Best Buy Company IncBBYDON'T BUYOct 10, 2012Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Aug 04, 2026. Market Open.
Has a clean balance sheet, lots of cash, and pays a 4% dividend. Also, a big TV refresh cycle is coming, the first in a decade. BBY is the exclusive seller of next-wave RGB TVs for the first year in the US. The stock is cheap. RGB won't be as big as the OLED TV cycle, but will drive the cycle for 1.5 years.
(Analysts’ price target is $78.75)
The problem that this and all the other big box stores have is that their lunch is being eaten by Amazon (AMZN-Q). The question is, if you are a Best Buy or Future Shop, how can you compete with online services that have no bricks and mortar, salesmen, maintenance, etc.?
