The CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases a Homestretch update every weekday, providing actionable information for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw its sixth positive session in a row, adding nearly 150 points, while the S & P 500 was flat, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was slightly lower. Despite a slight uptick in bond yields, the week on Wall Street has been relatively calm, with fewer earnings reports and no major economic data. Broadcom and Starbucks were among the top-performing stocks on Wednesday, with positive results from Arista Networks driving Broadcom’s gains.
Broadcom, a Club holding, performed well on Wednesday, adding more than 1% to its value. The stock defied the trend of semiconductor stocks moving lower, with positive results from Arista Networks contributing to its gains. Starbucks also saw positive movement, bouncing back after a significant decline following disappointing earnings. CEO Laxman Narasimhan’s turnaround plans are being closely watched to see if they can stabilize the stock. Jim Cramer and former CEO Howard Schultz have both questioned the effectiveness of Narasimhan’s strategy.
Barclays analysts believe that the sell-off in Disney following their earnings report was overdone, with one-time items impacting their guidance. The stock remained steady on Wednesday after a significant drop the previous day. Analysts suggest that the market may have misunderstood the company’s guidance, leading to an exaggerated response from investors. The earnings reports for Arm Holdings, Airbnb, Robinhood, and Trade Desk are being closely watched to gauge the health of the AI semiconductor market and consumer spending habits.
