June 13 (Reuters) - Ryan Cohen has bought GameStop (GME.N) stock worth $10 million, a securities filing showed on Tuesday, in a sign that the activist investor was trying to boost shareholder morale after the company lost its fifth CEO in five years last week. Shares of the company jumped 7.7% in early trading. They are down nearly 80% from their peak of $120.75 hit during the meme-stock frenzy of 2021.

Those chains such as T.J.Maxx , Ross Stores and Burlington Stores , have opened more stores and wooed new customers, driving higher foot traffic than Nordstrom Rack has seen. Nordstrom Rack stores outnumber the company's namesake stores, with 241 locations across the country, according to company filings. Nordstrom Rack stores accounted for more than 40% of new customers in 2022, CEO Erik Nordstrom said on the March earnings call. As it pins its growth hopes on the off-price locations, Nordstrom has turned Rack stores into e-commerce hubs, too.

Bed Bath & Beyond stock jumped 30% Monday after last week's heavy losses. However, Reddit users are speculating that a merger and acquisition deal could be looming to save the meme-stock company. The post cited an NT 10-Q form explaining why Bed Bath & Beyond may file earnings late as well as two December S-4 filings as fuel for the acquisition theory. However, shares tumbled 40% on August 18 when activist investor and GameStop exec Ryan Cohen sold his entire Bed Bath & Beyond stake — 9.45 million shares — via his firm RC Ventures. Bed Bath & Beyond is scheduled to report earnings on Tuesday, following warnings that losses could be as steep as 40%, or about $385.8 million.
