The EU is reportedly set to investigate Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in 2025 for favoring its in-house branded products.
What Happened: The EU is preparing a case against Amazon under its Digital Markets Act or DMA, reported Reuters, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The probe will focus on whether Amazon&#8217;s marketplace gives an unfair advantage to its own products over those sold by third-party vendors. If Amazon is found to be in violation of the DMA, it could be hit with a fine amounting to 10% of its global annual turnover.

The decision to launch the investigation will be made by the incoming EU antitrust chief, Teresa Ribera, in the upcoming months.

Why It Matters: The DMA, which was implemented last year, prohibits Amazon and six other big tech firms from favoring their products and services on their platforms.
In January, Amazon&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36688100/amazons-irobot-deal-faces-likely-rejection-from-eu-competition-watchdog-report">$1.7-billion acquisition</a> of iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRBT#NASDAQ">IRBT</a>), was abandoned due to opposition from the EU&#8217;s competition watchdog.
Earlier this week, Amazon and Elon Musk-led SpaceX's efforts to block cases brought by the National Labor Relations Board or NLRB also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42054405/amazon-and-spacexs-efforts-to-block-nlrb-cases-in-jeopardy-as-appeals-court-raises-key-legal-concerns">faced obstacles</a>.
Amazon is contesting a case involving its first union at a warehouse in New York City.
Last month, Amazon reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41664778/amazon-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-q4-guidance-new-kindles-significantly-outperfor">successful third quarter</a> in 2024, with net sales of $158.9 billion, an 11% increase year-over-year, beating the Street consensus estimate of $157.2 billion.
Price Action: Amazon shares closed Thursday&#8217;s session down 2.22% at $198.38. In after-hours trading, the stock dropped further, reaching $198.08 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Plug Power expects full-year 2024 revenue to be in the range of&nbsp;$825 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$925 million versus estimates of $917 million.

Shares of companies within the consumer discretionary sector are trading higher amid overall market strength following softer-than-expected July PPI figures, which could alleviate some inflation concerns and boost consumer sentiment outlook.

iRobot's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRBT#NYSE">IRBT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.87 million shares sold short, which is 23.82% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.71 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for iRobot has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing iRobot's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, iRobot's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.88%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
