Nike — Nike shares jumped more than 13% after the company easily topped earnings and revenue estimates for its most recent quarter. The athletic apparel and footwear maker's results gave a boost to other athleisure stocks. Under Armour gained more than 6%, Skechers rose 5% and Lululemon added 3.8%.

FedEx — The delivery giant saw shares rise more than 4% as investors cheered another round of  "aggressive" cost-cutting measures. The company also beat earnings expectations, but profits fell from the same period last year.

Six Flags — Shares of the amusement park operator were up nearly 12% following news that activist shareholder Land & Buildings Investment Management has accumulated a 3% stake in the company.

BlackBerry — BlackBerry shares tumbled by about 9% after the company reported a quarterly loss. Revenue beat estimates but the performance of its cyber business fell short of StreetAccount estimates, coming in at $106 million versus estimates of $111.8 million.

Carnival — Shares jumped more than 4% after Carnival posted a smaller-than-expected loss in its latest quarter, though revenue was worse than expected. CEO Josh Weinstein said strong momentum in booking volumes has continued in December, "which bodes well for 2023 overall."

Cintas — Cintas shares got a more than 2% boost after the uniform maker beat earnings and revenue estimates for its most recent quarter, according to FactSet. It also raised its full-year earnings outlook for 2023.

The mayor of Boston joined Starbucks workers on a picket line Monday to show her support for unionization efforts at one of the coffee chain' s locations there. Mayor Michelle Wu said she wanted to stand with the workers who are part of a movement to organize unions at Starbucks stores nationwide. “I am here because I want you to know very clearly that the city of Boston stands with you,” Wu said Monday, according to WBZ-TV. “We are going to make sure that Boston continues to lead the way in fighting for safe working conditions and the benefits and wages and respect that you all deserve.” In an open letter July 18 directed at the store manager and the district manager , the striking Boston workers accused Starbucks of slashing work hours and creating a “chaotic and hostile” work environment.
