Profile
Sells consumer electronics, computers, mobile phones, appliances, and gaming products through U.S. and Canadian stores, e-commerce, and Geek Squad services. Most revenue comes from the U.S.; memberships, advertising, marketplace commissions, and health-related services supplement merchandise sales.
Sells computers, mobile phones, consumer electronics, appliances, and gaming products through an omnichannel network spanning the United States and Canada. Large-format stores support product demonstrations, pickup, delivery, and ship-from-store fulfillment, while Geek Squad extends sales into installation, repair, setup, and technical support.
Most revenue comes from the U.S., with Canada forming the International segment. Additional revenue comes from My Best Buy memberships, Best Buy Ads, Marketplace commissions, and health-related services under brands including Lively. A curated assortment and vendor store-within-a-store formats pair online convenience with in-person advice. Merchandise access is concentrated among a small group of major technology suppliers, and demand depends on discretionary device upgrade and replacement cycles.

Ownership
A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.
