Best Buy is known for its laptops and smartphones. Best Buy stock surged nearly 17% Thursday after the electronics chain reported first-quarter operating earnings of $1.28 a share, up from $1.15 a year earlierāhelped by higher margins and a 2% bump in same-store sales. Best Buy, meanwhile, stoked the uncertainty further when it announced in April that CEO Corie Barry would step down Oct. 31, to be replaced by longtime company veteran Jason Bonfig.
