BUZZ-Amazon-Whole Foods deal hits dozens of stocks

Reuters - UK Focus

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16 (Reuters) - Amazon.com (NasdaqGS: AMZN - news) 's plan to buy organic

grocer Whole Foods Market (NasdaqGS: WFM - news) in a $13.7 bln deal unveiled on Friday slammed

supermarket operators, shopping-mall REITs, drugstores and payment processors.

Investors fearing Amazon will do to the retail food industry what it did to

book stores sold the shares of dozens of related companies, vaporizing at least

$34 billion in market capitalization, which is more than the total value of

Target.

Whole Foods and Amazon increased their combined stock market value by $14

billion.

The table below shows part of Friday's stock-market fallout.
