Borders Group vs. Barnes & Noble?


Borders Group (BGP) vs. Barnes & Noble (BKS)

I have been watching BKS and BGP for about a month for an assignment.

BGP has been struggling lately, compared to BKS.
Why do you think that is, considering that they are both very similar retail/book stores?
I know Amazon has taken part of that market and it is growing.

Barnes and Noble may have performed better, but the stock appears fairly over-valued compared to its EPS projections and growth rate estimates:

Borders likewise appears over-valued; I would avoid both stocks at these levels:

Starbucks, in my opinion :)
