The S&P 500 (SP500) advanced +0.9%, the Nasdaq Composite (COMP:IND) rose +1.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) gained +0.7%.
Now, here are the four stocks to watch on Tuesday after hours:

- Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares surged 20% in after-hours trading Tuesday after the AI server specialist delivered strong preliminary fourth-quarter guidance and raised its gross margin outlook.
- Moreover, Chubb Limited (CB) remains in focus as well as investors and traders digest the company’s latest earnings report, which landed after the bell. The firm posted Q2 Non-GAAP EPS of $7.26, beating estimates by $0.52.
