Key Points

• Meta Platforms rises after agreeing to acquire AI start-up Manus.
• Tesla fell, following losses in the previous session.
• Newmont and Hecla Mining rise as gold and silver prices rebound.

Stocks dipped on Tuesday after minutes from the latest meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee showed some officials want to keep interest rates unchanged “for some time” after three cuts this year.

These stocks made notable moves:

Meta Platforms rose 1.1% after the social-media company said it agreed to acquire artificial-intelligence start-up Manus, a Singapore-based firm with Chinese founders. Meta is closing the deal at a valuation of more than $2 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Tesla fell 1.2% to $454.24, extending its losses after a 3.3% drop Monday. The electric-vehicle maker published fourth-quarter delivery estimates that missed Wall Street expectations.

Still, Baird recommends investors own Tesla shares into 2026. Analysts with the firm said Tuesday they continue to view the company as a “core holding,” citing catalysts like a broader robo-taxi rollout and progress on Optimus commercialization. Baird maintained an Outperform rating on Tesla with a $548 price target.

Newmont gained 2.1% as precious-metal prices rebounded following Monday’s selloff. Fellow miner Freeport-McMoRan fell 0.1%.

Hecla Mining —the largest U.S. silver producer—rose 1.5% after falling 5% Monday, when silver suffered its sharpest one-day selloff in nearly five years.

Boeing rose 0.6% to $218.49. The aerospace giant was awarded a contract for up to $8.58 billion from the U.S. Air Force to build fighter jets for the Israeli Air Force. Separately, Tigress analyst Ivan Feinseth initiated a 12-month target price of $275 on the stock, implying a gain of around 24% from current levels.

Trump Media & Technology Group declined 4.5%. The operator of the social-media platform Truth Social launched five new ‘America-First’ exchange-traded funds on the New York Stock Exchange.
