Best Buy
Best Buy ( BBY ) has posted strong returns on equity over the past decade. Its 10-year average return on equity (ROE) is 23.1%, and it hasn’t had an annual ROE less than 20% in any year in that period. That’s a sign of strong management and a durable competitive advantage over its competition. With a market cap of $18.1 billion it sells everything from refrigerators to DVD players to computers to office furniture. With consumers’ need for the latest technology not ending anytime soon, this company has great growth potential. In an effort to increase its annual sales to $80 <><>< /><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><>< /><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< />< /><><><><><><><><><><><>< />...

With Best Buy's bond ratings being lowered recently, this will have a short term impact on their ability to borrow, increasing borrowing costs during the holiday season and perhaps beyond. Even though Circuit City has filed for banruptcy protection, Best Buy will have a very tough time with holiday sales this season. The consumer is out of money and has not easy access to cheap credit anymore. These factors cause me to have a bearish outlook on Best Buy for the next several quarters. They will most likely survive, but it won't be pretty from a stock perspective.

<> I am recommending the sell of the retailing sector. Why? The reason is simple, no one is buying anything right now. When was the last time you heard of a friend, neighbor, or colleague bought a new car? I tell you that it is obvious all over America (if not the world) put discretionary spending on perma hold a couple of weeks ago. You can rest assured that there isn't a retailer in America (even Walmart) that will have a great quarter. <> Ever since Bush went on prime time consequences..... the retail market has come to a screeching halt that is only slightly less frozen than the cr...

As many of you guys aware, BestBuy is the dominating player among retailers (Circuity City, Frys, and Richard & Sons). I believe that it was able to support its market share from two major value drivers which are very obvious - quality control and customer service. <> Quality control - In this segment, the company is evaluated by i) quality of product, ii) delivery time of product. Since BestBuy doesn't make a product in-house, the delivery time is evaluted when there is any 'returned item', i.e. how long does it take to provide a replacement for the customer who are having an issue. <><><><><><>...

Best Buy partners with CinemaNow to challenge Netflix
Filed under: Launches, Competitive strategy, Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), Best Buy (BBY)  Best Buy Inc. (NYSE: BBY) has become a leader in DVD sales in the last half-decade, but the largest consumer electronics retailer in the U.S. may see that the future of the movie rental business is in downloading -- not discs.

Social media at work: not just a yes/no question any more
Filed under: Internet, Starbucks (SBUX), Best Buy (BBY), Media World, Technology  Company attitudes toward social media sites vary. Some swing the doors wide open, allowing employees to tend to their Facebook farms and update Twitter statuses throughout the day. Others lock 'em down, keeping non-business site access to a minimum.
<>A recent study found that, in the United States, 77% of employees with Facebook accounts check in with the community from the office. And, the amount of time they're spending in this part of the online world is growing. In the United Kingdom, another study found that...

Best Buy follows Amazon into the clouds

(NFLX), Blockbuster Inc 'A' (BBI), Best Buy (BBY), Media World, Technology  Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) may be the world's largest electronics retailer, but it realizes that it faces a huge threat to a hefty chunk of its business. Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is moving plenty of movies and other soon-to-be former DVD fare through iTunes, staking a claim on a business that once belonged to Best Buy. The big box store is getting ready to fight back (finally?).
