Kohl’s Corp. shares posted a record one-day gain Tuesday, minting it as the newest meme stock, amid an influx of mentions by retail traders on social media.

Small investors piled into Kohl's Tuesday and sent shares flying upwards as the department store retailer became the latest business caught up in a stock market frenzy.

Huge interest in the Menomonee Falls-based retailer's stock drove so many trades July 22 that trading was briefly suspended. The rally came after online forums talked up shares in the retailer, which has suffered from sales slumps and corporate leadership turnover.
