Why It Matters: Tesla shares closed 3% lower in Tuesday’s trading after CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter that the electric vehicle maker has not yet signed a contract with car rental company Hertz Global Holdings Inc. HTZZ.

Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond surged more than 67% in Tuesday’s after-hours session after the company announced a partnership with grocery chain Kroger Co. KR, the launch of a new digital marketplace to expand in the Home & Baby categories, and increased the amount of its three-year share buyback to $1 billion.
