Event summary
Best Buy's fiscal third-quarter earnings report surpassed analyst expectations, with adjusted EPS of $1.40 on revenue of $9.67 billion, leading to a more than 3% jump in shares. The strong performance, driven by computing, gaming, and smartphone sales, prompted the retailer to raise its full-year guidance, suggesting stabilizing consumer tech spending. Despite challenges in appliances, Best Buy anticipates annual revenue to slightly exceed last year's total, potentially ending a three-year streak of declining sales.
