What happened

Costco’s board declared a one-time cash payment of $30 for each share, totaling about $13.3 billion. Shareholders recorded on November 24, 2026, are due to be paid on December 4. The board also renewed permission to buy back up to $4 billion of Costco shares through November 2030.

Global impact / market context

The cash payment gives eligible shareholders money directly. The renewed buyback allows Costco to spend money buying its own shares, but the supplied facts do not say how much it will use or when.

What to watch

  1. Check whether you are recorded as a shareholder on November 24, 2026; this determines eligibility for the payment.
  2. Check whether the $30-per-share payment is made on December 4, 2026; this is the stated payment date.
  3. Check how much Costco uses from the renewed $4 billion buyback and when; the authorization sets a limit, not a required amount.
