In this project, you will complete a comparative analysis of two publicly traded domestic firms within the same industry. You will select two companies that meet the identified criteria. Before you begin to write the paper, please tell me what the two firms are and we must follow the requirement to finish. Thanks.

You have to be a little careful when you get into the mega-companies because they start to cross over various industries.
