AI commentary
Post-earnings tone is negative on the Q2 miss and lowered outlook, while AI adoption, Retail Media partnerships, and buybacks provide longer-term offsets. Social, options, short-interest, employee, and fresh analyst-revision data are unavailable; takeover reporting remains unconfirmed. This supports a monitoring stance rather than a high-conviction directional thesis.
