What the filing says
PriceSmart reported Q4 FY2026 (ended August 31, 2026) net merchandise sales of $1.48B (+13.8% YoY) and diluted EPS of $1.21 (+18.6% from $1.02). FY2026 full-year net income was $166.6M (+12.6%), with EPS of $5.40 (+12.0% from $4.82). The company opened its third Jamaica club (42,000 sq ft, Montego Bay) and plans four additional clubs: Jamaica (Kingston, Dec 2026), Guatemala (Villa Nueva, late winter 2027), Costa Rica (Heredia, spring 2027), and Chile (Santiago, spring 2027), bringing total to 63 clubs. Currency headwinds were material: FX favorably impacted Q4 sales by $78.5M (6.0%) and FY2026 by $170.6M (3.3%); constant-currency Q4 comps grew only 6.2% vs. reported 12.2%.
Why this rating
Strong earnings beat and FX-driven sales growth; expansion on track. But 6% constant-currency comp deceleration and reliance on favorable currency translation (3–6% of growth) raise sustainability concerns relative to $4.1B market cap.
