Jim Cramer on Costco (COST): "I Didn't Like Everything I Heard"

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer shared his take on. A club member asked if Cramer has any reservations about the management change at the company, given that the stock has been a “laggard all year”. Here’s what he had to say in response:

“Look, I have concerns about everything… I was watching Costco today versus Walmart. It was really killing me. I know that Richard Galanti has departed as CFO. New CFO, I think does a good job. I know that the monthly signups, the people who re-up have been a little slower. I know that some months were better than others. These are not what I’m used to from Costco. I said that I’d have to reevaluate it. I will reevaluate it. I didn’t like everything I heard, and I’m used to liking everything I hear. But it’s stunning for me because I own this stock for so long and I love shopping there. So I’m not willing to throw in the towel, but I’m never oblivious to changes that I don’t like.”
