(IEP) rose 4.6% after the Wall Street Journal reported that activist investor Carl Icahn and major banks finalized amended loan agreements that untie his personal loans from the company’s stock price. a key risk that was raised by short-seller Hindenburg Research.

Reports on the results are expected Monday from

Helen of Troy

(HELE), which sells products such as Revlon cosmetics and Pur water filters,
