The Homestretch provides members of the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer with an afternoon update just before the last hour of trading on Wall Street. The market has been experiencing relatively tight trading during the week, following a four-week rally that pushed major stock benchmarks to new record highs. Investors are eagerly awaiting Nvidia’s earnings report after the closing bell on Wednesday, as the company is one of the two “own it, don’t trade it” stocks recommended by the Club. Analysts are expecting significant growth from Nvidia, particularly with the upcoming launch of its next-generation Blackwell chip platform and the performance of its software business.
Activist investor group Eminence Capital has revealed a stake in Reckitt Benckiser, following the company’s selloff to an all-time low due to concerns about baby formula litigation. Other activist investors are also eyeing Reckitt, believing the stock has been unfairly impacted by recent legal issues. Similarly, Club name Abbott Labs has faced challenges due to lawsuits related to its baby formula products. Despite facing similar legal battles, the Club has slowly built up its position in Abbott following a significant market cap loss despite positive quarterly results and raised full-year outlook.
Looking ahead, homebuilder Toll Brothers is set to report earnings after the closing bell, while Club name TJX Companies will report on Wednesday morning. The focus will be on off-price retailing group’s comparable sales growth, margins, and the availability of quality branded merchandise in the market. Other companies reporting on Wednesday include Target, Analog Devices, and Williams-Sonoma.
