Here's How Many Shares of Costco Stock You'd Need for $1,000 in Yearly Dividends

Costco raised its quarterly dividend to $1.47 per share (annual $5.88) for the 22nd consecutive year, requiring 171 shares to generate $1,000 in annual dividends. Despite a low 0.6% dividend yield, the company demonstrates strong fundamentals with 92%+ membership renewal rates, 14% membership growth over two years, and record 2025 sales of $275 billion. Recent stock weakness following profit-taking and disappointing earnings reports presents a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
