Sears Holdings Corporation (SHLD)Sears is looking good today, up 23.06% to $34.96.

Investors seem to think the money raising techniques will help Sears move forward. Shares of the company climbed over $6.50 today but are still well off of their 52-week high of $66.77.
NCR Corp. (NCR)

Previously, it had projected $3 to $3.10 a share in earnings and $6.75 billion to $6.85 billion in revenue. Management stated that the decline in guidance was due to a weakened retail environment and market conditions. Shares of NCR hit a new 52-week low of $22.83 intraday.
