Small-cap stocks generally traded lower along with major industries Tuesday. The Russell 2000 was down 0.6%, and the S&P SmallCap 600 edged 0.6% lower.

Shares of Spire Corp. (SPIR - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr), however, traded up 19.4% to $14.67 after Jesup & Lamont initiated coverage of the Bedford, Mass., solar firm with a buy rating.

Meanwhile, Uranium Energy (UEC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) rose 15.9% to $2.40. The Austin, Texas-based company, which is looking to produce uranium in the U.S., completed the initial portion of the Goliad ISR Uranium Project, its first such project.

Experiencing pain, CineMark Holdings (CNK - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) traded down 9% to $12.72. Morgan Stanley downgraded the Plano, Texas, movie theater chain to equal-weight from overweight and gave the stock a $16 price target, citing the potential for pressure to build on shares if disappointing domestic box office sales weigh on results.

Omnova Solutions (OMN - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) traded down 5.59% to $3.38. The Fairlawn, Ohio, specialty chemicals company posted a fiscal second-quarter loss of $3.1 million, or 7 cents a share -- narrower than the $9.8 million, or 23 cents a share, loss it reported a year ago and but short of the 2 cents per-share profit analysts expected.
