1511 ET - Amazon.com CEO Andy Jassy has been encouraging the online retailer's third-party sellers to pull forward buying and stockpile inventory, a move he says will help keep prices low as the company looks to navigate new tariff policies. He warns, however, that pre-buying can be done in excess: "If you end up with too much inventory in your fulfillment network, it really slows down your productivity," he says earlier this month on a call with analysts. CFO Brian Olsavsky notes that pre-buying contributed to higher costs during the recent quarter, but says these costs are expected to help keep tariff-related costs down in 2Q. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
