Why Lands' End Is Soaring 10% This Week

Shares of Lands' End (NASDAQ: LE) are up 9.7% compared to where they closed last Friday, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. While there was no company-specific news that would account for the jump in price, the clothing retailer did receive favorable coverage last weekend about Lands' End's plans to go after the Gen X demographic. An article on CNN, and a similar story a few days later on Business Insider, pointed out how Land's End had previously pursued millennials and Gen Z to "catastrophic" effect.

"It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern," board member Brian Aungst Jr. was quoted as saying.

  • DeSantis' board says Disney stripped them of power

    Board members picked by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to oversee the governance of Walt Disney World said Wednesday that their Disney-controlled predecessors pulled a fast one on them by passing restrictive covenants that strip the new board of many of its powers. The current supervisors of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District said at a meeting that their predecessors last month signed a development agreement with the company that gave Disney maximum developmental power over the theme park resort's 27,000 acres in central Florida. The five supervisors were appointed by the Republican governor to the board after the Florida Legislature overhauled Disney's government in retaliation for the entertainment giant publicly opposing so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation that bars instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade, as well as lessons deemed not age-appropriate.
