Read MoreHide Full Article
For the quarter ended April 2023, Best Buy (BBY - Free Report) reported revenue of $9.47 billion, down 11.1% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $1.15, compared to $1.57 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of -0.58% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.52 billion. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.12, the EPS surprise was +2.68%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
