The company was formerly known as Sound of Music, Inc. Best Buy Co., Inc. was incorporated in 1966 and is headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota.

Best Buy appears to be a mature retailer with strong return on capital, but with noticeable pressure on margins and liquidity. A P/E of 11.2 and a P/S of 0.38 are below the industry median, supporting the case for an inexpensive valuation on earnings and revenue; however, a P/B of 5.63 is more than twice the industry median, which makes the valuation balance less comfortable. A P/FCF of 11.4 looks moderate, but not low enough to fully offset the weaknesses in margins and working capital. ROE of 40.05%, ROA of 7.42%, and ROI of 28.47% are significantly above the industry and are the main fundamental positive: the company is able to generate high returns on capital. At the same time, a net profit margin of 2.73% and an operating margin of 3.68% remain below industry benchmarks, meaning the business operates efficiently but within a very thin margin band. Gross margin of around 22.5% has remained almost unchanged over the years, which points to stability but not to expanding pricing power. The debt burden looks manageable: debt/equity of 0.38 is below the median, and long-term debt has barely increased over the period, reducing financial risk. The weak point is liquidity: a quick ratio of 0.40 and a current ratio of 1.12 indicate a limited margin of safety, especially for a cyclical consumer retailer. A dividend yield of 1.28% looks stable but not high, and in terms of dynamics it is more being maintained than accelerating. Revenue, profit, and operating profit generally remain positive, but absolute profit figures are small relative to the scale of the business, which limits the potential for revaluation. The decline in total shareholder equity and the high P/B valuation suggest that the market already recognizes the quality of capital and does not offer a large discount. Overall, the fundamentals support the company as a high-quality but not cheap asset, so a moderately cautious downward adjustment is appropriate for the target price.

BBY combines strong return on capital and a moderate earnings valuation with pressure on margins, liquidity, and a high P/B, so fundamentals are moderately restraining the upside.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value Score
Value investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth Score
Growth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum Score
Momentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
If you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Best Buy (BBY)
Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Richfield, MN, Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY) is one of North America's largest specialty retailers of consumer electronics, computing products, appliances, entertainment products, mobile phones and technology-related services. The company operates as an omnichannel retailer, combining its extensive store network with e-commerce capabilities to provide customers with a seamless shopping experience across physical and digital channels.
BBY is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
It also boasts a Value Style Score of A thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 13.03; value investors should take notice.
Nine analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2027, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.06 to $6.56 per share. BBY also boasts an average earnings surprise of +5.5%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, BBY should be on investors' short list.
Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

What this transaction means for investors
The July 13 and July 14 sale of Best Buy stock by company founder and Chairman Emeritus Richard Schulze came at a time when shares were soaring. The stock eventually hit a 52-week high of $87.35 on July 16.
Even so, Schulze’s sale was a non-discretionary transaction executed as part of a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 plan. Such plans allow insiders to sell shares at predetermined times to avoid concerns of trading on non-public information.

His substantial equity stake in the company he founded suggests Schulze remains bullish on the stock.
Best Buy shares are up thanks to solid business performance. The company reported $8.9 billion in revenue for its fiscal first quarter ended May 2, up from $8.8 billion in the prior year.

Best Buy's Founder and Chairman Emeritus Sold Company Shares Worth $74 Million. Here's What That Means for Investors.

Investors in Best Buy Inc (Symbol: BBY) saw new options become available today, for the October 16th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 94 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a potential opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the BBY options chain for the new October 16th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $80.00 strike price has a current bid of $5.20. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $80.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $74.80 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of BBY, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $80.71/share today.
Because the $80.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 57%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.50% return on the cash commitment, or 25.24% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Best Buy Inc, and highlighting in green where the $80.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $85.00 strike price has a current bid of $3.90. If an investor was to purchase shares of BBY stock at the current price level of $80.71/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $85.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 10.15% if the stock gets called away at the October 16th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if BBY shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Best Buy Inc, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing BBY's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $85.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $85.00 strike represents an approximate 5% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 57%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 4.83% boost of extra return to the investor, or 18.76% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example, as well as the call contract example, are both approximately 39%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $80.71) to be 37%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

October 16th Options Now Available For Best Buy (BBY)

