Amazon stock climbs after Whole Foods pivot — what AMZN investors watch before Feb. 5
Amazon shares rose 2.6% to $244.69 in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company said it will close its Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh stores, convert some to Whole Foods, and expand same-day grocery delivery. Closures start Feb. 1, with California stores open longer due to regulations. Trading volume reached 37.7 million shares. Perishable grocery sales via same-day delivery have surged 40-fold since January 2025.
