“While Amazon’s ultimate intentions and plans have remained close to the vest at this point, we don’t think this is the end of the e-commerce giant’s push into physical retail where it can morph its desires to grow in softlines/hardlines with added scale and, more importantly, tangible supply chain benefits,” the analysts wrote.

Price Action
Amazon was trading marginally higher at $1,252.15.
