Costco Wholesale (COST) has declined 1.2% after reporting that same-store sales increased 8% in April, helped by strong international growth and rising gasoline prices. The consensus estimate was for a 6.1% increase. The company said excluding gasoline price inflation, comparable sales would have been up 5% in its U.S. home market. Total sales for the 4 weeks ended May 4 rose 12% to $5.54 billion.

Mall-Based Retailers

The retailer said it expects first-quarter earnings of about 10 cents per share, compared to the year-earlier 8 cents per share, noting that better gross margins offset the expected decline in same-store sales. The consensus estimate for the quarter currently stands at 6 cents per share.
