ETFs With Best Buy $BBY Exposure
Best Buy $BBY is one of the top performing stocks in the S&P 500. The electronics retailer is up 20% over the last month.
That’s amazing considering the amount of pain the company has endured over the last decade. The big box store essentially became a showroom for online retailers like Amazon $AMZN.
I’m sure you’ve done this before…
You’re in the market for a new television or some sort of electronic device. So, you go to Best Buy so you see, touch, and, hear it in person. Then you go to the internet to find the best price after you’ve decided which one you want to buy.
I know I’ve done it before!
BBY has combated the phenomenon called ‘showrooming’ by seamlessly blending their brick and mortar stores with their online shopping experience.
Today you can order online from BBY and pick in store the same day. They price match online offers. And they’ve also been helped by the introduction of state sales taxes to online purchases.
These changes, along with strict cost controls, have helped BBY compete with online retailers. Now sales are growing and they’ve returned to profitability.
In fact, Best Buy reported 49 cents per share of earnings on $8.5 billion of revenue last quarter. That’s 17% year-over-year earnings growth and 1% sales growth.
As a result, BBY is enjoying a nice uptick even while the S&P 500 has fallen more than 3% over the last month.
Needless to say, Best Buy is on the right track. And you can use an ETF to own Best Buy and other stocks that share important characteristics with it.
