Best Buy Co., Inc. (BBY) Q2 FY2027 — The stock fell 4.4% on the print even though it beat and raised guidance — and every analyst who covered it raised their price target anyway. Best Buy beat its adjusted EPS bar and raised full-year guidance, but a $34 million Supreme Court tariff refund accounts for most of the earnings beat and the margin expansion — strip it out and the quarter missed. THE CA...
