Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer hosts a “Morning Meeting” livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET, providing valuable insights to investors. Here’s a detailed recap of the key moments from Tuesday’s session.
Stock Market Overview: Mixed Signals Amid Government Shutdown Concerns
The stock market experienced a dip on Tuesday as concerns about a potential government shutdown loomed. Despite this downturn, Jim Cramer reassured participants, stating, “I don’t want anyone to sweat it. If the market goes down here … you need to be a buyer.” With federal funding running out, the urgency increased for lawmakers to reach a deal on a stopgap spending measure before a shutdown occurs shortly after midnight.
In response to the market fluctuations, the Club portfolio saw increased positions in Boeing and Costco on Tuesday morning. Additionally, the team anticipated earnings results from Nike after the market closed, hoping to identify early signs of a turnaround for the brand.
Investment Analysis: Capital One’s Opportunity Amid Economic Trends
Jim Cramer identified Capital One as a potential opportunity for investors, observing that the stock had dropped approximately 6% following disconcerting economic data that showed consumer confidence for September hit its lowest point since April. According to Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club, Capital One is particularly exposed to subprime borrowers and may be significantly affected by a decline in consumer spending. The Club initiated a position in Capital One earlier this year, in anticipation of its acquisition of Discover.
CoreWeave’s Surge: A Landmark AI Cloud Infrastructure Deal
CoreWeave witnessed a remarkable surge of over 12% in its shares after announcing a significant agreement to provide Meta Platforms with a $14.2 billion AI cloud infrastructure deal. Jim noted, “Meta has got this success. So, they need more compute [power].” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg perceives that expanding compute resources can translate into greater revenue opportunities.
Jim further emphasized the significance of this deal, stating, “Meta is a terrific stock.” This increase in computing capacity also aligns with a projected rise in AI chip demand from Nvidia, which has received an increased price target of $210 from Citi. Analysts estimate that hyperscaler AI capital expenditures could soar to $490 billion by 2026, up from a previous forecast of $420 billion.
