Goldman Sachs reinstates coverage on Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) with a Buy rating and $25 price target, suggesting 25% upside. The firm said cost cuts will drive improved profitability.

“Management changes are catalyzing a more realistic approach to pricing; substantial cost cuts; and, the beginnings of a more concerted effort online,” the analyst comments.

Q1 results are unlikely to inspire, however, over time costs are likely to track below Street consensus. Also valuation – which is at the low end over their covered universe – suggests the opportunity for outperformance.
