Better Buy: Amazon vs. Best Buy
It's hard to deny the mastery of Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN). The e-tailing bellwether is just one of three U.S. companies commanding a market cap north of $1 trillion, and it has clearly become a bigger part of our lives in this global pandemic.
Pitting Amazon against Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) may seem cruel at first. The consumer electronics superstore chain is an icon of brick-and-mortar retailing. Best Buy has tried to cash in on e-commerce, but won't the high costs of running and staffing an empire of local stores be an expense-saddled albatross around its neck? Isn't Best Buy simply the Circuit City that lived?
The winner may seem obvious at first, but let's take a closer look at two retailing players that have not only survived, but thrived along the way. Let's pit Amazon against Best Buy to see which one is the better stock to buy right now.
