• Negative Sentiment: Legal and regulatory overhangs: Amazon is contesting an Italian antitrust fine and is involved in court fights related to Saks Global’s bankruptcy (Amazon had an equity stake) — these create headline risk and potential cash/branding exposure. Article Title Article Title
• Negative Sentiment: Analyst/market reactions: Some firms are trimming price targets or flagging risks (e.g., Cantor Fitzgerald cut its PT), contributing to today’s pullback despite the positive operational news. Article Title
