Jim Cramer’s CNBC Investment Club hosts a “Morning Meeting” livestream every weekday at 10:20 a.m. ET. A recap of Thursday’s key moments. 1. Stocks were mixed Thursday as investors moved away from AI hardware stocks and into healthcare, financials and other laggard sectors. Jim believes the recent weakness in tech stocks reflects broader rotation rather than deteriorating fundamentals. Health care stocks led the gains, with club holdings Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson up about 5.5% and 2%, respectively. While investors have profited from some of the market’s biggest AI winners, Jim expects this shift to be temporary and that money will eventually flow back into the AI-driven stocks that have led the market for much of this year. 2. Goldman Sachs shares rose more than 4% to an all-time high, benefiting from Thursday’s entry into the financial sector. Jim called Goldman “the best in finance” in the current environment and cited its leadership role in the upcoming wave of IPOs. The stock has become one of the club’s largest positions after its strong performance, and Jim admitted it might make sense to cut the stake and lock in profits. At the same time, Jim took a more cautious attitude toward his club’s namesake, Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo rose on Thursday but is down for the year. He said the bank has yet to take advantage of many opportunities driving other sectors and is willing to cut long-standing positions to protect profits. 3. CrowdStrike fell about 7% despite delivering a beat-and-raise quarter the previous night. Jim believes investors are overlooking the impact that increased demand for cybersecurity will have in the coming quarters. “This[coming]quarter is going to be huge,” Jim said, arguing that many of the new deals CrowdStrike signed as companies responded to new AI-related security threats came too late to be reflected in the just-reported results. He expects these contracts to start circulating in coming quarters and suggested investors use the post-earnings weakness as an opportunity. “Tomorrow might be a good day to buy,” he said. 4. The stocks featured in Thursday’s rapid fire at the end of the video were Arm Holdings, Corning, Qnity, FedEx Freight, and Capital One.
