Costco Wholesale Corporation is facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging that its rotisserie chicken products may pose a salmonella contamination risk. The lawsuit claims that Costco's chicken processing plant in Nebraska has salmonella infections and that the company failed to inform customers about the hazards. The complainant, Lisa Taylor, argues that she overpaid for the chicken due to these undisclosed contamination issues. The lawsuit highlights concerns over consumer safety and trust, while Costco has not yet responded to the allegations.

Costco is retiring its outdated ordering system for custom cakes and deli trays, allowing customers to place orders via its mobile app and website. This upgrade aims to streamline the ordering process, which previously required in-store visits to fill out paper forms. The new system will include customizable options and is expected to be available by the end of 2026. CEO Ron Vachris expressed excitement about the digital transition, which addresses customer complaints about the previous process.

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on President Trump's tariffs on February 20, with prediction markets indicating only a 28% chance of a favorable ruling. Major retailers and manufacturers, including Costco and Toyota, are seeking refunds totaling over $130 billion. The tariffs have resulted in significant financial impacts, with U.S. households facing tax increases and the government projected to collect substantial revenue. If the ruling is unfavorable, the administration may attempt to recreate the tariff structure through other legal means.

- The U.S. Supreme Court will rule on President Trump's tariff policy on Feb. 20, with a low likelihood of upholding it at 28%.  
- Costco and several other companies are challenging the tariffs, which could lead to refunds exceeding $130 billion and a significant impact on American trade policy.  
- U.S. households are expected to face an average tax increase due to these tariffs, with the government projected to earn $171.1 billion from them in 2026.

Costco Wholesale has expanded same-day delivery to France and Spain via Instacart, while tightening food court access for members only. These changes aim to enhance membership value and digital convenience. Current share price is $978.14, with a 3.7% return over the past month. Investors should monitor member adoption of Instacart services and the impact of stricter food court policies on customer behavior. The partnership with Instacart may accelerate Costco's European online presence, but reliance on third-party logistics introduces execution risks. Overall, these moves reflect Costco's strategy to deepen membership value and adapt to consumer expectations.
