On Friday, U.S. stocks remained relatively flat, following a session where the Dow surpassed the 40,000 mark for the first time. While the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 reached intraday records on Thursday, they experienced a slight decline by the end of the day. Jim Cramer described the current market as “muted,” highlighting the lack of significant movement in any particular sector.
One upcoming catalyst that the CNBC Investing Club is keeping an eye on is Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report, scheduled for Wednesday. Known as a bellwether for the artificial intelligence industry, investors often look to Nvidia for insights into the AI trade. The Club believes that Nvidia’s performance could have a significant impact on market sentiment in the coming days.
Jefferies analysts recently upgraded DuPont de Nemours stock from a hold rating to a buy, causing the stock to jump over 2%. Additionally, the firm raised DuPont’s price target to $101 per share, citing favorable end markets like electronics. Analysts are optimistic about DuPont’s growth potential, forecasting a positive trend that could extend into 2026. The CNBC Investing Club agrees with this assessment and is closely monitoring DuPont’s performance.
Another key event on the horizon is Palo Alto Networks’ earnings report on Monday. Following a surge in the stock’s value, the Club decided to trim its position in the cybersecurity leader.
