Best Buy shares are up 10% in pre-market trading after the company reported a great quarter.

The electronics retailer reported earnings of $0.32 per share, beating expectations for $0.25.

This was driven by 2.2% comparable store sales growth. Analysts had forecast a 2.0% drop.

"The sales trends we are seeing in our business as we enter the fourth quarter are encouraging from a top-line perspective," CFO Sharon McCollam said.
