What Is Costco?
The wary warehouse.
Costco runs membership warehouses on a simple bargain: pay an annual fee, buy in bulk, trust that the markup stays tiny. The model has produced one of the most loyal customer bases in retail and one of the most expensively valued stocks in the sector. That valuation is the tension the CFGI Costco fear and greed index picks up, because a crowd paying this much for certainty gets nervous every time certainty wobbles.
The CFGI read: Costco's crowd went from one extreme to the other in nine trading sessions. On 19 May 2026 the score hit its window high of 82 out of 100, Extreme Greed, on the exact day the price topped at $1,094.32. Two sessions later it shed 27 points, from 76 to 49, and by 1 June 2026 it had sunk to 16, Extreme Fear, at $946.11. No other fact captures this panel better: the mood peaked with the price and broke with it.
Costco Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
The wariness is chronic, not episodic. Costco logged 104 days in Fear against 68 in Greed across the window, and its average score of 46 ranks it 33rd most fearful of the stocks we track, a strikingly low mood for a business this steady. The longest run of gloom, 15 sessions in Fear or worse from 18 September to 8 October 2025, ended with a 31-point jump from 30 to 61 on 9 October, the crowd's biggest single-day recovery.
Price explains some of it. The stock slipped 7% across the window, from $1,004.48 to $934.62, and touched $850 on 22 December 2025, so the caution was not imaginary. Costco closed the window at 47, Neutral, on 24 July 2026, back at the sort of score it always seems to return to on the whole-market Fear and Greed Index: a wealthy crowd, a defensive habit, and a mood that prices doubt long before the shelves ever empty.

Costco Fear and Greed Index FAQ
What is the Costco Fear and Greed Index today?
The Costco Fear and Greed Index today is 44/100 on the daily view, showing Neutral. It summarizes live Costco market sentiment on a 0 to 100 scale.
How is the Costco Fear and Greed Index calculated?
CFGI combines price action, impulse, volatility, volume, technicals, social sentiment, dominance, search interest, whale activity and order book pressure into one Costco fear and greed reading.
What is a good Costco Fear and Greed Index reading?
There is no single good reading, because the index measures mood rather than value. Extreme Fear below 25 marks the points where sentiment is most washed out, and Extreme Greed above 75 the points carrying the most risk, so what counts as good depends on whether you are buying or selling.
How accurate is the Costco Fear and Greed Index?
It reads sentiment accurately and predicts price poorly, and those are two different things. The score reflects what the Costco market feels right now across ten live inputs, so treat it as a risk gauge rather than a forecast: it tells you how one-sided the crowd has become, not what happens next.
What does the Costco Fear and Greed Index measure?
It measures the emotional state of the Costco market on a 0 to 100 scale, from extreme fear at 0 to extreme greed at 100. CFGI builds that number from ten indicators including price action, volatility, volume, momentum, technicals and social sentiment, rather than from price alone.
How do I use the Costco Fear and Greed Index?
Most people use it to size risk rather than to time entries. The extreme readings are the useful ones: they flag when the crowd has become one-sided, which is when caution costs least and greed costs most. Read it alongside price and volume, never on its own.
How often is the Costco Fear and Greed Index updated?
The Costco Fear and Greed Index is updated every 15 minutes, so the live reading can change as Costco market conditions shift.
