If President Trump is trying to hurt Nordstrom, it appears he's failed.
The company's stock price has climbed more than 7% since Trump lashed out at the company on Twitter Wednesday morning.
The president claimed his daughter, Ivanka, "has been treated so unfairly" by Nordstrom (JWN) because the company decided last week to stop carrying clothes and accessories from her fashion label. The company has said it parted ways with the Ivanka Trump brand due to declining sales.
After the Twitter blast, Nordstrom stock dipped slightly before it began climbing -- and Thursday it reached its highest point so far this month. The company's stock price surpassed the $46 mark Thursday -- compared to its Just before Trump posted the attack, Nordstrom's stock price was at $42.65.
The boost has helped Nordstrom's stock nearly recover all the losses its taken since the beginning of the year.
It's a welcome boost for the retailer, considering Nordstrom -- like many brick-and-mortar retailers -- has been struggling against e-commerce giants like Amazon (AMZN, Tech30). Despite the surge and an August earnings report that beat Wall Street's expectations, its stock is still down more than 9% over the last 12 months.
