Here’s whether Best Buy Company, Inc. (BBY) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 62 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +10.2%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-0.81% over 10 days). Currently 22.7% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
BBY is trading below its 200-day MA ($70.86) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 62.4 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +10.2% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 24.9%). The current 22.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
