Shares of beauty and waxing service franchise European Wax Center (NASDAQ:EWCZ) fell 3% in the afternoon session after the company announced a shake-up in its executive leadership team, appointing a new Chief Operating Officer and Chief Development Officer. European Wax Center named Angela Jaskolski as its new COO and Kurt Smith as Chief Development Officer. Jaskolski previously served as Chief Store Officer at hair care brand Madison Reed, while Smith comes from Yum! Brands, where he was a Vice President and General Manager for Pizza Hut.

Shares of automotive manufacturer Ford (NYSE:F)
fell 3.2% in the afternoon session after the company disclosed a costly vehicle recall. The company announced it is recalling nearly 700,000 of its Bronco Sport, Escape, and Kuga SUVs due to faulty fuel injectors that could crack and leak fuel, creating a potential fire risk. Ford estimates the cost of this "field service action" will be approximately $570 million, a charge that will be reflected in its upcoming second-quarter results. This action expands on previous recalls for the same issue after fires were reported in vehicles that had already received an earlier software-based fix. The news adds to growing concerns over the company's quality control, as Ford has issued significantly more recalls than any other U.S. automaker in the first half of 2025. These repeated safety issues and their associated costs are weighing on investor sentiment, raising questions about the impact on future profitability and brand reputation.
