Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch audio feature in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Here’s today’s edition. Stocks remain resilient: We started to see some slipping back in the midafternoon but overall, markets remain resilient despite more mixed earnings reports and outlooks. We haven’t seen any broad pullbacks lately, and the reason why could be that stocks like the “goldilocks” scenario unfolding, as inflation data continues to be tame but economy growth strong. We’re heading into a big earnings week where 19% of the S & P 500 will be reporting, including five of the “Super Six” stocks, all but Nvidia , along with a Federal Reserve meeting. Not to mention the jobs report that comes out the first Friday of the month. This will likely be a market moving week. Earnings dominate: When we look at next week, Jim Cramer cautioned, “we have a problem that periodically occurs in our market…. there are just too many companies reporting.” Thursday, Amazon , Apple , and Meta are set to deliver results. “I’ve seen that those three are very hard conference calls and people make mistakes,” Jim added. But there’s a silver lining. “The real opportunity that comes from next week are the mistakes,” Jim said. “It’s almost better to do nothing the whole week,” he added. However, portfolio director Jeff Marks said, if there’s market weakness, “it could be an opportunity to buy companies that reported this past week or the week before that had solid numbers and are just being brought down by what’s happening in the market.” Those are the ones investors may have more confidence to buy because they already presented their outlooks, he explained. Top movers: Looking at individual stock movers in the portfolio, some our stocks on the upswing included Danaher , rising in reaction to strong commentary from Sartorius, we covered on Morning Meeting. Shares of Estee Lauder rebounded after LVMH reported strong results. Eli Lilly up too after the UK approved use of Mounjaro in a “Kwikpen” device. DuPont also higher Friday, but it’s been a bad week due to an awful first quarter outlook preannouncement. Bottom movers: On the downside, semi stocks Broadcom and Nvidia are lower with some profit taking in chip stocks after Intel offered weak guidance. Shares of Coterra are down on lower Oil and Natural gas. Apple down too possibly because of the weakness tied to new App Store changes in the EU – MS thinks its only a 1% hit to annual services revenue. And Stanley Black & Decker down as interest rates are higher Friday, which tend to move in opposite direction as stocks tied to the home.
