Our compelling value proposition is resonating with our members and we believe our results demonstrate the meaningful progress we are making on our long-term strategic initiatives.”

Just this morning, J.P. Morgan upgraded BJ’s Wholesale Club to a Neutral rating after having previously set the retailer at Underweight. According to Seeking Alpha, the firm expects modest relation in grocery while the company is also seen benefiting from its efforts to reinvest in the business.

“I am proud of our team members for their continued dedication to our purpose of 'taking care of the families who depend on us,'” continued Eddy. “We will continue to invest in the long-term success of our company and we remain excited about our future.”
