What the company does
Best Buy is the largest consumer-electronics retailer in the US and Canada (about 1,000 stores plus online): TVs, laptops, phones, appliances and Geek Squad tech support. Its money comes from product sales.
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

No data
Figures from the company's filings (2026-07-31), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $18.40B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 19.7% of total assets (2026-07-31). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
