On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Tesla (TSLA) rebounded in premarket trading after the company published a compilation of analyst estimates for vehicle deliveries to its website, with averages for the current quarter more pessimistic than those gathered by Bloomberg. By Tesla’s count, analysts on average expect the company to deliver 422,850 cars in the fourth quarter, down 15% from a year earlier. That compares with a Bloomberg-compiled average of 445,061 vehicles, a 10% drop.
- Silver and gold mining stocks are higher ahead of the US market open as the precious metals rebound, with gainers including Hecla (HL), Coeur (CDE), and Barrick (B). Silver recovered some losses after its biggest one-day drop in more than five years, with a lingering supply shortage keeping the metal on track for a monthly gain of about a third, while gold edged up after its steepest drop in two months. Tighter margin requirements and technical indicators signaling an overstretched rally both contributed to the selloff, with thin market liquidity exacerbating recent price swings.
- Shares of Meta (META) fluctuated in the early session after the company agreed to buy Manus, a popular Singapore-based artificial intelligence agent with Chinese roots, in its effort to build a business around its massive AI investment. The deal values Manus at more than $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. It marks a rare US acquisition of an Asian tech company and the latest multibillion-dollar AI bet from Meta Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg. Meta intends to continue operating and selling the Manus service while also integrating it into its products, it said in a statement. Backed by some of China’s biggest names like Tencent Holdings Ltd., ZhenFund and HSG, Manus shot to prominence early this year not long after DeepSeek’s debut.
