Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a “Morning Meeting” livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here’s a recap of Friday’s key moments. 1. Stocks were higher to end the week Friday, with the S & P 500 and Nasdaq on pace for their fifth positive session. The moves are benefitting large stocks including Amazon , Microsoft , and Apple . “I like what we’re doing because we stuck with the big caps,” Jim Cramer said Friday, adding the portfolio is well-positioned going forward. The market is also debating how much the Fed will cut interest rates at next week’s meeting. Jim said that lower rates are a windfall for housing-related stocks such as Club names Home Depot and Best Buy . 2. Shares of GE Healthcare edged lower Friday after GE Aerospace , which owns part of GEHC, is using its shares to pay off some debt through a secondary offering that was priced at $86. The company initially planned to sell 10 million shares but increased it to 15 million. The transaction is not dilutive to GEHC shareholders. GE Aerospace has periodically monetized its stake in GE Healthcare, which it retained partial ownership of following the 2023 spinoff. “When you have a new deal, it smashes the stock,” Jim said. “I don’t like the way any of this has been handled,” he added. We are not surprised the transaction pushed the stock lower so it doesn’t impact our investment thesis. 3. Semis had a strong rebound this week after Oracle ‘s strong quarter and then its investor day. The software giant raised guidance for 2026 and their above-consensus outlook for 2029 was a bullish signal on cloud growth and AI tailwinds. That’s a positive for Club name Nvidia , which is getting a do-over . A related market theme that Jim addressed is the buildout of data centers to handle the computing power needed for artificial intelligence workloads. Jim said that’s a win for two Club industrials: Dover for its cooling systems and Eaton for “plumbing,” its power components and electrical systems. 4. Stocks covered in Friday’s rapid fire at the end of the video were: RH , Adob e, Boeing , Halliburton and Uber . (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long HD, BBY, GEHC, NVDA.
