Tesla, Amazon, Costco, Pharvaris, Lululemon: Why These 5 Stocks Are Drawing Investors' Attention Today

Major Wall Street indices closed in the green on Thursday after investors and traders questioned the possibility of continued aggression by the Federal Reserve following the release of jobless claims data. The number of Americans submitting new claims for unemployment benefits grew marginally last week, marking the eighth straight week of flat or higher continuing jobless claims, the longest trend since the 2009 financial crisis. Meanwhile, here are five stocks that are drawing retail investors’ attention:

1. Tesla Inc TSLA: Shares of the EV-maker closed 0.34% lower on Thursday. Tesla is likely to shorten production shifts at its Shanghai factory as early as Monday and has delayed the onboarding of some new hires, reported Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the situation. Meanwhile, Elon Musk will likely announce the company’s China President Tom Zhu Xiaotong as the global CEO, according to a report on Chinese news outlet PingWest.
