# Best Buy: Competitors & Industry Structure



## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies Best Buy under SIC major group 57. Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 7 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, Best Buy ranks 1 of 8. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Best Buy reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0000764478-26-000009 for fiscal year 2026). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 12, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
