Did BBY Beat Earnings? Q2 2027 Results
Yes. Best Buy reported Q2 2027 earnings of $1.47 a share on Aug 27, 2026, beating the $1.36 consensus estimate by 8.2%. Revenue was $9.8B against a $9.6B estimate.
Best Buy posted a convincingly strong second quarter for fiscal 2027, beating Wall Street on both the top and bottom lines and extending its consecutive EPS beat streak to five quarters. Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $1.47, ahead of the $1.36 consensus by 8.15%, while revenue of $9.78 billion topped estimates by 2.29% and grew 3.6% year over year. The primary engine behind the beat was the Domestic segment, where comparable sales rose 4.5%, fueled by strength in computing, home theater, and emerging categories including AI glasses, with online revenue reaching $3.00 billion and representing 33.1% of Domestic sales. Domestic gross profit rate expanded to 24.0% from 23.4%, aided by growth in Best Buy Ads and Marketplace initiatives. Ahead of the print, at least one analyst had flagged positive credit card data as a reason to expect upside, and the results bore that out. Looking ahead, the company raised its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $6.70 to $6.90 and lifted its revenue outlook to $42.30 billion to $42.80 billion.
