Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE:KSS)
On May 1, 2025, Kohl’s revealed that its CEO had been terminated after violating company policy by engaging in “vendor transactions that involved undisclosed conflicts of interest.” Specifically, Kohl’s stated that he had “directed that the Company conduct business with a vendor founded by an individual with whom [he] has a personal relationship on highly unusual terms favorable to the vendor and that he also caused the Company to enter into a multi-million dollar consulting agreement wherein the same individual was a part of the consulting team.” Following this news, Kohl’s stock dropped on unusually heavy trading volume.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF)
On May 7, 2025, Cleveland-Cliffs issued a press release reporting its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. Among other items, Cleveland-Cliffs reported a larger than expected adjusted loss and an 11% year-over-year revenue decline to $4.63 billion. The Company also announced plans to fully or partially idle six steel plants. Cleveland-Cliffs’ Chief Executive Officer attributed the operational changes to negative effects from underperforming non-core assets and the lagging effect of lower index prices in late 2024 and early 2025 and said that the Company is repositioning its portfolio away from non-core markets, including rail, high-carbon sheet, and specialty plate products, and toward the automotive industry. On this news, the price of Cleveland-Cliffs shares declined by $1.34 per share, from $8.49 per share on May 7, 2025, to close at $7.15 on May 8, 2025.
