Kohl's shares surge over 100% amid social media fueled frenzy. Here's all you need to know
American retail chain company Kohl's Corp. shares more than doubled on Tuesday, making it the latest meme stock, as retail traders on social media heavily mentioned it. Advertisement Shares of the retailer surged as much as 105% during early trading, marking the largest one-day increase on record and returning the stock to levels last seen nearly a year ago. The stock was briefly halted due to volatility after trimming its gains and was approximately 27 per cent higher at 9:52 a.m. in New York, according to a report by Bloomberg News. Also Read | Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend two shares to buy tomorrow 'It's all social media chatter. Remember that a highlight of the meme stock era was a dose of nostalgia for companies like GameStop and AMC,' Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers told Bloomberg. 'Social media chatter can become self-fulfilling," he added. Short interest, which is the amount of shares borrowed to short, accounts for approximately 48 per cent of Kohl's float, the report said citing data from S3 Partners LLC. This figure way above than the levels reported by companies such as Apple Inc. and Tesla Inc., which have less than 3 per cent of their float borrowed to short. GameStop Corp, a prominent entity of the meme stock era, has about 20% short interest. Advertisement Kohl's stock rose steadily from an early April low, mainly due to US President Donald Trump's escalation of tariffs on Liberation Day, gaining more than 60 per cent by yesterday's close. However, shares were still over 25 per cent lower through Monday as the retailer faced a sales decline and dealt with the repercussions of firing its chief executive officer, Ashley Buchanan, just months after he took the role.

Stocks to buy under ₹100: Experts recommend two shares to buy tomorrow — 23 July 2025
Stocks to buy under ₹100: The Nifty 50 and Sensex fluctuated between gains and losses throughout Tuesday's session on July 22, as investors adopted a cautious stance. With no strong directional cues, the benchmark indices paused for breath, while notable movement was seen in individual stocks. The Nifty ended the day down 29 points, or 0.12%, at 25,060.90. Market participants remained focused on developments related to the India-US trade agreement. Advertisement All sectoral indices closed in the red, with IT, auto, PSU banks, pharma, media, and realty falling between 0.4% and 2%. Broader markets also witnessed weakness — the Nifty Midcap 100 declined by 0.6%, while the Nifty Smallcap index performed slightly better, slipping 0.3%. Meanwhile, market fear and volatility continued to ease, as reflected in a 3.5% drop in the India VIX to 10.75. Stock market today On the Indian stock market's outlook today, Siddhartha Khemka, Head of Research — Wealth Management at Motilal Oswal, said, "Investors now await commentary from Fed Chair Powell later tonight for clues on the US rate trajectory. On the earnings front, key results scheduled for Wednesday include Infosys, SRF, Tata Consumer, Persistent Systems, Oracle, and Coforge. Markets will likely stay range-bound in the near term, focusing on ongoing corporate earnings." Advertisement Speaking on the outlook of the Nifty 50 today, Nagaraj Shetti, Senior Technical Research Analyst at HDFC Securities, said, "The underlying trend of the Nifty 50 index continues to be weak amidst choppy movement. Having been rejected by the hurdle of 25200, the chances of Nifty sliding below 24900 are likely in the coming session. In such an event, the downside target could open around 24500 for the coming weeks, with immediate resistance at 25,200." Asked about the outlook of the Bank Nifty today, Shiju Kuthupalakkal, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Prabhudas Lilladher, said, "The Bank Nifty index, after opening on a positive note, fizzled out resisting near the 57,200 zone and with profit booking seen witnessed a gradual slide to end near the 56,700 zone with bias maintained intact, having the strong support near the 56,000 level, which has been sustained as of now. On the upside, the index would need to breach above the resistance zone of 57,600 level, as we have been mentioning, and thereafter, can expect fresh higher targets of 58,500 and 60,000 levels in the coming days."
