Stocks slipped T💧uesday as the market took a breather after a weeklong, election-fueled rall🌄y that has pushed major indexes to a series of record highs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.9%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite declined 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively. Stocks were coming off all-time highs on Monday, when the S&P 500 finished above 6,000 points for the first time. Investor optimism has been running high following Donald Trump's decisive vi꧂ctory in last week's presidential election and the Federal Reserve's move to cut interest rates.

Tesla (TSLA) shares, which have been among the biggest gainers during the rally, shed 6.2% Tuesday. The stock has risen more than 30% over the past week amid hopes that the EV maker stands to benefit from CEO Elon Musk's close relationship with the president-eꦓlect.

Other mega-cap technology stocks were higher across the board. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:AI investor favorite Nvidia (NVDA) rose 2.1%, while Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (META) also gained ground.

Among other noteworthy movers on Tuesday, shares of Honeywell (HON) climbed 3.9% following news that activist investor Elliott Investment Management had taken a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:$5 billion stake in the company. Home Depot (HD) shares fell 1.3%, giving back earlier gains, after the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:retailer reported better-than-expected quarterly results and boosted its sales projections. Shopify (SHOP) shares surged 21% after a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:strong earnings report.

Bitcoin traded around $88,000 recently, after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:briefly touching a record high just above $90,000. The cryptocurrency has gained about 25% over the past week on optimism that a Trump White House and supportive Congress could implဣement po𒈔licies that support the asset class.

Gold futures were down slightly at around $2,600 an ounce. The precious metal, which hit an ♍all-time high above $2,800 early last week, has lost ground recently as the U.S. dollar has strengthened since the election.

The yield on 10-year Treasurys, which is correlated with expectations around 🐽where interest rates are headed, was at 4.43% in re🌸cent trading, up sharply from its previous close of 4.31% and back to where it was before the election.

The economic data calendar was light today but picks up in the coming days, with particular focus on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wednesday's CPI inflation reading and Friday's retail sales report. Investors are watching data closely for indications that the economy remains on 🍬sound footing, as well as information that could affect the Fed's future decisions on interest rates.

Decliners

  • Mosaic (MOS) shares fell 7.7%, the S&P 500's weakest performance on Tuesday, after the fertilizer maker reported third-quarter sales and profits that came in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:below analysts' forecasts. Volume declines across the company's potash, phosphate, and Mosaic Fertilizantes segments dragged on performance. Mosaic also announced that its chief financial officer (CFO) will step down at the end of the year.
  • The CEO of GE Vernova (GEV), the energy equipment maker that completed its separation from General Electric in April, said the firm does not expect sales opportunities for new offshore wind energy projects until the market environment improves.

Advancers

  • Tyson Foods (TSN) shares posted the strongest daily gain of any S&P 500 stock, rising 6.5% after the meat processor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:beat sales and profit estimates for its fiscal fourth quarter.

  • Shares of medical device maker Dexcom (DXCM) popped 5.7% higher following reports that the company has officially opened its first manufacturing facility outside the U.S. The maker of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices for patients with diabetes said its new plant in Penang, Malaysia, was an important investment in the country and a key part of plans to boost its global capacity.

Honeywell Rises After Activist Elliott Discloses Stake

November 12, 2024 12:20 PM EST

Honeywell International (HON) shares rose to an all-time high Tuesday after Elliott Investment Management said it has built a $5 billion-plus position i🌸n the industrials conglomerate and is𓄧 seeking a breakup of the company.

Elliott said in a statement that it had sent a letter to Honeywell's board of directors seeking separations of the aerospace and automation businesses as standalone companies. The hedge fund said it believed such a split out of the two companies would result in share-price increases of between 51% and 75% over the next two years as they benefit from more focused management and a simplified structure.

"The conglomerate structure that once suited Honeywell no longer does, and the time has come to embrace simplification," Elliott said, noting that "uneven execution, inconsistent financial results and an underperforming share price have diminished the Company's strong record of value creation over the last five years."

Honeywell is one of the few industrial conglomerates that has yet to break up, although it announced plans last month to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:streamline its business and spin off its advಞanced materials division.

Charlotte, N.C.-based Honeywell last month posted lower-than-estimated quarterly sales and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:lowered its revenue guidance as demand for its industrial automatiꦇon products slumped. 

The stock was up 2% at around $230 in recent trading, after hitting a hig🌠h of just under $243 earlier in the session.

Live Nation Shares Hit Record High on Q3 Earnings Beat

November 12, 2024 10:34 AM EST

Shares of Live Nation (LYV) rose Tuesday morning after the Ticketmaster parent company's third-quarter earnings came in ♏better th𝔍an expected.

Late Monday, the entertainment company reported $7.7 billion in revenue, just below what analysts had estimated, but profit of $1.66 per share for the quarter was above the consensus estimates of $1.57. Revenue and EP💫S were both down from the same time last year.

CEO Michael Rapino🌼 said Live Nation is coming off of the company's "most active summer concert season ever," and said an "even bigger" lineup in 2025 should continue to fuel its results.

After results earlier this year were boosted by Taylor Swift's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:blockbuster "Eras Tour," which will end with several shows in Canada over t💫he next month, the company said it is looking ahead to stadium tours from acts like Shakira and Coldplay to drive sales next year. Live Nation said it has already sold 20 million tickets for 2025 shows, and said th♑e arena tour ticket sales are "delivering double-digit average growth in show grosses relative to past tours."

The ticket seller and venue owner is still facing an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:attempꦺt from the ༒Department of Justice to b🦄reak up Live Nation and Ticketmaster after their 2010 merger. The DOJ accused Live Nation of acting as a monopoly earlier this year in a lawsuit, including allegations of intimidation and retaliation to get venues to use Ticketmaster for their ticket sales.

Coinbase Price Levels to Watch Amid Post-Election Surge

November 12, 2024 09:46 AM EST

Coinbase (COIN) shares surged to a three-yeaཧr high Monday as investors bet that higher trading volumes and a more favorable regulatory environment under the incoming Trump Administration could benefit the cr𝓡ypto exchange.

The move came as Bitcoin (BTCUSD) set another record high on Monday above $88,000, and Ether (ETHUSD), the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, rose to a multi-year peak. Rising cryptocurrency prices boost Coinbase by generating more ꦦtrading activity, which in turn boosts the comp🔯any’s revenues through increased fees.

Coinbase shares were down slight🌜ly at around $322 in early trading Tuesday, as bitcoin came off its record hi🦹ghs.

The stock broke out above the top trendline of a seven-month descending channel last week on above-average volume, with follow-through buying continuing into this week𒊎.

Investors should watch key overhead levels on the Coinbase chart around $369, $430🎃, and $6ꦛ95, while monitoring an important support area near $220.
