10:02 Thursday, January 28, 2021 (RTTNews.com) - Shares of Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (BBW), a specialty retailer of plush animals and related products, are gaining more than 14 percent or $0.97 in Thursday's morning trade at $7.76.

The stock has recorded strong gains in the past two sessions, including touching a new 52-week high on Wednesday, despite no company-specific news.

U.S. stocks are advancing on Thursday after a sell-off in the previous session, with airline stocks among the leading gainers on better-than-expected earnings results. A report from the Labor Department showing a bigger than expected decline in first-time claims for U.S. unemployment benefits in the week ended January 23 also boosted the markets.
