Default risk, three ways
Stock market: distance-to-default
Distance-to-default 23.70: safer than 97% of companies (93th percentile in Consumer Defensive). Market-implied, prices to 2026-10-16, balance sheet 2026-08-30.
| Equity value | $440.92B |
| Debt barrier (short-term + ½ long-term debt) | $4.21B |
| Equity volatility (1 year) | 19.9% |

| Risk-free rate (1-year Treasury) | 4.28% |
Bond market: priced-in odds
A 29 bp spread prices in about 0.5% a year of default odds (spread ÷ (1 − 40% recovery)). Fund-reported marks as of Jul 2026; the spread also pays for liquidity and risk premium, so this overstates actual defaults.

The stock side: 13F filings
What institutions report holding in COST's stock and options. Options are reported at the value of the underlying shares, not the premium paid; 13F lists long positions only, lags 45 days after quarter-end, and does not show whether puts hedge a stock position.
