BUZZ-Street View: Best Buy can weather tariff impact

** Best Buy BBY.N forecast annual comparable sales and profit largely below expectations on Tuesday and warned of possibility of higher prices due to President Donald Trump's tariffs, following a Q4 results beat

** Shares fell 13.3% on Tuesday

** At least ten brokerages cut PT on stock after the forecast

NAVIGATING A CHOPPY ENVIRONMENT

** Wedbush ("neutral", PT: $83) sees positive developments for co, but says overhang from tariff exposure creates an unattractive near-term risk-reward ratio

** J.P.Morgan ("overweight", PT: $110), however, says risk-reward ratio is good, based on product replacement cycle and gaming looking better in second half of 2025

** Telsey Advisory Group ("outperform", PT: $100) says co could manage costs and leverage leadership within consumer electronics; expects a return to growth in 2025 and growth acceleration in 2026

** Piper Sandler ("overweight", PT: $92) says lack of product innovation in TVs and appliances lower sales and market share potential, but expects improved housing demand over the next two years to drive sales
