Best Buy key sales figures rises in Dec.

MINNEAPOLIS - January 8, 2010

Sales in stores open at least one year rose 8.2 percent, compared with a 6.5 percent drop a year ago. That includes a 9.3 percent rise domestically and a 3.5 percent increase internationally.

Total sales rose $13 percent to $8.5 billion.

The company says it still expects to earn $3.00 to $3.15 per share this fiscal year. Analysts expect a profit of $3.10 per share.

Sales in stores open at least a year are a key retail measure because they track sales in established locations, instead of newly opened ones.
