Jharonne Martis, Director of Consumer Research at LSEG, comments: “Best Buy Co Inc (NYSE:BBY) beat its Q2 earnings, revenue, and same store sales results. After a strong pandemic sales streak, revenue has come down from its high.

The retailer said, “Our industry continues to experience lower consumer demand due to the pandemic pull forward of tech purchases and the shift back into services spend outside the home, like travel and entertainment.” (Source: BBY Q2 2024 Earnings Call)

The electronics retailer knew it would be a challenging year, and consequently is narrowing its outlook, like many other retailers.”
