On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Cannabis stocks like Tilray (TLRY) and Canopy (CGC) fell Thursday after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reschedule marijuana as a lower-class drug. Trump's order reclassifies marijuana as a Schedule III drug from Schedule I, but doesn't permit legalized recreational sales. Other Schedule I substances include highly addictive drugs with no accepted medical use, such as heroin, while Schedule III substances are considered to have lower potential for abuse.
- Shares of Micron Technology (MU) the largest US maker of computer memory chips, rose by the most in eight months after the company gave an upbeat forecast for the current quarter, signaling that surging demand and supply shortages are allowing the company to charge more for products.
- Shares of Lululemon (LULU) jumped after activist investor Elliott Investment Management has built a stake of more than $1 billion in Lululemon. Elliott has been working with retail executive Jane Nielsen, who is viewed as a potential CEO candidate, as the company searches for a replacement for current CEO Calvin McDonald.
