The CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a “Morning Meeting” livestream every weekday at 10:20 a.m. ET. On Wednesday, U.S. stocks saw a boost as Wall Street reacted positively to a cooler-than-expected consumer price index report. The S & P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reached all-time highs, signaling an overbought market according to the S & P 500 Short Range Oscillator. Jim Cramer advised taking profits in such a scenario, prompting the club to trim its position in Morgan Stanley. Meanwhile, research analysts at Morgan Stanley expressed optimism about Club holding Palo Alto Networks, noting a favorable setup before quarterly earnings and anticipating large deals for the cybersecurity stock.
Palo Alto Networks received praise for its comprehensive offerings after securing a significant deal with UnitedHealth Group following a major breach on its subsidiary Change Healthcare in February. This success contributed to the stock’s nearly 2% increase on Wednesday. On the other hand, Bank of America remains pessimistic about Best Buy due to their belief that an artificial intelligence-driven personal computer refresh cycle will not materialize this fiscal year. Despite the analysts’ underperform rating, Jim Cramer remains a believer in an impending upgrade wave and the potential impact on Best Buy as a result. While acknowledging that the stock is down about 5% year to date, compared to the S & P 500’s nearly 11% gain, Jim sees value in the company’s safe dividend and the potential for increased foot traffic in stores.
