The Homestretch is a daily afternoon update released by the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, providing actionable insights just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. In a recent update, the market was seen overcoming some selling pressure at the start of the session, with Apple emerging as the top stock in the S & P 500, rallying more than 6% to reach a fresh all-time high. This surge in Apple’s stock price can be attributed to its generative artificial intelligence strategy presented at its annual developer conference event, which has now been recognized by the market as a significant opportunity for the tech giant.
The market also found support from falling bond yields, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury falling about 4 basis points after a strong response to a $39 billion auction of 10-year notes. This led to a positive performance for Club holding Stanley Black & Decker, which added more than 2% on Tuesday, showcasing its leverage to the rate-sensitive housing market. Additionally, the CNBC Investing Club recently added to its DuPont position, highlighting the potential upside the stock has to a $100 sum-of-the-parts-based price target, given the company’s plans to break itself up into three separate entities.
In terms of industry news, the FDA advisory panel’s endorsement of Eli Lilly’s Alzheimer’s drug has implications for fellow Club name GE Healthcare, particularly through the potential increase in demand for MRI machines. However, the financial sector struggled on Tuesday, with concerns about commercial real estate loans impacting bank stocks. Despite this, Wells Fargo reiterated guidance for its net interest income, with CFO Michael Santomassimo noting that the issues in commercial real estate are varied and dependent on factors such as location and building age. The bank also discussed its focus on investment banking hires and upcoming plans in that area.
Looking ahead, investors are eagerly anticipating Coterra Energy CEO Tom Jorden’s appearance on “Mad Money” to gain insights into the company’s strategy regarding capital investment, shareholder returns, and consolidation within the oil and gas industry. Wednesday is expected to be a significant day in the financial markets, with key economic reports and the Fed rate decision on the agenda. Club holding Broadcom will also report earnings, providing updates on AI commentary, VMware integration, and its semiconductor business.
