Barnes & Noble Education  (NYSE:BNED) stock is down on Monday as the college and university campuses bookstore company’s shares come off of a spectacular rally on Friday.

Shares of BNED stock underwent a 126.3% rally on Friday that came alongside heavy trading of its shares. With that type of movement, it makes sense that investors are seeing Barnes & Noble Education give up some of its gains from the prior day of trading.

Greenhaven Road Investment Management made an $84.5 million recapitalization offer to Barnes & Noble Education earlier this month. However, that offer was rejected. Even so, it doesn’t look like the firm is giving up on a deal with Barnes & Noble Education just yet.
