Five Below, Inc. (FIVE - Free Report) was a big mover last session, as the company saw its shares rise more than 8% on the day. The move came on solid volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This breaks the recent trend of the company, as the stock is now trading above the volatile price range of $114.87 to $120.01 in the past one-month time frame.

The upmove came after the company reported better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter 2018 (ended Feb 2, 2019) results.
