Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market, a look at the notable movers for the week:

On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Estee Lauder (EL) and Spanish company Puig Brands SA have walked away from a multibillion-dollar deal that would have created one of the world’s largest beauty businesses. The two companies had confirmed talks of a potential business combination in March without disclosing any terms. On Thursday, they each issued statements saying those discussions had ended, but neither elaborated on the reason. Combined, the companies would have had a market cap of nearly $39 billion based on closing prices Thursday, with annual sales of around $20 billion in 2025.

- Deckers (DECK) Outdoor shares are up 4.3% in postmarket trading Thursday after the parent company of both Ugg and Hoka reported revenue for the fourth quarter that beat the average analyst estimate. The company also provided net sales guidance for 2027 ahead of consensus.

- Intuit (INTU) suffered its worst stock decline in more than two decades after announcing plans to cut about 17% of its staff and reporting slower TurboTax sales than anticipated. The job reductions, which will affect about 3,000 workers, will trim costs while the financial software company invests in artificial intelligence products. They’re meant to simplify the organization and turn it into a “faster, leaner, more focused company,” Intuit said Wednesday in a statement that included fiscal third-quarter results.

- The Trump administration has agreed to award $1 billion to International Business Machines (IBM) to build a foundry for producing quantum computing chips, part of a broad strategy to bolster US leadership in an emerging industry. The news sent shares of IBM up as much as 11% in New York on Thursday, marking the biggest intraday gain in more than a year.

- Ralph Lauren (RL) surged after it reported revenue and profit that beat analyst expectations, demonstrating the high-end apparel company’s momentum with consumers in the face of ongoing tariff uncertainty.

-Walmart (WMT) shares are down 2.9% ahead of the bell after the retailer’s forecast for adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter fell short of the consensus estimate. The company maintained its annual forecasts, though the Street estimate for adjusted EPS sits 7c above the top end of the guidance range.

- Deere (DE) shares fall as much as 7.2%, the most since August, after the company said it still expects a deep slump in the large agriculture machinery sector in the US and Canada this fiscal year, while conditions in South America will be worse than it previously saw. Analysts point out that a profit beat in the second quarter appeared to be fueled by tariff refunds.
