According to a new court filing, multiple California state offices are actively investigating Amazon (AMZN) over worker safety concerns as the coronavirus continues to rage throughout the U.S. An eighth Amazon employee has died of COVID-19, and the virus has spread quickly through clusters of employees at factory floors and warehouses nationwide where social distancing isn’t enforced. Amazon’s own shipping centers have reported outbreaks, including one in the Pocono Mountains and another in Oregon.
The earnings date for Amazon is July 31, and overwhelming majority of high-profile analysts think the numbers will be as stellar as never before. Amazon’s average EPS estimate is $3.6 versus $5.01 it actually earned last quarter. It’s easy to guess that Amazon will beat that number indeed. However, even the bigger question will be how the tech giant is going to address these mounting allegations about poor safety of its employees. It looks like this time around it’s no longer just curiosity.
