Top 8 Discount Stores Stocks For 2025

3. PriceSmart Inc. (NASDAQ:PSMT)

PriceSmart Inc. runs and manages a chain of US-style membership warehouse clubs. It offers private label and basic non-consumable and consumable products. The company provides groceries, electronics, seafood, produce, sporting goods, home furnishing products, and other products. Even though the stock gained 20% over the course of a year, there was considerable volatility along the way. This makes hunting the stock on dips an interesting exercise at these valuations for investors.

PriceSmart is often dubbed the Costco of Central America. It has loyal customers that total 1.9 million, healthy foot traffic across its stores and is spread across the continent, though most of its stores are in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama.

The company has healthy gross margins of around 17%, which are made even more attractive by a membership model that allows the company to receive predictable, consistent, and recurring revenue. The quality of the management can be judged by the fact that its operations require low working capital and are well-supported by healthy cash flows. The company is a buy for anyone looking for Central America exposure while local stores in the US struggle to deal with Donald Trump’s new policies.
