Earnings Roundup: Meta Boosts Bet on AI, Tesla Beats Estimates, IBM Posts Sales Growth

Today's biggest gainers and decliners in the stock market.

On this episode of Stock Movers:

• Meta (META) boosted its capital spending outlook and announced plans for a new class of nonvoting stock, escalating its already-stratospheric bet on artificial intelligence. Meta shares rose more than 6% in after-hours trading on Wednesday. They had gained about 6% this year through the close in New York.
• Tesla (TSLA)’s third-quarter profit beat estimates, potentially assuaging concerns about the electric vehicle maker’s increased investment into new areas such as robots and artificial intelligence. The results give Tesla some breathing room as it chases Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s futuristic vision of self-driving cars and humanoid robots. Shares initially rose in postmarket trading. 
• IBM (IBM) reported sales that topped analysts’ estimates, saying it had recovered most of the infrastructure deals that were delayed earlier this year. The shares gained about 5% in extended trading after closing at $251.46 in New York. The stock declined 15% this year through Wednesday’s close.
