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. There’s a rotation happening in the final hours of the trading day Friday where some of this year’s laggards that have beaten up since the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates have been playing catch up. Meanwhile heavy-weight tech stocks including Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) are down 1.6% and 0.75% respectively. The S & P 500 on track for fourth straight day of gains and three straight weeks of big weekly gains. Shares of Palo Alto Networks (PANW) are rebounding Friday after yesterday’s post-earnings pullback. The cybersecurity leader reported a strong fiscal 2024 first quarter Wednesday, but the stock faltered after management lowered its full-year billings outlook. If a billings outlook is lowered, it could be a sign the company is seeing worsening demand trends. The company blamed the high cost of money which is why customers are taking fewer duration contracts. Still, “demand is incredible and profits are strong” Jim Cramer said. This is the highest growth area of the economy and that’s why we thought the pullback was a buying opportunity. (See here for a full list of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust.)
