Comparing Walmart (WMT +0.44%) and Costco Wholesale (COST +0.80%) is a good exercise for investors seeking a durable business, as both companies are arguably exceptionally durable. Both have proven their ability to attract shoppers and grow sales across different economic environments. But Wall Street has already recognized this durability, giving both stocks very high valuations. This means investors have to carefully weigh the two companies' growth trajectories against the expectations baked into their share prices before investing. A good way to take a close look at the stocks of these two high-quality companies is to compare them. Which of these two market leaders is the better buy?

油價急升｜料航空公司陸續上調附加費 旅遊業界：客人肯定會不開心 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】國際油價上漲，有旅遊業界預計多間航空公司會陸續上調燃油附加費，已報旅行團的旅客亦可能會受影響。 國際油價上漲，市民外遊的預算可能也要預多一點。香港航空公布星期四起上調燃油附加費，往日本、泰國等短途機每程加至212元，上升了三成；往歐美等長途機每程加至739元，上升兩成半。香港快運和國泰未宣布加價，國泰稱會參考航空燃油市場價格走勢，並綜合其他營運因素按需要調整。 有旅行社負責人相信多間航空公司會陸續調整燃加附加費。東瀛遊董事會主席禤國全：「相信短線的燃油附加費，每程由原本的增加50至60元，來回約160元左右。每間公司不一樣，長線的話由現在的每程500至800，再加200至400元，即是兩程來回貴400或500元。我們只是代收而已，當然多花了錢，客人肯定會不開心。」他又說旅行團一般出發前8至10天出機票，即使一早報了團，也不能提早領取機票，避開額外附加費。

Advertisement Recent Performance Snapshot CPI FIM (BDL:ORCL) has drawn attention after a recent 1 day share price decline of about 1%, extending a weaker patch over the past month and past 3 months for the Luxembourg listed real estate owner. Stepping back from the latest move, CPI FIM’s share price return has been weak so far in 2026, while its 1 year total shareholder return is close to flat. However, longer term total returns over 3 and 5 years are much stronger, which suggests sentiment has cooled recently compared with the past. If this kind of mixed performance has you looking around the market, it could be a good moment to widen your search and check out as potential long term ideas. With CPI FIM’s shares soft this year but 3 and 5 year total returns much stronger, the real question is whether today’s price reflects temporary caution, or if the market is already pricing in future growth? Preferred P/E of 13.1x: Is it justified? Based on the latest data, CPI FIM trades on a P/E of 13.1x, which sits slightly below both its European real estate industry average of 13.5x and a peer average of 14.8x. The P/E ratio compares the current share price to earnings per share, so it gives you a quick sense of how much investors are paying for each euro of profit. For a real estate owner with established operations in Poland and the Czech Republic, this kind of earnings based yardstick is a common way to frame how the market is valuing its ongoing income stream. Here, the message is that the market is not attaching a premium multiple to CPI FIM’s reported earnings. With high quality earnings, a 50.3% net profit margin and a company that has moved into profitability over the past 5 years, a P/E below both industry and peer averages suggests investors are cautious rather than enthusiastic about those profits at the current €0.89 share price. Compared with the European real estate industry P/E of 13.5x and the peer average of 14.8x, CPI FIM’s 13.1x points to a modestly cheape...
