Costco reported strong Q2 results, with analysts raising price targets and maintaining positive ratings. The stock experienced a slight pullback attributed to high expectations and no immediate membership fee hike.
The positive analyst ratings and raised price targets reflect confidence in Costco's performance and strategic positioning.
