  • Dividend — resolved “No” on 25 Sept 2026. The outcome is Yes if a Costco representative mentions a dividend during the upcoming earnings call or its question-and-answer session. The outcome is No if no such mention occurs within that specific event. Readers often mistake any general discussion of profits for an actual dividend announcement.
