On this episode of Stock Movers:- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) shares fell the most in five years after the company’s plan to settle thousands of talc-related lawsuits through bankruptcy was shot down in court. The ruling means J&J will have to fight roughly 60,000 claims brought by women who say the company’s hallmark baby powder caused ovarian cancer and other, similar gynecological diseases in courts across the country. It may also have to set aside far more than the $9 billion it had earmarked for victims. J&J’s shares dropped as much as 5.6% in New York today, marking the biggest intraday loss since March 2020.-PVH Corp (PVH) shares climbed in their biggest intraday advance in two years after the owner of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands gave a guidance for 2026 adjusted earnings that beat the average analyst estimate. The outlook, which excludes currency fluctuations, surpasses the average analyst estimate of a 0.5% revenue decline for the period from the previous year. It’s more cautious than the view offered by Chief Executive Officer Stefan Larsson in December, when he projected “modest growth” for 2025. Revenue decreased 5% on a constant currency basis in 2024, the company said in a statement. - Roblox (RBLX) shares are up as the video-game company announced it will roll out Rewarded Video ads for programmatic buying through Google. Rewarded video ads allow users to earn in-game perks for watching up to 30-seconds of full-screen video ads, according to a statement from Roblox on Tuesday. The gaming platform, which has 85 million daily users, has been increasing its advertising capability over the last few years, creating lucrative partnerships with the likes of Ralph Lauren, Chipotle Mexican Grill and other brands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
