Description: BBY Best Buy Co. October 30, 2025
Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE: BBY) is a multinational retailer that sells a broad array of technology-focused consumer goods-including computers, mobile devices, smart-home equipment, appliances, and entertainment products-through both physical stores and e-commerce platforms under brands such as Best Buy, Insignia, and Geek Squad. The company also monetizes ancillary services (delivery, installation, technical support, and warranty extensions) and operates specialty channels like Best Buy Business and Best Buy Health.
In its most recent fiscal year (FY 2023), Best Buy generated approximately $47 billion in revenue, with comparable-store sales rising ~4 % YoY and online sales accounting for roughly 30 % of total revenue-an increase of about 5 percentage points versus the prior year. Gross margin hovered near 20.5 % and operating margin at 3.5 %, reflecting the higher-margin contribution of services (Geek Squad revenue grew ~8 % YoY). Inventory turnover improved to 5.2 times, indicating tighter supply-chain management after the pandemic-induced disruptions.
Key economic and sector drivers that shape Best Buy’s outlook include: (1) consumer-discretionary spending trends, which are sensitive to real-wage growth and inflationary pressure; (2) the ongoing shift toward omnichannel retail, where seamless integration of in-store and online experiences drives higher basket sizes; and (3) macro-level supply-chain constraints on semiconductor and appliance components, which can affect product availability and pricing power.
