<p>U.S. President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> is preparing to slap tariffs on America&#8217;s largest trading partners despite rising signs of an increasingly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/44030960/americans-now-expect-4-3-inflation-an-alarming-jump-in-just-3-months">less stable economy</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Trump has announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, as well as 20% tariffs on China, beginning Tuesday, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/economy/tariff-choas-threatens-risky-economy/index.html">CNN</a>. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, consumer confidence has taken a turn, some GDP forecasts have gone negative and consumer spending <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/02/43736972/us-retail-sales-fall-more-than-expected-raise-growth-concerns">unexpectedly declined in January</a>, raising concerns about the economic growth trajectory. Inflation has also proved to be sticky with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43667632/inflation-rises-in-january-housing-costs-up-adding-to-consumers-2025-concerns">Consumer Price Index&nbsp;data</a> from January showing a 3% increase, above economist forecasts.</p>
<p>Tariffs could put further pressure on CPI measures as tariffs tend to increase costs. Canada, Mexico and China have also said they would retaliate with tariffs of their own, which creates the possibility for a trade war. If inflation remains elevated above the Federal Reserve&#8217;s 2% goal, rates could remain high for longer than expected.</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/02/scott-bessent-says-trump-tariffs-wont-cause-inflation-to-increase.html">CNBC</a>, Treasury Secretary <strong>Scott Bessent</strong>&nbsp;on Sunday said Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs are not likely to put further pressure on inflation. Bessent indicated that China will &#8220;eat any tariffs that go on.&#8221;</p>
<p>"China will pay for the tariffs because their business model is exporting their way out of this inflation,&#8221; the Treasury Secretary reportedly said in an interview.</p>
<p>St. Louis Federal Reserve President <strong>Alberto Musalem</strong>&nbsp;also <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/inflation-will-move-toward-2percent-target-but-risks-to-outlook-are-rising-says-feds-musalem.html">said</a> that near-term inflation expectations have &#8220;risen substantially&#8221; over the past few weeks during a keynote address at the National Association for Business Economics conference on Monday. </p>
<p>Although the risks appear to be more skewed to the upside, Muslim&#8217;s baseline case is for &#8220;continued disinflation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Fed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43316048/fed-holds-interest-rates-steady-halts-streak-of-consecutive-cuts-as-inflation-remains-elevated">kept rates steady</a> in January following three consecutive rate cuts that began in September. The federal funds rate currently sits at a target range of 4.25% to 4.5%. The next meeting is slated for later this month.</p>
<p>The implied probability that the Fed will keep rates unchanged again is currently at 93%, according to CME Group's <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">FedWatch tool</a>.</p>
<p>The <strong>SPDR S&amp;P 500</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) faces heavy selling pressure Monday. Trump&#8217;s tariffs will go into effect in less than 24 hours. At last check, it was down about 1.89% at $583.10, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.</p>

<p>Retailer <strong>Best Buy Co, Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) could show the growing competition from ecommerce against its physical stores when the company reports fourth-quarter financial results before<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings"> market open Tuesday.</a></p>
<p>Here are the earnings estimates, what analysts are saying ahead of the report and key items to watch.</p>
<p><strong>Earnings Estimates</strong>: Analysts expect Best Buy to report fourth-quarter revenue of $13.70 billion, down from $14.65 billion in last year's fourth quarter according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent030325&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a></p>
<p>The company missed analyst estimates for revenue in the last quarter, while beating estimates in six of the last 10 quarters overall.</p>
<p>Analysts expect Best Buy to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $2.40, down from $2.72 in last year's fourth quarter. The company missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in the last quarter, while beating estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters overall.</p>
<p><strong>Read Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44076199/how-to-earn-500-a-month-from-best-buy-stock-ahead-of-q4-earnings">How To Earn $500 A Month From Best Buy Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>What Analysts Are Saying:</strong> Truist analyst Scot Ciccarelli predicts Best Buy&#8217;s quarterly sales will likely be in line with or down from estimates.</p>
<p>"Sales surged around Christmas and then faded hard in January," Ciccarelli said data predicts.</p>
<p>The analyst, who has a Hold rating and $95 price target, said Best Buy's first quarter is currently trailing expectations.</p>
<p>Ciccarelli said Best Buy's Enterprise division could see gross margin expansion in the quarter driven by Services and membership profitability.</p>
<p>"While comps are generally expected to turn + in 25 given multiple years of easy comparisons and the natural replacement cycle of CE goods, we suspect the company will remain cautious in its outlook given what appears to be a soft start in 1Q," Ciccarelli said.</p>
<p>The analyst said consumers are demanding value and shying away from big-ticket purchases.</p>
<p>"We believe that current trends and historical valuation likely limit significant incremental appreciation in the stock, unless there is a substantial upward revision in earnings."</p>
<p>Wedbush analyst Seth Basham said Best Buy should report a "solid quarter," but worries about the company's guidance.</p>
<p>"We expect a good quarter on the back of a favorable holiday shopping season and conservative guidance, but we expect soft 2025 guidance given macro uncertainties and high exposure to tariffs," Basham said.</p>
<p>The analyst, who has a Neutral rating and $90 price target, said Best Buy's first quarter is off to a mixed start, which could be bad during a current consumer electronics replacement and innovation cycle.</p>
<p>"FY 25 outlook likely below consensus given macro uncertainties and tariffs."</p>
<p>The analyst said tariffs and "political uncertainties" will weigh on consumers and could impact spending.</p>
<p>"Tariffs present downside risk."</p>
<p><strong>Key Items to Watch:</strong> A Placer.ai <a href="https://www.placer.ai/blog/best-buy-fully-charged-for-2025">report </a>showed Best Buy foot traffic down 7% year-over-year in 2024. While analysts cite a soft start to the first quarter, Placer.ai shows a comeback in traffic starting in early 2025, with January visits up 0.4% year-over-year.</p>
<p>Black Friday and the holiday shopping season will likely be a big theme for Best Buy's results and commentary. The Placera.ai report showed Best Buy's visits up 473.1% on Black Friday compared to the company's daily average.</p>
<p>An Adobe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42265010/amazon-and-walmart-dominate-black-friday-as-online-sales-soar-146">holiday shopping report</a> showed Best Buy having flat Black Friday sales on a year-over-year basis, citing losing market share to ecommerce players and a continued shift away from physical retail sales on the annual shopping holiday.</p>
<p>Investors and analysts will be looking for commentary on market share and how the company is positioning itself against the growth of ecommerce.</p>
<p>The company's guidance and commentary on tariffs will likely be the biggest factor in whether the stock trades up or down after the quarterly results.</p>
<p><strong>BBY Price Action:</strong> Best Buy stock is down 3.6% to $86.65 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $69.29 to $103.71. Best Buy stock is up 2.7% year-to-date in 2025 and up 14.2% over the last year.</p>

