Lululemon's stock rose by 8% after the company reported a 9% increase in sales, driven by strong international growth that offset slowing U.S. sales.

GM's ability to leverage traditional gas powertrain vehicle sales has helped it weather the current EV demand slump, with the highly anticipated Equinox EV set to begin sales in Q2.
