RH — Shares of RH fell 10.6% after the high-end furniture chain slashed its full-year outlook and said consumer demand for its products could continue to soften in the back half of 2022. That pulled other home retail stocks down. Wayfair slid 6%, and Williams-Sonoma lost 3.9%.

Walgreens Boots Alliance — Shares of the drugstore chain fell 5% despite an earnings beat in the company’s most-recent quarter. Walgreens said that a slowdown in demand for Covid-19 vaccines weighed on profits but reiterated its forecast for the full year.

Earlier this week, Morgan Stanley cut Carnival’s price target in half and said it could go down to zero.
