Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) is ranked among the best low volatility stocks to buy by analysts. William Blair reaffirmed its Outperform rating on COST after the company announced monthly sales of $26.4 billion for June 2025, an 8.0% year-over-year increase.

The strong sales growth was driven by the addition of 25 new warehouses, representing a 2.8% unit expansion, and a comparative sales growth of 5.8%. June comparative sales showed reacceleration after two months of weaker performance, mainly due to foreign exchange tailwinds.

US adjusted comparable sales for Costco increased by 5.5%, with a two-year stack of 11.8%. Canadian operations saw an increase of 7.9% and other international markets had a growth of 8.2%.

Costco Wholesale Corporation offers bulk discounts on various products through its membership-based warehouse club. While COST is seen as a good investment, some believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and lower downside risk.
