Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 23. September 2026 · Predicted for 24. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

72%

Costco reports Q4 FY2026 today (Sept 24, 2026); total revenue (>$94.5B) and diluted EPS (>$6.50) are already tracked as open predictions. Comparable sales growth ex-fuel is a distinct, uncovered metric. In Q3 FY2026 (Feb–May 2026) Costco posted ~8.1% ex-fuel comp growth; analyst consensus for Q4 is ~7.8%. Seasonal summer strength (travel, food, electronics) and sustained membership growth (+8% YoY in Q3) support another beat of the 7.5% threshold. No Polymarket market available; estimate based on consensus data and historical trend.

Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) beats Q3 FY2027 EPS consensus of $2.06 per share — earnings report November 18, 2026 before market open (confirmed by Target Investor Relations or Bloomberg by November 18, 2026, 12:00 PM ET)

Target has beaten the EPS consensus in 30 of its last 43 estimates (69.8%). In the most recent Q2 FY2027, TGT posted $2.46 per share vs. a $2.35 consensus — a +76% earnings surprise. Q3 consensus is $2.06–$2.08 on $26.71B revenue (+16.85% YoY). No Polymarket market directly available; the ~70% historical beat rate is the anchor. Tailwind: stronger back-to-school and early holiday demand, margin gain from private-label mix. Risk: consumer spending under pressure from persistently high rates (Fed target 3.75–4.00%); discretionary category weakness could overshadow grocery strength.
