Stocks are up Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.75%, the Nasdaq up 0.52% and the S&P 500 up 0.72%. Today’s winner is a media firm getting bought out, while today’s loser is a financial and insurance information firm that will miss revenue targets in the third quarter.

This is Tuesday’s market winner and loser.
