The 17% drop still left half this years gain in value.

While the organized theft aspect of the report is telling, I don’t think the news is specifically bad for Best Buy. I can see their response tending more to closing of stores where data shows more of the organized theft is occurring. That will help profit margins even if revenue drops due to those store closings.

BB like the defunct Circuit City makes a lot of it’s money selling product warranties, Circuit Cities warranties generated about 90% of it’s profit at one time. So if it’s going out the door they ain’t selling no warranties.

Another nail on the coffins of the CA retailers.....and in urban retailers elsewhere as well.

It had to be organized. I mean, do you know how hard it was to smuggle that 64” OLED out?

We are all going to pay for this.

This is just another Democrat politician giveaway and the rest of us get to pay for it.

The Best Buy closest to me down in Albuquerque always has a cop car out front. Always. Not responding, but as a deterrent. I guess they pay extra for that, but who knows?

I have a feeling that Amazon and other internet sellers had something to do with it.

I thought the looting was in response to Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted.

Best Buy is somewhat woke so they’ll take this for the team no?

23.5% gross margins. Pretty thin in general. No wonder Best Buy clerks push extended warranty contracts for virtually anything you buy.

“Would you like an extended warranty on your USB-C cable?”

“Uh, no thanks. The warranty will cost more than the cable.”
