Separately, the company disclosed an expanded advertising partnership with Amazon Fire TV, aimed at building a higher-margin advertising platform. The stock also drew notice after shedding 4.2% in a session that underperformed peers, even as coverage of its 4.2% dividend yield and a $5 million computer donation to hurricane-affected schools circulated alongside momentum-stock commentary.