Key Points
Best Buy currently looks substantially stronger on revenue, generating significantly higher sales volumes than GameStop.
The two companies exhibit a highly seasonal revenue pattern over the last eight quarters, with massive quarter-over-quarter spikes followed by consistent subsequent declines.
Investors should watch whether the massive revenue gap between the two companies remains steady or begins to shift over upcoming seasonal cycles.
Best Buy: Managing a Massive Revenue Base
Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) primarily generates revenue by selling a wide array of consumer electronics, household appliances, and entertainment products, alongside offering consultation, repair, and technical support services to its customers.
It recently appointed Jason Bonfig as its new Chief Executive Officer, and for the quarter ended May 2, 2026, it reported a net income margin of 3%.
GameStop: Smaller Scale With Similar Seasonal Shifts
GameStop (NYSE:GME) earns most of its revenue by providing new and pre-owned video game consoles, software, and accessories, along with digital gaming content and licensed pop culture merchandise.
It recently submitted an unsolicited proposal to acquire eBay for $55.5 billion, which eBay’s Board of Directors rejected. For the quarter ended May 2, 2026, it recorded a net income margin of 47%.
Why Revenue Matters for Retail Investors

Foolish Take
As is typical for retailers, Best Buy and GameStop experience sales spikes over the holiday shopping season in November and December. The former’s vastly higher revenue illustrates how the electronics retailer successfully navigated shifts in its business as consumers abandoned physical movie and video game media for digital versions. Its sales edged up to $8.9 billion in its fiscal first quarter ended May 2 compared to $8.8 billion in the prior year.
GameStop is attempting to adjust to changes in shopping behavior by introducing collectibles, which helped drive 14% year-over-year sales growth in its fiscal first quarter ended May 2. The company also posted the highest quarterly net income in its history, reaching $389.6 million, as a result of a confluence of cost management, higher revenue, and gains on investments such as Bitcoin.
Over the long term, Best Buy stands to see continued revenue growth. It has diversified across computers, appliances, mobile phones, and other products that provide resilience against economic headwinds. Meanwhile, GameStop still needs to prove it has a sustainable business as its core video games offering is in rapid decline, especially after Sony announced its PlayStation console will only sell digital content starting in 2028.

Best Buy Adds RGB LED TVs To Stores Nationwide

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Tuesday closed down -1.44%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -0.09%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -3.29%. September E-mini S&P futures (ESU26) fell -1.41%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU26) fell -3.28%.
Stock indexes sold off sharply on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 posting a 1.5-week low and the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq 100 posting 1-week lows. Concerns over the high valuations of chipmakers and memory stocks, among the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial-intelligence trade, have led to global selling in those sectors on Tuesday as investors question whether future returns can justify current spending on AI. Tuesday’s +5% jump in International Business Machines limited losses in the Dow Jones Industrials.

Tuesday’s stock slump began in Asia, with Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average falling by more than -3%. Also, South Korea’s Kospi index closed down more than -10%, as foreign investors offloaded more than $2.5 billion of Kospi shares. South Korea’s SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics closed down by more than -12%, sparking forced liquidation that hit retail investors trading on margin, compounded by a wave of selling tied to leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking the two chip giants.
Stock indexes recovered from their worst levels on Tuesday amid signs of strength in the US economy, after the Jun S&P manufacturing PMI unexpectedly rose by +0.6 to 55.7, stronger than expectations of a decline to 54.6 and the strongest figure in 4 years.
On the negative side, the US Jun Richmond Fed manufacturing survey current conditions fell -9 to 4, weaker than expectations of 8.

Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) on Tuesday closed up +4.5 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield fell -1.6 bp to 4.493%. T-notes settled higher as Tuesday’s sharp selloff in global equity markets fueled safe-haven demand for government debt securities. Also, easing inflation expectations were supportive of T-notes, as the 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 6-month low of 2.210% on Tuesday. In addition, solid demand for the Treasury’s $69 billion auction of 2-year T-notes was positive for T-notes, as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.64, better than the 10-auction average of 2.61.
Gains in T-notes were limited after the Jun S&P manufacturing PMI unexpectedly expanded at the strongest pace in four years, a hawkish factor for Fed policy. Also, supply pressures are negative for T-notes as the Treasury will auction $211 billion of T-notes and floating-rate notes this week.
European government bond yields moved lower on Tuesday. The 10-year German bund yield dropped to a 2.5-month low of 2.904% and finished down -3.3 bp to 2.919%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell -5.4 bp to 4.754%.
The Eurozone Jun S&P manufacturing PMI fell -0.3 to 51.3, weaker than expectations of no change at 51.6. However, the Jun S&P composite PMI rose +1.0 to 49.5, stronger than expectations of 49.2.
Eurozone May new car registrations rose +3.2% y/y to 955,000 units, the fourth consecutive monthly increase.
ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane said ECB Officials face the risk that inflation will hover above their goal "for quite some time."
The UK Jun SP manufacturing PMI fell -0.8 to 53.1, weaker than expectations of 53.5.
Swaps are discounting a 10% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on July 23.