Smart Money Is Betting Big In CSCO Options

<p>A Reddit user thought they were getting a simple paint job and new flooring. Instead, they walked into a nightmare—a completely gutted kitchen. Now, the internet is debating whether the contractors made an honest mistake or pulled a scam.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Shocking Surprise</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41613347/how-much-house-is-too-much">homeowner</a> shared their story on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1iyapcg/a_work_crew_ripped_out_my_entire_kitchen_they/">r/mildlyinfuriating</a>, explaining that they hired a contractor to paint their home and install new floors. During conversations, they also asked about countertop replacements and a potential tornado shelter in the garage. &#8220;The next day, I receive a quote for $22,000 to replace all of the cabinets in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms. I wasn't sure why because we had only discussed doing the countertops.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>

<li><strong>Many don&#8217;t know there are tax benefits when buying a unit as an investment —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/casa-shares-y2"><strong> Here&#8217;s how to invest in real estate by mirroring BlackRock's big move</strong></a></strong></li>
<li><strong>Coinbase&#8217;s latest promo gets you up to $200 in crypto (Seriously!) — <a href="http://coinbase-consumer.sjv.io/m5ALXy"><strong>Here's everything you need to know to take advantage of this offer.</strong></a></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>They continued, &#8220;This was supposed to be the final week on the job. Instead, I get a text saying that they finished the demo on the kitchen.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Was It A Miscommunication Or A Scam?</h2>
<p>Reddit users quickly jumped into the debate. Some believed the contractor was intentionally trying to squeeze more money out of OP.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are trying to extort you,&#8221; one user bluntly stated. Another agreed, saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t feel like this is a mistake. I feel like this was intentional, forcing the buyer to pay more than they wanted.&#8221;</p>
<p>Others thought it could have been an address mix-up or a simple misunderstanding. &#8220;Option 3 is that the crew got their signals crossed and ripped out OP&#8217;s kitchen one day and repainted someone else&#8217;s kitchen the next day,&#8221; a commenter suggested.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where&#8217;s The Contract?</h2>
<p>Many Redditors questioned whether OP had a signed contract outlining the work.</p>
<p>&#8220;Please tell me you have a written contract and that these people are licensed, bonded, and insured,&#8221; one user pleaded. Others were skeptical about OP's lack of response to this key question.</p>
<p>&#8220;No clue why I had to scroll so far to see this. OP saw something confusing in the contractor's quote and thought: ‘Ah, whatever, they won't replace the cabinets because we didn't talk about it.' What the f&#x2A;&#x2A;k?&#8221; another wrote.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Mold Discovery</h2>
<p>Some users noticed a silver lining—<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42625966/recognizing-the-warning-signs-of-mold-growth-in-homes">black mold</a> where the cabinets once stood.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dude, there is mold EVERYWHERE where those cabinets were. That HAS to be remediated,&#8221; one user pointed out. Another joked, &#8220;At least you can tackle the mold issues now.&#8221;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is The Story Even Real?</h2>
<p>Not everyone believed OP's story. Some suggested the before-and-after photos were reversed, and others pointed out inconsistencies in OP's post history.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fake. Check OP's post history from 31 days ago with a picture of a burnt pizza on the countertop. Entirely different kitchen. Nice try, though,&#8221; one skeptical user wrote.</p>
<p>Regardless of whether the incident was real, fake, or a tragic case of poor communication, most people agreed on one thing: &#8220;This isn't mildly infuriating, this is blood-boiling.&#8221;</p>
