About BEST BUY CO INC

Best Buy Co., Inc. is a U.S.-based specialty retailer listed on the NYSE under the ticker BBY, in the United States. For international investors, it is one of the best-known North American omnichannel distributors of consumer technology, offering a broad assortment of electronics, appliances, computing devices, mobile phones, entertainment products and related services. Founded in 1966, the company is headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota, and operates more than 1,000 retail stores across North America, primarily in the United States and Canada. Best Buy reported approximately 82,000 employees and $41.7 billion in revenue in fiscal 2026. ([investors.bestbuy.com](https://www.investors.bestbuy.com/)) Best Buy’s operating model is centered on two reportable segments: Domestic and International. Its core proposition combines physical stores, e-commerce, in-store expertise and technical services. The company sells consumer electronics, computing products, gaming hardware and software, smart home devices, audio equipment, connected appliances and services tied to installation, setup, repair and support. Best Buy is also widely associated with Geek Squad, its service brand for technical support and repairs, which helps deepen customer relationships and increase recurring revenue opportunities beyond hardware sales. In addition, the company highlights repair, trade-in and recycling programs as part of its circular-economy strategy. ([investors.bestbuy.com](https://www.investors.bestbuy.com/)) Historically, Best Buy built its leadership position through a large-format specialty retail model and later evolved into an omnichannel technology retailer. Its competitive advantages include brand recognition, category breadth, supply-chain scale, service capabilities and the ability to integrate digital and store-based customer journeys. The company competes in a highly fragmented environment against online marketplaces, mass merchants, direct-to-consumer brands, telecom operators and other electronics retailers, yet it continues to hold a meaningful position in high-touch technology categories where advice, installation and after-sales service matter.

Best Buy has scaled its U.S. digital Marketplace and expanded Best Buy Ads, which management has described as important incremental profit streams. In its latest annual commentary, management said overall market share was at least flat even as consumer demand softened during the holiday quarter. The company also increased its quarterly dividend and provided FY27 guidance. At the same time, Best Buy launched restructuring actions in FY26, including labor and store optimization measures and a restructuring initiative within Best Buy Health.

Its performance remains closely linked to U.S. consumer spending, product cycles and competitive intensity, but the company’s omnichannel footprint and service model provide a differentiated position in the market.
