11:05 AM EDT, 08/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- BJ's Wholesale Club (BJ) posted "decent" fiscal Q2 financial results amid a challenging scenario as consumers appear to continue seeking out its value proposition, UBS Securities said in a note Friday.

The membership warehouse operator's earnings, which were above consensus estimates, likely got a boost from its fuel profitability, while its core comp was mainly supported by traffic growth, UBS said.

Meanwhile, the increase in the company's selling, general, and administrative expenses was mainly due to higher labor and occupancy costs after new club and gas station openings, UBS said.

UBS has a buy rating and $135 price target on the stock.

Shares of BJ's Wholesale Club were down more than 8% in recent trading Friday.
