NEUTRAL IMPACT
Amazon faces a strike at five distribution centers in Germany on Black Friday, potentially affecting one of the busiest shopping days. However, Amazon claims the strike has low participation and assures on-time deliveries.
While the strike could potentially disrupt operations on a significant sales day, Amazon's statement about low participation and the promise of on-time deliveries suggest a limited impact on the company's performance. The ongoing nature of these disputes indicates that the market may have already partially priced in such events.
