Costco stock tanking - should I be concerned?

I know the overall market has been volatile, but I've noticed Costco stock has been underperforming recently compared to other retailers. I'm not a finance guy, but I'm vested in the company stock plan, so naturally I'm paying attention. Anyone with a better understanding of market trends have insight into whether this is just a temporary blip or a sign of deeper issues? I'm a floor supervisor with 12 years in, so my entire retirement plan is basically tied to this place. Starting to sweat a bit, ngl. I know past performance doesn't guarantee future results, but this is kinda scary. Anyone else feeling the same?

I understand your concern. I'm not a financial advisor, but as a long-time Costco shopper, I think their fundamentals are still strong. Membership renewals are high, and they still offer great value. It's possible the stock is just correcting after a period of high growth. Maybe consider diversifying your retirement if possible, but I wouldn't panic sell.

Costco's success is *because* their customers don't 'get' market trends. They get cheap rotisserie chicken. That said, being heavy on one company's stock is always risky. Twelve years is a long time to have all your eggs in one basket. I'd consult a financial planner to explore diversifying your holdings. Better safe than sorry, especially when your retirement is on the line.
