- Costco Wholesale Has Fallen More Than 10 % From Its Peak Before . Here What History Says Happens Next .
Costco's stock, down 10% or more from its peak, has historically set a new high within a year, though two recent cases were exceptions. Over the past 10 years it fell 10% or more seven times before this decline; in five of them it set a new record within 12 months, and all seven recovered, the slowest in about 19 months. The two most recent drops lasted far longer: the 31.5% slide from April 2022's high took until December 2023 to recover, while the decline that began in February 2025 lasted until May 2026. With a P/E of 47.3 versus a 10-year average of 40 and slowing comparable-warehouse sales growth (8.8% in June versus 12.5% in May), the author thinks a new high within 12 months is less likely than the record implies, but still considers the dip a chance for long-term holders to buy more shares.
- Costco Wholesale Has Fallen More Than 10 % From Its Peak Before . Here What History Says Happens Next .
Costco (COST) is more than 10% below its peak, but the article notes such declines have historically been followed by a new record high within a year, though two recent exceptions stand out. Over the past 10 years the stock had seven drops of 10% or more before this one, five of which reached a new high within 12 months, and all seven eventually recovered. The two most recent declines took longer: the slide from the April 2022 high did not recover until December 2023, and the decline that began in February 2025 lasted until May 2026. The author points to slowing comparable sales, which rose 8.8% in June 2026 versus 12.5% in May, and a P/E of 47.3, still above its 10-year average of 40, as reasons a new high within 12 months looks less likely.
- Costco Wholesale Has Fallen More Than 10% From Its Peak Before. Here's What History Says Happens Next.
Costco's stock has fallen more than 10% from its May record high, with the drawdown at the lows just over 18%, and a recovery is already underway. Over the past 10 years, it had seven drops of 10% or more before this one and recovered from each, setting a new record within 12 months in five cases. The two most recent exceptions were a 31.5% slump from the April 2022 high that took until December 2023 to recover, and a decline from February 2025 that lasted until May 2026. Sales at warehouses open at least a year slowed to 8.8% in June 2026 from 12.5% in May, and the P/E of 47.3 on Oct. 15 remains well above its 10-year average of 40. The author, a long-term holder, says a new high within 12 months is less likely than the stock's record suggests, but sees the dip as a chance to buy more shares.

- Has VinFast found the 'chicken' to solve Vietnam's auto industry's toughest dilemma?
Vietnam's auto industry has long been stuck in a chicken-and-egg dilemma: low output discourages suppliers from investing, while a weak supporting industry keeps costs high. The article argues that VinFast's growing output could create the stable demand suppliers have been waiting for. VinFast delivered 196,919 electric vehicles globally in 2025, up 102%, including 46,977 VF 3s, and in the first nine months of the year it delivered 42,272 VF 3s and 40,018 Limo Green vehicles in Vietnam alone. The company said it added 55 domestic suppliers and localized 108 component groups in one year, and opened supply opportunities for its plants in India and Indonesia. However, suppliers still need stable, long-term orders, as well as competitive quality, cost and logistics, before they can commit to new investment.

U.S. stocks rose Monday as investors bought chip stocks after last week's sell-off, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) was on track to snap a nine-session losing streak, its worst since May 2006. The bounce was tepid: the Nasdaq rose 1%, while CoreWeave turned negative and fell to a new low for the year below $60 per share. Oil rose about $2 to around $103 per barrel, lifting inflation worries and pushing Treasury yields higher. Bank of America raised its price target on Eli Lilly to $1,397 from $1,341 after a physician survey suggested oral GLP-1 pills and Medicare coverage are expanding the obesity drug market, with Foundayo at 27% of U.S. oral GLP-1 new starts.

American Airlines shares are down 23% year to date at $11.87, lagging United (down 14%), Delta (up 8%), the U.S. Global Jets ETF (down 8%) and the S&P 500 (up 13%). Higher fuel costs drove the drop: in Q2 2026 revenue rose 16.3% to $16.7 billion, but aircraft fuel expense jumped 83.3% to $4.9 billion, operating margin fell to 2.7% from 7.9%, and net income dropped 88.2% to $71 million. Management cut its full-year adjusted outlook to a range from a loss of $0.65 to a profit of $0.65 per share, and guided to a Q3 adjusted loss of $0.70 to $0.10 per share. Premium revenue per unit rose 13.4% and managed corporate business grew 26%, but the company carries a stockholders' deficit of $3.97 billion and total debt of $34.7 billion. The article says the stock could rebound if fuel prices ease, and Q3 results are expected on October 22.
