Hold - Price 66.98 on Feb. 5 by McAdams Wright Ragen We expect COST to report January comparable-store sales in the 6% to 7% range [versus] comparatively easy 2% prior-year.

SVVS management reported seeing no signs of demand weakness related to the slowing economy....Trading at only 7.7 times '08 estimated Ebitda, current level [appears to be] an excellent entry opportunity. Our [discounted cash flow] indicates 70% outperformance potential versus the market over the next 12 months, implying 9.3 times 2009E Ebitda. Market-cap: $1.2 billion
