Amazon on the move, Papa John's surges, Walmart up slightly

Let’s check out the Yahoo Finance charts of the day.

Amazon (AMZN): Shares are up in early trade, at around 1%. Noting strong growth prospects, Canaccord Genuity raised Amazon’s price target to $2,000 per share. Among the “FANG” stocks, the firm calls Amazon “the most robust and durable,” although it notes that the “FANG” stocks are trading at a multiple that’s low by historical standards but high compared to the past eight years.

Papa John’s (PZZA): Shares up here around 10.5%. The founder of the pizza restaurant chain, John Schnatter, resigned from his position as a chairman of the board of directors, just hours after he apologized for using a racial slur during a company conference call in May of this year. The company said it plans on replacing him in the coming weeks.

Walmart (WMT): Shares up here, at around .42%. According to a report in Japan’s Nikkei business daily, Walmart has decided to sell Japanese supermarket chain Seiyu and has already approached major retailers and private equity funds.
