COST Pullback Momentum (Post-Earnings Drift) Strategy
Created
Thesis
Costco just posted strong earnings, and Goldman Sachs is publicly calling for a sharp move higher — the kind of heavyweight endorsement that keeps buyers coming in for days after the print. Friday's roundup of analyst calls shows Costco is one of the names Wall Street is most vocal about, adding confirmation from multiple desks. In a market rattled by 5% bond yields, a defensive retailer with proven pricing power is one of the safer places for money to hide. Post-earnings drift — the tendency for stocks to keep moving in the direction of a big earnings surprise — should work in longs' favor here.
