Best Buy: Near-Term Share Price To Be Pressured By Tariff Uncertainty
Summary I maintain a hold rating for Best Buy due to uncertainty around tariffs and poor consumer spending, despite signs of recovery in 4Q24. Positive comp growth after 13 quarters and strong demand in computing and tablets indicate potential upside, especially with the Windows 10 upgrade cycle. Tariff concerns, with 60% of BBY’s cost of goods sold from China, pose a significant risk to near-term earnings and market sentiment. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Feb 28

Best Buy has continued to lose market share to ecommerce competition, combining with consumer weakness and major tariff uncertainty. The risks aren't completely reflected in BBY stock's valuation. I estimate -26% downside to a fair value of $65.9. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 31
