Smith & Wesson pops big, and Facebook may be buying a drone maker. Here are four stocks making moves on the market today.

Smith & Wesson (SWBI 0.77%) was up big today after third-quarter earnings came in higher than expected. The gunmaker also raised guidance. Facebook (META 2.98%) is reportedly looking into buying drone maker Titan Aerospace for $60 million. Hovnanian (HOV 8.19%) is falling today after the homebuilder's loss in the first quarter was bigger than analysts were expecting. And in a recent public filing, Chipotle (CMG 1.07%) cited climate change as a business risk, going further to say that if the cost of avocados increases too much, Chipotle may suspend serving guacamole.
