Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY)

 

 

Best Buy News & Technicals

Best Buy took a hit on Thursday morning before the market opened as reports came out of weak holiday sales, pushing shares down more than 7% premarket. According to reports, “the electronics retailer now expects domestic sales to decline 1.5%, compared with previous guidance for flat sales, because of softer consumer demand in mobile phones and greater-than-expected declines in other consumer electronics.” (MarketWatch) Shares are looking to open around the mid $26 range on above normal volume in the premarket. We should see some support come in at the $25 and $26 levels while resistance will be met at the $27 and $28.32 levels. This could be a good trader today as it’s in play but will have to see how it behaves around key pivot points.
