Rhea AI BBY FY2026 2026-08-15

A mature retailer is turning stabilized sales into cash while preserving merchandise margins, but a thinner operating layer limits earnings recovery.

Sales remain well below FY2022’s $51.8B, while FY2026 gross margin stayed near 22.5%; this points to pressure below gross profit rather than a collapse in merchandise economics. The latest operating margin recovery to 3.3% coincided with $1.3B of free cash flow, so the earnings rebound is cash-backed even though conversion remains below earlier levels.

The current ratio reached 1.1x in FY2026, indicating current assets now cover current liabilities rather than falling slightly short. Cash rose from FY2024’s $1.4B to $1.7B in FY2026 while long-term debt stayed broadly stable, so balance-sheet flexibility improved without relying on major debt reduction.

Capital intensity is contained: $1.3B of free cash flow exceeded $704M of capital expenditures in FY2026. That surplus funded dividends and buybacks without exhausting annual cash generation, while shares outstanding continued to decline.

Financial Health Score 53/100

Scored against operating companies for FY2026. Each of the six dimensions is a percentile rank within that peer group; the overall is their average, with missing dimensions counted as zero out of six. A high score means strong standing among peers, not absolute cross-industry strength. How this score is calculated →

Health score ≠ stock price. This rates the quality of Best Buy Inc's business: profitability, growth, balance sheet strength. It doesn't tell you whether the stock is a good buy at today's price. Not financial advice. Use it alongside valuation analysis and your own research.

Profitability

Best Buy Inc has an operating margin of 3.3%, meaning the company retains $3 of operating profit per $100 of revenue. This results in a moderate score of 55/100, indicating healthy but not exceptional operating efficiency. This is up from 3.0% the prior year.

Growth

Best Buy Inc's revenue grew a modest 0.4% year-over-year to $41.7B. This slow but positive growth earns a score of 25/100.

Leverage

Best Buy Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.39, meaning only $0.39 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 93/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Best Buy Inc's current ratio of 1.11 is below the typical benchmark, resulting in a score of 24/100. This tight liquidity could limit financial flexibility if cash inflows slow.

Cash Flow

Best Buy Inc has a free cash flow margin of 3.0%, earning a moderate score of 39/100. The company generates positive cash flow after capital investments, but with room for improvement.

Returns

Best Buy Inc earns a strong 36.1% return on equity (ROE), meaning it generates $36 of profit for every $100 of shareholders' equity. This efficient capital use earns a returns score of 82/100. This is up from 33.0% the prior year.

1.84x

For every $1 of reported earnings, Best Buy Inc generates $1.84 in operating cash flow ($2.0B OCF vs $1.1B net income). This indicates profits are well-supported by actual cash generation, not accounting adjustments.
