Frequently asked questions
Is BBY growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, Best Buy's revenue has declined 2.5% per year, and net income declined 9.9% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does BBY have?
As of FY2026, Best Buy reported — of total debt against $1.7B of cash; operating income covered interest expense 30×.
What is BBY's profit margin?
In FY2026, gross margin was 22.5%, operating margin 3.3%, and net margin 2.6%.
What is BBY's P/E ratio?
Best Buy's P/E (TTM) is 15.85 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the BBY stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 18.9× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
