Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value were as follows ($ in millions):

(1)Balance sheet location is determined by the length to maturity at date of purchase and whether the assets are restricted for particular use.
(2)Valued at quoted market prices in active markets at period end.
(3)Valued at face value plus accrued interest at period end, which approximates fair value.
(4)Valued using the performance of mutual funds that trade with sufficient frequency and volume to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.
(5)Valued using readily observable market inputs. These instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded on an active market. See Note 5, Derivative Instruments, for additional information.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In fiscal 2026, we recorded asset impairments and other costs as a result of restructuring initiatives that commenced in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2026. Refer to Note 2, Restructuring, for additional information.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded goodwill and definite-lived intangible asset impairments related to Best Buy Health. Refer to Note 3, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, for additional information. In addition, we recorded $21 million of long-lived asset impairments related to Best Buy Health, included in SG&A on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The remaining carrying value of net long-lived assets subject to impairment approximates fair value and was immaterial as of January 31, 2026.

All nonrecurring fair value remeasurements mentioned above were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash, certain restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for other investments held at cost are not readily available, but we estimate that the carrying values for these investments approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt is presented at carrying value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If our long-term debt were recorded at fair value, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt balances were as follows ($ in millions):
