Stocks finished lower Thursday after two apparent suicide bombings in Afghanistan and with investors hoping a Federal Reserve symposium sheds some light on the central bank's plans for tapering stimulus.
Here are some of the big movers in the stock market on Thursday:
1. Coty | Increase 15%
Coty (COTY) – Get Report shares surged as the seller of Burberry and Gucci fragrances and lipstick and Cover Girl makeup missed Wall Street's fourth-quarter earnings expectations. The company beat revenue estimates due in part to surging sales in the U.S. and China.
2. Lordstown Motors | Increase 18%
Shares of Lordstown Motors (RIDE) – Get Report soared the most in 10 months after the electric-car maker named former Icahn Enterprises boss Daniel Ninivaggi as its new CEO. Ninivaggi succeeds Steve Burns, who along with Chief Financial Officer Julio Rodriguez resigned in early July.

In April, Chinese regulators hit Alibaba with a record fine of $2.8 billion. The stock rallied 9.3% that day, in hopes that the worst was behind it. While there hasn’t been a lot of Alibaba-specific issues since, the fear from investors remains as the Chinese government continues to rail against tech in general. It’s impacted Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), JD.com (NASDAQ:JD) and others too.

After spending the first half of 2018 in investors’ good graces, Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) has fallen out of favor yet again. As late as May of last year, China’s internet search leader was clocking all-time highs but had lost more than 40% of its value going into its latest earnings report. What caused this perilous fall from grace? Two quarters of decelerating growth, fears regarding China’s slowing economy, and the ongoing trade conflict between Washington, D.C. and Beijing conspired to knock Baidu back down to size.
