The stock market performed well on Tuesday, including gains of nearly 200 points for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and similarly positive moves for other major benchmarks. At first glance, decisions from the U.S. and China to impose new tariffs on each other might have seemed like bad news, but investors were pleased that the actual tariff rates on the goods covered by the measures were less severe than initially feared. Even with that as a positive backdrop, some companies weren't able to avoid bad news that sent their shares lower. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Apogee Enterprises (NASDAQ:APOG), and General Mills (NYSE:GIS) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.
Musk deals with more tweet falloutShares of Tesla finished lower by 3% after having been down more sharply earlier in the day. The electric-car company lost ground after reports that the U.S. Department of Justice will take a closer look at CEO Elon Musk's tweets about potentially taking Tesla private, with the assertion of "funding secured" meriting particularly close scrutiny. Tesla responded by saying that it has already responded to earlier requests for information from the Justice Department, and that the company has not received any further formal inquiries. Nevertheless, Tesla shareholders seem nervous about how big a role Musk's behavior can play in the automaker's prospects for the future.
Top 5 China Stocks For 2019: Baidu Inc.(BIDU)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Keith Noonan]
iQiyi (NASDAQ:IQ) has proven to be an exciting and somewhat controversial stock since since being spun off from Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) at the end of March. The video-streaming company's share price dipped out of the gate, but it quickly recovered -- climbing from an IPO priced at $18 per share to as high as $46 in June. Shares are now down roughly 40% from that all-time high and have been bouncing around the $28 range over the last month as the market attempts to shake out what's next for the Chinese video company.

Getting back to basics is a good look for Baidu's (NASDAQ:BIDU) financial statements. China's leading search engine came through with its best top-line growth since 2015 for this year's first quarter. Revenue topped the high end of its earlier guidance -- as it did last time out -- with earnings growing even faster.

iQiyi has the advantage of being backed by one of the world's most advanced AI leaders. The company was spun off in March from Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), China's largest internet search engine and a world leader in AI. Baidu, which retains a roughly 70% stake in its streaming offshoot, is already providing the company with AI and data analytics services, and has plans to continue providing its subsidiary with more support in these fields.
