RESEARCH ALERT-ABN AMRO raises Borders

CHICAGO, Jan 7 (Reuters) - ABN AMRO said Thursday it has upgraded bookstore operator Borders Group Inc., saying the stock's weakness a day after issuing an earnings warning is a buying opportunity.

-- ABN AMRO said the warning, in which the company said it expects to report full-year earnings of $1.14 to $1.18 a share, or about 4 to 7 percent below analysts estimates, was not as bad as it looks.

-- Borders blamed weather and an increase in gift certificate sales, which are not booked until the certificates are redeemed, as reasons for the earnings shortfall.

-- Shares of Borders were down 6-6/16 at 18-11/16 Thursday and were the second most actively traded on the New York Stock Exchange, with 4.6 million shares changing hands.
