Immuron Limited shares jumped 71.2 percent to $14.46 after the company disclosed positive results in NASH clinical trial.

Kroger Co (NYSE:KR) (The Wall Street Journal)
Kroger Co.’s stock dropped 12% on Thursday as the grocer’s investment in online operations to compete with Walmart Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and other retailers cut into profit and disappointed investors looking for higher share buybacks and dividends.
