Description: BBY Best Buy Co. January 03, 2026
Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE: BBY) is a multinational retailer of consumer technology and appliances, operating under brands such as Best Buy, Geek Squad, Insignia, and Lively. Its product portfolio spans computing devices, mobile phones, smart-home gear, televisions, home appliances, entertainment media, and ancillary items like luggage and outdoor living goods. In addition to brick-and-mortar stores, the company sells online and offers a suite of services-including delivery, installation, technical support, warranties, and health-related offerings-under various membership and service programs.
Key recent metrics: FY 2024 revenue reached approximately $45 billion, with comparable-store sales up 3.5% YoY and online sales accounting for roughly 30% of total revenue. Gross margin improved to 23.1% driven by higher-margin services (Geek Squad revenue grew 12% YoY) and the expansion of private-label brands like Insignia. Macro drivers include consumer discretionary spending trends, inflation-adjusted pricing power, and the ongoing tech-refresh cycle that fuels demand for laptops, smartphones, and smart-home devices.
