Investing.com -- Stocks were mixed on Thursday on fears that interest rate hikes won't stop any time soon. Here are the midday movers for Nov. 17:

• Bath&Body Works Inc. (NYSE:BBWI) stock jumped 22% after the retailer raised its full year outlook and beat expectations for revenue and earnings per share. It expects full year EPS to be in a range of $3 to $3.20, up from an earlier forecast of $2.70 to $3.

• Macy’s Inc (NYSE:M) stock rose 15% after the department store operator boosted its outlook for the full year. Kohl's Corp (NYSE:KSS), another department store operator, withdrew its fourth quarter guidance, citing economic challenges and the departure of its CEO. Its shares rose 3.4%.

• NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock was flat after forecasting fourth quarter revenue of $6 billion, which is slightly below estimates. It beat expectations for revenue in the third quarter on strong results in its data center business.

• Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NYSE:NCLH) shares fell 7% after a double downgrade from Credit Suisse, citing headwinds heading into 2023 despite the cruise operator's optimistic outlook on bookings next year.
