COST
Costco Wholesale Corp
stock NASDAQ

COST I like as a pick. They should see increased sales as people try to stretch their money by shopping and getting the cheapest gas possible at the same place. It’s always slammed near me and I go on a weekday morning.

You lose a lot of credibility from me when you say PGR UNH NFLX COST are safe haven stocks

everyone is talking about the iran war and trump’s tariffs, but i wanted to see which companies are actually panicking in their official sec filings. i spent my entire weekend digging through the "risk factors" section of the 2 most recent 10-Ks for 98 s&p 500 companies.
i looked for 8 specific themes: tariffs, war, geopolitical, oil/energy, sanctions, supply chain, interest rates, and recession.
here is the data. some of this makes zero sense on paper, but the 10-Ks don't lie.
# the "macro risk" top 10 (highest exposure)
|ticker|company|exposure score|key risk mentions|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|MS|morgan stanley|95.6|221 total (massive geopolitical/war)|
|C|citigroup|91.2|269 total (highest volume in the scan)|
|BAC|bank of america|80.4|102 mentions|
|GS|goldman sachs|67.2|heavy institutional/trading risk|
|JPM|jpmorgan|62.1|systemic macro exposure|
|CVX|chevron|58.0|188 oil/energy mentions (obviously)|
|BLK|blackrock|52.1|asset management/global exposure|
|EOG|eog resources|50.2|142 oil mentions|
|CDNS|cadence|45.6|21 tariff mentions (semis getting hit)|
|REGN|regeneron|43.7|36 tariff mentions (surprising for pharma)|
# the "safe haven" list (the ones who don't care)
if you're looking for where to hide, these companies basically didn't even mention the war or tariffs in their risk factors:
* **PGR** (progressive): only 7 mentions total.
* **UNH** (unitedhealth): 6 mentions.
* **NFLX** (netflix): 6 mentions.
* **COST** (costco): 8 mentions.
# 3 things that surprised me:
1. banks are the real "war" stocks: i expected oil companies to be #1, but morgan stanley and citi are screaming about geopolitical risk way louder. they are terrified of credit defaults and trade finance collapsing while the market is at all-time highs.
2. the semiconductor "sanction" trap: nvda (ranked #13) and cdns have massive exposure to sanctions and tariffs. nvda has 50 mentions of "sanctions" alone. the "ai moat" is built on a very fragile geopolitical foundation. if the strait stays closed, the supply chain for chips is toast.
3. pharma is not immune: regeneron (regn) has 36 tariff mentions. i didn't realize how much their supply chain for raw materials is tied to the current trade war.
# the "so what?"
the market is pricing in a "soft landing" or a "short war," but the banks are writing 200+ page warnings about systemic collapse. either the banks are being overly cautious for legal reasons, or they are seeing a credit crunch that the retail market is completely ignoring.
i'm personally looking at costco and progressive as the only real "sleep at night" stocks right now.
what am i missing? are the banks just covering their asses with legal boilerplate, or is the risk in the financial sector a legitimate warning for the entire s&p 500?
not financial advice. i'm just a guy who spent too much time on sec edgar this weekend.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) — 2.4%

well I don't own it , but COST looks like it's down maybe 10% that's nothing. At some point retard bears figure out that blue chip companies like COST overtime go higher. it's very very basic.

There's no way you can possibly return your investment from WMT and COST without selling your bags to somebody else. Everybody knows this but everybody also thinks the bubble can go higher. At some point there are no more buyers and we crash hard but idk when that will happen.

everyone is talking about the iran war and trump’s tariffs, but i wanted to see which companies are actually panicking in their official sec filings.
i built a tool to scan the "risk factors" section of the 2 most recent 10-Ks for 98 s&p 500 companies. i looked for 8 keyword groups: tariffs, war, geopolitical, oil/energy, sanctions, supply chain, interest rates, and recession.

note: i used a tool i'm building called riskradar to pull this data from sec edgar. it’s keyword-based, so it’s not perfect, but i manually verified the top 10 and the warnings are legitimate.

# F35 COST TOO MUCH TO RISK IT

COST, WMT, and TSLA. Well, TSLA was more so trading than investing, but still
