Page 2 of 2

Still, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (NASDAQ:BBBY) has a strong management team that won’t cave in to Amazon without a fight. The acquisition of Cost Plus last year helped bolster its presence in the home-furnishings market, but Bed Bath & Beyond has also recognized the need to follow some of its retailing peers in coming up with a better online strategy of its own to counter competitors’ efforts to steal its business.

In its quarterly report, watch for Bed Bath & Beyond to give details on how it plans to fight Amazon in the online area. Also, if Bed Bath & Beyond finally starts paying a dividend as some expect, it could give investors another reason to get excited about the stock going forward.
