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. Markets dipped lower Friday after a rough week for the S & P 500 , which fell 1.7%. Investors are grappling with the potential impact of a Trump presidency, but Jim Cramer argued this “unease on Wall Street” is premature since we still don’t know how the economy will respond to the new administration. Meanwhile, energy and financials are the top-performing sectors, driven by hopes for deregulation and a pro-business environment. Coterra , our oil and natural gas play, stands to gain from increased drilling activity. Jim would “love to double down on Coterra” since data centers will turn more to natural gas to meet soaring energy needs. 2. Jim said he was nervous about Best Buy , the electronics retailer expected to benefit from the refresh AI-powered PC cycle. He’s concerned about how potential China import tariffs under a Trump presidency would squeeze Best Buy’s operating profit, since many electronics sold by the retailer are manufactured in China. Jim debated on Friday whether to trim Best Buy, but hesitated since it is more of a 2025 play. With a small 2% stake in the company, we’re opting to keep a close watch on sales trends, especially as the latest retail data shows strength in electronics and appliances — an encouraging sign heading into the holiday shopping season. 3. A bright spot in a down market is solar company Nextracker . Solar stocks rose Thursday after a Reuters report suggested clean energy policies under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act “will be tough to roll back” as companies have already poured money into the programs. Nextracker rallied more than 6% Thursday on hopes that solar might be spared. However, the stock gave up some of those gains Friday, slipping 3%. Jim pointed out that Trump isn’t against solar companies, but rather he’s against the parts made overseas. Nextracker’s solar solutions are made in the U.S. 4. Stocks covered in Friday’s rapid fire at the end of the video were Berkshire Hathaway and Alibaba . (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long CTRA, BBY, NXT. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
