PriceSmart, Inc. (PSMT) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
PriceSmart remains a soft 'buy' after significant outperformance, supported by consistent growth and undervaluation versus peers. PSMT's Q1 2026 revenue rose 9.9% to $1.38B, driven by strong Colombia comps (+27.9%) and membership expansion. Membership income reached $89M, with platinum penetration increasing to 19.3%, enhancing recurring revenue and customer engagement.
PriceSmart's NASDAQ: PSMT stock price action cleared a significant hurdle in 2025, crossing to new all-time highs early in the year. The move signals a base case for $45 upside: the market broke out of a $45 trading range and later confirmed prior resistance (the top of the range) as its new support level.
PriceSmart, Inc. (PSMT) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
Warehouse club operator PriceSmart recently reported Q1 results that landed within expectations. Shares have enjoyed a strong run over the past year, up 40% in this timeframe. Shares trade at 23x forward earnings, a discount to COST, while maintaining robust growth and underpenetrated market opportunities, in my view.
PriceSmart continues to expand in Central and South America, driving steady revenue and profitability growth through new store openings and membership gains. PSMT's comparable store sales rose 7.5%, and membership accounts hit a record 2.01 million, with high renewal rates and increased premium memberships boosting margins. Shares have outperformed the S&P 500, but valuation is now fair; while easy gains are likely behind, I maintain a soft "Buy" rating pending upcoming Q1 results.
