BJ’s Wholesale Club reported disappointing second-quarter sales that fell short of Wall Street expectations, sending its shares to their worst day in over three years. The company attributed the slowdown to members across all income levels cutting back on spending.
Despite this, CEO Bob Eddy stated that BJ’s will maintain current prices until further notice. This stance is significant given the challenging tariff environment, which is expected to have a “dynamic” impact on consumer spending.
Membership growth at BJ’s was notable, however, with strong increases across various income levels. This suggests that while overall sales were weaker than anticipated, there may be underlying trends worth exploring in terms of loyalty and retention among BJ’s members.
