Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Best Buy Company Inc (BBY) is set to report its latest earnings on Thursday amidst challenging market conditions. Recent commentary suggests that the company's share performance has encountered difficulties, particularly due to a stagnant housing market, which affects their business model. However, there's some optimism as the company might benefit from the upcoming wave of PCs that are expected to incorporate advanced AI technologies. This anticipated shift is projected to create a significant PC-refresh cycle, potentially serving as a catalyst for revenue growth going forward. Investors are watching closely to see if these factors can offset the pressures from the housing sector and revitalize Best Buy's stock performance.

COMMENT

It reports Thursday. Shares have been struggling, but Best Buy will benefit if the next wave of PCs integrate AI--this should be the biggest PC-refresh cycle in history. BBY is hurt by a lack of turnover in housing.

BUY

The PC refresh cycle will start in July and will drive BBY higher. Go long on this.

WEAK BUY

It reports Thursday and it may not be that good, but Nvidia's Jensen Huang forecasts a new PC cycle. People buy PCs from BBY. Maybe buy BBY after this quarter.

DON'T BUY

Reports this week. Electronics has been tough this past year, thought he thinks PC sales are bottoming. Despite paying a 5.5% dividend. Expect 1-2 more quarters of soft sales before this turns around.

COMMENT

They've had seven quarters of declining sales. When this reports, will BB get a Target-like market reaction (low expectations, beats, so a strong rally) or will BB get Amazon'd?

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 17/22, Up 0.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with BBY has triggered its stop at $70. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 11%, when combined with our previous recommendations.

DON'T BUY

Made a ton of money during the pandemic. One of the better-run retailers, but can't see how this is a competitive advantage over the long term. Challenging times ahead with e-commerce everywhere, so he'd rather own the WMTs and AMZNs of the world.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 17/22, Up 23.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with BBY has achieved its $86.00 objective. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop-loss (from $62.50) to $70.00.

BUY

She owns little retail. Her expectations for BB were so low, like a decline in same-store sales (10.5% decline this quarter, in fact) vs. expectations of a 13% decline. Better than expects, though it's not great. BB is used to managing their consumer electronics inventory, so BB's margins will be hindered compared to Target and Walmart are not as disciplined in managing their electronics inventory. So, there'll be compression in BB stores from promotional activity. Note: computer revenues this quarter are up 23% from Q4 2019, so consumer demand is still there, not dead. Don't forget the power of seasonal spending--and we're on the cusp of holiday spending. This bdoes well for November and December comps.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate BBY as a TOP PICK. The company has worked hard to streamline inventory systems, expand e-sales, and even leased out floor space to major brands to adjust growing inflationary pressure. It has inventory to supply gaming consoles and other key products heading into the holiday period. The stock trades at 9x earnings compared to peers at 36x. It pays a good dividend (which has grown for 18 consecutive years) and is backed by a payout ratio under 50% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop-loss (from $50.00) to $62.50, looking to achieve $86 - upside over 26%. Yield 4.6% (Analysts’ price target is $86.13)

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Despite doom and gloom with inflation and a slow down in consumer spending, recently reported earnings beat expectations by 15% and boast a ROE of 58%. The company has worked hard to streamline inventory systems, expand e-sales, and even leased out floor space to major brands to adjust. The stock trades at 10x earnings compared to peers at 30x. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We recommend placing a stop loss at $50, looking to achieve $86 - upside over 20%.

TOP PICK

Best Buy is a leading provider of technology products, services and solutions.

Social media mentions are up 1050% in the past 24h.

BUY

AHY: Accidental high-yielding stocks that have fallen so far that their dividends now pay huge. He's gun-shy retail, and BB has plunged from $142 last November to $85 today. Pays a 4.16% yield. Their near-term numbers are less than ideal, but managers have announced positive guidance through more services. Trades at only 8x earnings, maybe the cheapest ever. Shares are so low they are de-risked.

DON'T BUY

It reports Thursday. It got punished last time by reporting smaller margins due to supply shortages. But he expects them to turn it around. They're well run. However, people won't buy big TVs, because they'll be travelling instead. There are better stocks.

BUY

It's all right. Pays a 3% yield. They'll have a good quarter. Some feel that we've bought all the computing equipment we need to work from home, but that's wrong. He's puzzled why shares are below $100. Should be higher. Good balance sheet and great supply chain.
