March 6 (Reuters) - Costco Wholesale ( COST ) beat Wall

Street expectations for second-quarter revenue on Thursday, as

its members shopped more goods, including groceries, home

furnishings and electronics, in bulk from its retail outlets

amid rising living costs.

The company's quarterly revenue rose 9% to $63.72 billion,

compared with analysts' average expectations of $63.13 billion

according to data compiled by LSEG.
