Tesla, Apple, Western Alliance, ImmunoGen, Qualcomm: Why These 5 Stocks Are Drawing Investors' Attention Today

U.S. markets ended in the red on Wednesday after recording initial gains following the Federal Reserve hiking the policy rate by 25 basis points that came in line with expectations.

Markets pared the initial gains after Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank still sees inflation as too high, and stated it was too soon to say the rate hike cycle is over.

Meanwhile, following are the five stocks that are drawing investors' attention:

1. Tesla Inc TSLA: Shares of the EV-maker closed 0.19% higher on Wednesday. Tesla restarted taking orders for its Model 3 Long Range in the U.S. after an eight-month-long pause. The Model 3 Long Range is now available for order on the company's website for $47,240, with deliveries estimated in June.
