Costco Wholesale's board of directors declared a special cash dividend of $30 per share on the company's common stock on November 10, 2026.
The board also reauthorized a common-stock repurchase program of up to $4 billion. The company said the program expires in November 2030 and replaces its current $4 billion program, adopted in 2023 and scheduled to expire in January 2027, under which $3.1 billion had been purchased.
Helena B. Foulkes notified the board on November 7, 2026, of her decision to resign from the board and all of its committees, effective that day. She had served on the board since August 16, 2023, and was a member of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee.
The company said Foulkes' resignation was not due to any disagreement with the company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. The company said Foulkes was elected governor of the State of Rhode Island.
