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 Wednesday’s key moments. 1. The stock market was flat in morning trading after a strong start to the week ignited by the United States pausing its trade war with China and a new partnership with Saudi Arabia. “I think today could be a reversal day,” said Jim Cramer, pointing there is nothing new for the market to run higher. The S & P Oscillator is still in overbought territory, meaning stocks may be due for a pullback. This is one of the reasons we trimmed our position in Wells Fargo , which is up roughly 8% this year. 2. The Club is looking forward to Capital One closing its deal with Discover , expected on May 19. According to Bloomberg, there are 16 buys, seven holds, and one sell on the stock by Street analysts. The 12-month price target consensus is about $213.59. The big number that a lot of analysts are using is $25 in EPS power in 2028, up from the $15.75 analysts expect it will earn in 2025. That’s a 3-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.65%, noted Jeff Marks, director of portfolio analysis for the Club. Jim said he’s hopeful Capital One CEO Richard Fairbank can reinvigorate Discover Network, the global payments business. 3. GE Vernova , our latest addition to the portfolio, is up nearly 4% since the Club initiated a new position on Tuesday. Susquehanna analysts raised the company’s price target by $100 to $499 following its $14.2 billion gas turbine and energy solutions deal with Saudi Arabia. Jim pointed out that instead of only buying planes, countries are also purchasing to bring their trade deficits with the U.S. down. There’s also a need for energy infrastructure on a global scale, said Marks. For investors who didn’t buy shares yesterday, “GE Vernova has to be bought on the way down,” said Jim. 4 . Stocks covered in Wednesday’s rapid fire at the end of the video were: Merck & Co ., Abbvie , American Eagle Outfitters, Nucor , and Advanced Micro Devices .
