Amazon.com IncAmazon is facing a new Federal Trade Commission investigation into whether it clearly disclosed advertising terms, fees, and pricing to consumers, with several state attorneys general also involved. The probe could lead to a lawsuit or a settlement, adding to Amazon's regulatory burden as it already faces a broader FTC antitrust case over its online marketplace, with a trial expected in early 2027. For investors, the concern extends beyond potential penalties to the time, legal costs, and uncertainty of another government fight, even as Amazon's core e-commerce, cloud, and advertising businesses remain strong.
