- SpaceX (SPCX) jumped for a third straight day on Tuesday, overtaking Amazon in value to become the fifth-largest stock in the world. Shares closed 4.8% higher, pushing its market capitalization to $2.65 trillion, roughly $8 billion higher than Amazon’s. At the stock’s intraday high, the market value of Elon Musk’s rocket and AI company topped Microsoft Corp. to briefly become the world’s fourth-largest stock.

- Snap (SNAP) introduced Specs, a $2,195 pair of augmented reality glasses that co-founder Evan Spiegel described as a leapfrog advancement and the computer of the future. The thick-rimmed eyeglasses, which go on sale this fall, were unveiled at the AWE mixed-reality conference in Long Beach, California, on Tuesday. They have a traditional, albeit bulky, design, and the lenses can automatically transition between clear and tinted states depending on lighting conditions. The stock fell in trading on Tuesday.

- Tractor Supply (TSCO) shares dropped after the farm store chain was downgraded at Truist and Piper Sandler, citing concerns about competition, including Lowe’s, and a falling large dog population that reduces the company’s TAM.
