It wasn't so long ago that some investors thought Best Buy's days were numbered.
On Tuesday, company officials' unbridled optimism about the future was on full display at the electronics retailer's annual shareholders meeting.
There were no questions about showrooming, or matching rock bottom prices with online retailers. In fact, competitor "Amazon" never even came up.
"We are confident in our future," Hubert Joly, Best Buy's chief executive of nearly three years, told a room of about 100 shareholders and company officials.
The board on Tuesday solidified Joly's reign over Best Buy by officially adding the title of chairman to his role. The bureaucratic move signified the end of an era of turmoil that led to mass turnover among the company's top leadership a few years ago.
"Hubert and the senior leadership of this company have done a remarkable job in turning this company around," said Hatim Tyabji, the outgoing chairman who is retiring after 17 years on the board.
In the coming year, Joly pointed to various opportunities to expand Best Buy's business: increasing appliance sales, revamping in-home services offered through the Geek Squad and pushing sales around life events such as graduations and weddings.
"We are here to play to win," Joly said. "This is not about playing defense. This is about playing offense."
