After posting a new 52-week low of $25.31 early Friday morning, shares of Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) closed the day up nearly 2.6% and added another 0.9% in the after-hours session. Sounds like some traders think the stock was oversold.
Shares closed at $30.13 on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday after the markets closed Best Buy reported that U.S. same-store sales fell 1.4% during the holiday season. The company also noted that it anticipates a revenue decline of 4%, a decline in operating income, and a one to three cent decline in year-over-year adjusted diluted earnings per share. Shares took a two-day, 16% plunge to the new low.
