Two Retail Stocks to Buy Before the Holiday Shopping Season
Yahoo Finance ·
Thanksgiving falls on November 26 this year, followed immediately by Black Friday. For major retailers, the upcoming weeks are critical for annual performance. Last year, Amazon posted fourth-quarter revenues roughly 18 percent higher than its third-quarter figures. Two retail equities stand out as worthwhile additions ahead of this busy period: Amazon and Costco Wholesale. Both companies enter the shopping season backed by resilient sales growth throughout the year. However, their recent stock performances have diverged. Amazon shares remain significantly below their early August peak, whereas Costco stock has climbed about 8 percent in October, trading near the $1,000 threshold.

Ahead of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, the year-end shopping season is gaining attention as a critical period that will determine the annual performance of major retailers. Last year, Amazon benefited from the year-end special with Q4 sales increasing by about 18% compared to Q3. Amazon and Costco, which are recording solid sales growth, are cited as promising investment destinations, raising investor expectations.
상승 영향
- Retail — Driven by year-end shopping seasons such as Thanksgiving and Black Friday, major retailers' sales are expected to surge, driving annual earnings improvements.
- Consumer Goods — Due to year-end consumption specials, major consumer goods companies like Amazon and Costco will directly benefit from increased sales volume and improved profitability.
DYAX 전담 분석
The year-end shopping season is the peak season directly tied to the annual sales of the consumer goods and retail sectors, where major retail companies like Amazon and Costco enjoy a surge in performance during this period. In particular, Amazon's stock price has recently formed an attractive entry point as it is lower than its peak, while Costco surged by about 8% in October alone, showing strength approaching the $1,000 mark.
Future scenarios are expected to diverge depending on the scale of year-end consumer spending and supply chain efficiency. If consumer sentiment exceeds expectations, both companies have significant room for further stock price increases; however, if consumption contracts due to inflationary pressures, earnings expectations could turn into disappointment, requiring close monitoring of Q4 retail sales indicators and individual companies' inventory management efficiency.
