On this episode of Stock Movers:

- Ulta (ULTA) raised its full-year outlook after reporting better-than-expected results in the third quarter, a sign that consumers are overcoming any reluctance to spend and shelling out for cosmetics and hair supplies. The company now expects comparable sales to be up as much as 4.7% in the current fiscal year. Ulta guided in August for that figure to be up as much as 3.5%. It also raised its outlook for net sales and earnings per share. The stock jumped 4.9% at 4:25 p.m. in extended trading in New York on Thursday. It has advanced 23% this year through Thursday’s close.

- HPE (HPE) gave an outlook for sales in the current quarter that fell short of analysts’ estimates, suggesting the company isn’t meeting high expectations for the sales of its AI servers. Revenue will be $9 billion to $9.4 billion and profit, excluding some items, will be 57 cents to 61 cents in the period ending in January, HPE said Thursday in a statement. Analysts, on average, projected sales $9.88 billion and profit of 53 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The shares declined about 2.5% in extended trading after closing at $22.90 in New York. The stock had gained 6.7% this year through Thursday’s close.

- SoFi Technologies (SOFI) is seeking to raise $1.5 billion in a share sale, as the financial technology firm diversifies beyond lending into other products. The San Francisco-based company is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on the share sale, according to a statement Thursday. SoFi is offering shares for $27.50 to $28.50 each, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified as the information isn’t public. The price range represents a discount of as much as 7.1% to Thursday’s close of $29.60. Shares fell 5.8% to $27.89 each in after-hours trading as of 5:05 p.m. in New York. Its stock climbed 92% in the year through Thursday’s market close.
