Best Buy cuts full-year sales and profit guidance as tariffs raise cost of electronics
- On May 29, 2025, Best Buy reported weaker quarterly revenue and lowered its full-year sales and profit forecasts due to tariff-related cost pressures in the United States.
- The company faces tariffs including a 30% U.S. duty on Chinese imports and a 25% Mexico duty from the previous administration, affecting its merchandise sourced mainly from China and Mexico.
- Best Buy saw declines in categories such as home theaters, appliances, and drones, while growth in computing, mobile phones, and tablets partially offset losses during the fiscal first quarter ending May 3.
- The retailer posted $8.77 billion in revenue, missing the $8.81 billion estimate, and earnings of $1.15 per share, beating the $1.09 expectation; comparable U.S. sales fell 0.7% year over year.
- Best Buy expects fiscal 2026 revenue between $41.1 billion and $41.9 billion and adjusted earnings per share from $6.15 to $6.30, anticipating tariffs will persist without changing consumer behavior significantly.
