- Tesla (TSLA) shares soared after Elon Musk responded to an unprecedented pay proposal from Tesla Inc.’s board by buying about $1 billion worth of shares. The billionaire bought the shares indirectly through a revocable trust on Sept. 12, according to a regulatory filing released Monday. The purchase coincided with Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm speaking with reporters about the merits of awarding Musk around $1 trillion worth of stock if the company achieves a series of ambitious market value and performance milestones.

- Shares of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) popped today after the search giant on Monday joined an elite group of companies valued at more than $3 trillion, the latest sign of improving investor sentiment toward the Google parent. Shares rose as much as 4.8% to $252.41, resulting in a market capitalization of just over $3 trillion. The stock has soared more than 70% from its April low, adding roughly $1.2 trillion in value over that span. Alphabet joins a short list of companies valued at more than $3 trillion, with Nvidia Corp., Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. the only other publicly traded stocks above that level.

- Corteva (CTVA) shares fell today as Wall Street analysts find a potential breakup of the company’s seed and pesticide businesses negative for the firm. Bloomberg Intelligence says a breakup undermines “product and financial logic” while Bank of America says a separation would create two weaker entities.
