Best Buy Still Struggling With Supply Chain Issues
And guess what guys? Like a lot of companies, Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) is also struggling with their gross margin. Last year, it was right around 23.7%, and this year for the quarter reported, it was 22%.
And according to them and a lot of companies, this is mostly due to the supply chain issues going on. And taking a look at the stock, it is up about 3% when I’m filming this video and we can see it’s about to test 80 bucks a share.
If that point is able to break, maybe we will continue to see some upside here on the short term.
