Bath & Body Works (NYSE:BBWI) stock rose 9.8% after the specialty retailer beat first quarter profit expectations, as higher product prices outweighed cost pressures and a slowdown in demand.

Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) ADRs fell 1.1% after the Chinese e-commerce giant posted a rise of 2% in fourth quarter revenue, weaker than expected as the country’s consumer spending growth remains relatively muted.

Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) stock fell 3.9% after the tech company said a large backlog of products due to supply chain constraints has hit demand for new orders from customers.

Take-Two (NASDAQ:TTWO) stock soared 12% after the video game publisher beat quarterly sales estimates on strong demand from legacy titles "NBA 2K" and "Grand Theft Auto."

Canada Goose (NYSE:GOOS) stock rose 10% after the luxury winter wear retailer forecast annual sales growth above estimates, expecting a sharp rebound in key luxury market China to overshadow a slowdown in U.S. demand.

Western Alliance (NYSE:WAL) stock rose 2.8% and PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ:PACW) stock climbed 6.9% as investors returned to these battered regional lenders in hope that the worst of the country’s banking turmoil was over.
