PriceSmart stated on its Q1 earnings call that its comparable net merchandise sales for the nine week period ended December 28 2025 grew 7.1% in U.S. dollars and 5.4% in constant currency. Executives added on the call: "This represents solid performance as we continue to comp against increasingly strong prior year periods, though it does reflect a deceleration from our first quarter's growth rate. December specifically was impacted by several transitory factors. Government elections in Honduras created consumer uncertainty. Panama's extended rainy season disrupted both traffic and logistics, and supply chain timing issues created out of stocks and several high volume food items, a situation we identified and are addressing. Looking forward, we are encouraged by what we are seeing."
