- Best Buy is one of the worst S&P 500 stocks Tuesday after the retailer missed quarterly earnings expectations and slashed its full-year forecast.
Best Buy's stock experienced a significant decline after its fiscal first-quarter earnings report, which showed a 6.5% drop in same-store sales and a 13% decrease in enterprise revenue, both figures underperforming compared to Wall Street expectations.

The company attributed the sales drop to a challenging economic environment, including high inflation and reduced consumer spending on discretionary items. CEO Corie Barry highlighted ongoing efforts to adapt to these conditions through cost-cutting measures and enhancing the company's omnichannel strategy.
