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 Monday’s key moments. 1. U.S. stocks rose Monday, though they’re still having a rough August. Nvidia (NVDA), which has been slumping recently, jumped about 5.5% to start the week. Morgan Stanley reiterated Nvidia as a top pick heading into earnings, which the AI chip-making powerhouse is set to deliver on Aug. 23. On Monday, Jim Cramer pointed out that Nvidia is still a “highly valued stock,” reiterating what he discussed in his Sunday column about having some patience on the Club name. 2. Club name Coterra Energy (CTRA) was upgraded to overewight (buy) at Piper Sandler, which also boosted its price target to $35 per share from $30. Jim reminded members that the Club bought more CTRA on the dip the morning following its bad quarter. Jim also talked about GE Healthcare (GEHC) and its recent slide. He said GEHC is his “favorite stock in the portfolio right now,” adding “you should buy GE Healthcare.” We did last week . 3. Morgan Stanley defends Palo Alto Networks (PANW), taking the other side of the trade. The analysts said they see a more favorable setup into Friday’s earnings and investor update, as expectations have come down as the stock has dropped recently on a competitor’s warning. Morgan Stanley also thinks Palo Alto could potentially win its largest deal ever with Defensive Department. It could be worth an estimated $150 million to $200 million over the next five years.
