Yesterday was Kohl’s biggest gain in the stock’s history

Big-name partnerships, a special task force to target millennial customers, and waves of cost cutting — all efforts to revive the embattled Kohl’s business — seemed to matter little compared to the boost that the stock experienced yesterday from retail traders.

The department store chain posted a record one-day gain on Tuesday, soaring a whopping 38% after a wild day of trading that was briefly halted for volatility by the NYSE.

The last time Kohl’s saw a similar spike (36%) was back in January 2022, when the company was reportedly considering two takeover offers that would have added a premium to the stock price if a deal went through.

Visa reports solid beat on earnings

Visa inched up in after-hours trading, as it reported quarterly numbers that outpaced expectations. The solid, but unspectacular, outperformance — it beat earnings-per-share estimates by a penny — is par for the course for a company that’s developed a reputation as a boring, but consistent, moneymaker seemingly indifferent to economic conditions.

Lucid plans to build a privately owned autonomous car with Nvidia tech

Shares of Lucid vaulted briefly on Tuesday afternoon following the company’s announcement that it will team up with Nvidia to bring Level 4 autonomous driving to its future vehicles.

A still unnamed midsized SUV by Lucid, planned for 2026, will feature lidar and radar provided by Nvidia’s ecosystem. Ultimately, the automaker said it aims to create the “first true eyes-off, hands-off, and mind-off (L4) consumer owned autonomous vehicle.” Level 4 autonomous vehicles, like Waymo’s robotaxis, operate without human intervention.

The Nvidia partnership will also bring new automated features to Lucid’s Gravity SUV, the luxury EV maker said. Its shares rose more than 6% before losing all those gains and dipping into the red.

Lucid and Nvidia’s announcements came along with a host of other new partnerships at the chip designer’s GPU Technology Conference in Washington, DC.
