Bath & Body Works, Children's Place, and Kohl's joined other retailers in reporting weak quarterly results but BJ's bucked the trend. Boeing received orders for troubled 737 Max aircrafts.

The company also said March sales in the current quarter were 35% lower from a year ago on inclement weather across the nation and rising food and energy prices kept consumers away.
The retailer also guided full-year 2022 sales in "a mid-single digit."
Cisco Systems Inc declined 13.2% to $41.78 after the networking systems maker reported flat quarterly sales and guided a decline in sales in the current quarter.
Kohl's Corporation fell 0.7% to $42.73 after the department store chain reported a first quarter and comparable sales declined 5.2% and flat earnings from a year ago.

Tesla Inc added 2.6% to $726.45 and briefly traded below $700. The stock has been on the slide since the company's CEO Elon Musk offered to buy micro-blogging platform Twitter pledging the Tesla stock as a collateral.
Tesla has collapsed 38% since Musk announced an offer to buy Twitter in early April.
Stock has also been hurt by the recent tech selloff and ongoing lockdown worries in Shanghai hurting vehicle production.
Under Armour Inc declined 10.3% to $9.45 after the athletic apparel retailer said CEO Patrick Frisk will step down from his responsibilities at the end of the month without giving any reason.
The surprise departure raises questions about the company's turnaround plans.
