Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ: COST) shares are trading higher by $1.20 at $158.33 in Monday’s session. The issue is attempting to rebound from one if worst seven day stretches in years as the issue declined from its June 14 close ($181.67-which as its all time closing high), to Friday’s closing price of $157.13.
The stealth move to the downside was instigated by Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) purchase of Whole Foods Market (NYSE: WFM) on June 16.
The price reduction has prompted Raymond James to upgrade the issue from Market Perform to Outperform. After a higher open, it continued in that direction, but found sellers just ahead of Friday’s high ($159.80) at $159.69 and has drifting towards the low for the session of $158.10.
