Gaining momentum as an Electronic retailer

Wal-Mart will use its large size to push its way further into the consumer electronics market and take away market share and revenue from Best Buy. Discount retailers and wholesale clubs continue to pull market share from the established electronics leaders like Best Buy. Yet another example of the retail spending transformation we've been seeing in ChangeWave surveys all year.

Although Best Buy (BBY) (40%) remains the number one store respondents say they'll shop at over the next 90 days for home entertainment and networking products, it's showing a 3-pt decline from a year ago (Aug 2007).

Going forward, the stores with the most momentum in electronics are Costco (COST) (26%; up 5-pts Year-Over-Year), Amazon (AMZN) (20%; up 5-pts YOY), Wal-Mart (WMT) (17%; up 6-pts YOY) and Sam's Club (10%; up 3-pts YOY).
