AI Brief

Q2 FY27 earnings call · Aug 27, 2026
Q2 FY27

TL;DR. Best Buy exceeded Q2 expectations, with 4.1% comparable-sales growth, a 4.3% adjusted operating-income rate and adjusted EPS up 15% to $1.47, and raised FY27 comparable-sales guidance to 1.9%-3.0% and adjusted EPS guidance to $6.70-$6.90. The outlook also assumes a 20-basis-point annual adjusted SG&A increase, while computing faces higher ASPs and lower units due to memory-cost inflation.

Bullish
  • + Q2 comparable sales and adjusted EPS exceeded expectations
  • + Adjusted operating-income margin expanded and adjusted EPS grew
  • + Domestic gross-profit margin improved on ads, marketplace and tariff refunds
  • + Domestic comparable sales grew broadly, led by computing, home theater and emerging categories
  • + Domestic TV sales grew by more than 10% year over year
Bearish
  • − International revenue declined
  • − Higher incentive compensation is expected to pressure SG&A
  • − Memory-cost inflation is raising computing ASPs and reducing units
  • − Computing growth is expected to slow in the second half
