Market Focus08-27 19:07

On August 27, Best Buy fell 5.08% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $83.79/share, with turnover of $7.28 million.

On the news front, Best Buy released its fiscal Q2 earnings before the bell, reporting adjusted EPS of $1.47, beating the consensus estimate of $1.38 by 6.52%, and representing a 14.84% year-over-year increase from $1.28. Revenue came in at $9.779 billion, also surpassing the $9.593 billion estimate. Restructuring charges declined sharply from $114 million in the year-ago period to a net credit of $6 million. The company also raised its fiscal 2027 full-year guidance, projecting revenue of $42.3B-$42.8B versus FactSet's $42.08B estimate, and adjusted EPS of $6.70-$6.90 versus the $6.62 consensus.

Despite the beat-and-raise quarter, analysts had previously flagged that Best Buy shares had already rallied approximately 15% since Q1 results, with Q2 outperformance largely priced into the stock. Wedbush noted ahead of the report that risk/reward appeared adequately priced at current levels, maintaining a neutral rating with an $85 target.
