Software stocks — Intuit's earnings sent a slew of software companies lower in premarket trading Wednesday, with the iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF (IGV) down more than 1%. ServiceNow was don more than 2.5%, while Workday and Salesforce were off 2%.

  2. Kohl's — The retailer rose 2% after Kohl's raised its full-year outlook, boosted partially by $150 million in tariff refunds received in the second quarter.
