HowRead from whichever of the two concepts the company files more recently, quarters only. A row marked derived is the fiscal-year total minus the nine-month figure, both filed: arithmetic, not a filed quarter.
Every historical figure above is what COSTCO WHOLESALE CORP /NEW itself reported: per-share dividends declared each fiscal quarter; everything beyond that is the current rate carried forward and says so. Yield is trailing, computed against the last end-of-day close — a forward yield differs the moment the rate changes. Educational information, not investment advice.
