GrubHub woke to the news on Tuesday that Amazon was coming for it. GrubHub investors didn’t seem to like the sound of that.

It took some time for the news to set in, but when it did investors sent GrubHub’s stock down more than 4 percent. The stock rebounded slightly to end the day down a little more than 3 percent. That’s still good for a loss in market cap of more than $65 million. Thanks, Bezos.
