Best Buy Co Inc shares fell 4.5% on Thursday despite raising its full-year forecasts, as investors booked profits following a 30% rally this year. The drop came even as the top United States electronics retailer posted second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.47, beating analyst estimates of $1.38. Investors looked past temporary tariff refunds and focused on slowing demand for large appliances and higher component costs.
