Zacks

Worthington Industries, Inc. WOR was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise over 8% on the day. The move came after Mark Russell, president and COO, was appointed as the interim president of the Pressure Cylinders business. This led to far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. The stock picked up from the volatile price range of $26.41 to $30.47 in the past one-month time frame.
