AI CONVICTION THESIS

Best Buy generates solid cash flow and pays a well-covered dividend, with strong momentum on hopes of a consumer-electronics replacement cycle, but comparable sales have been in multi-year decline and our feed records insider selling of 0.90% of shares outstanding. Imported electronics also sit directly in the tariff path. Nothing adverse is known on accounting or governance, so the default applies.
