Retailers' earnings reports over the past two weeks have illustrated a sharp divide between brands that are winning sales and those that are missing out. Target, Kohl's and Best Buy each reported disappointing results, but Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods and Abercrombie & Fitch posted strong sales in their most recent quarters.

As retailers enter the holiday shopping season, the winners are pulling away from the pack

Best Buy's Q3 results missed revenue and EPS targets, with comparable sales growth at -2.9% and disappointing Q4 guidance, leading to a 7% decline Tuesday morning. The challenging macroeconomic environment, election distractions, and uncompetitive business model against Walmart and Amazon are significant headwinds for Best Buy. I remain bearish on BBY, expecting continued sales decline, potential dividend cuts, and store closures due to weak consumer demand and macroeconomic pressures.

Best Buy: Q3 Disappointment As Macro Headwinds Overcome Cost-Cutting Efforts

Best Buy's Q3 results show a decline in sales, with a -3.2% y/y revenue drop and weaker-than-expected comparable sales, signaling near-term weakness. E-commerce pressure, declining same-store sales, and an unsustainable dividend raise concerns about Best Buy's long-term viability and profitability. Best Buy's heavy promotional spending to drive sales may cut into margins, especially with a more deal-oriented consumer base.
