We itching to buy the dip in our cyber stocks because they shouldn't be down with the rest
Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Markets: The S & P 500 gave up its early gains and fell into the red Thursday. Rallies in mega-cap names like Apple and Nvidia weren't enough to keep the index up. After an initial burst around the opening on news that semiconductor companies may avoid harsh tariffs if they pledge big investments in the United States, stocks slid as the session progressed. More economically sensitive groups – like financials and consumer discretionary — fell, while more resistant sectors — like utilities and staples — outperformed. We're still less than one week removed from last Friday's weak jobs report, and the market is still trying to figure out how sturdy the economy is. Cyber selling: The cybersecurity group was getting crushed in reaction to Fortinet 's earnings report. Although the quarter was generally better than expected and management raised its full-year billings outlook, the stock plunged 25%, and several analysts downgraded their rating. What shocked the market was management's comments that the highly anticipated firewall refresh cycle — which means customers replacing and upgrading their equipment — was already 40% to 50% complete. Analysts thought a lot more upside was on the way, which is why several downgraded on the change in thesis. When a stock in a specific group plunges this much in a single session, it brings down its peers, even if the others have nothing to do with the reason why it's down. A lot of this has to do with the so-called ETFization of stocks, which is our way of explaining how the rise in trading of sector-based exchange-traded funds can distort individual stocks. For example, CrowdStrike dropped 5% on Thursday despite being cloud-native and not selling traditional firewalls. This does not make sense to us, and we're warming up to the idea of buying back shares that we sold in the $480s back in June. As for Palo Alto Networks , its stock was getting hit again on Thursday despite analysts at Morgan Stanley writing up a good note detailing the accretion of the CyberArk deal. Palo Alto does sell traditional firewalls, but never hyped up a refresh cycle as an important driver of its growth. Management's view of the traditional firewall market was always one of low but stable growth. Funny enough, CEO Nikesh Arora said some eight months ago on "Mad Money" that refresh cycles at other industry peers create opportunities for his customers to replace their old firewalls and consolidate on Palo Alto's platform. We are still interested in adding more Palo Alto when our trading restrictions allow. Up Next: Texas Roadhouse reports earnings after Thursday's closing bell. Two things we'll be watching are comparable restaurant sales and the impact rising beef prices have on margins. Other companies scheduled to report are Trade Desk, Take-Two Interactive, Wynn Resorts, Pinterest, and Block. There are no major earnings reports or economic releases scheduled for Friday.

Here's Why American Express (AXP) is a Strong Value Stock
It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. While you may have an investing style you rely on, finding great stocks is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores. These are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on value, growth, and/or momentum characteristics. Why Investors Should Pay Attention to This Value Stock Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks. American Express (AXP) Founded in 1850, NY-based American Express Company is a diversified financial services company, offering charge and credit payment card products, and travel-related services worldwide. AmEx earns revenue through both transaction fees and interest income, supported by a closed-loop payment network. Unlike open-loop peers (e.g., Visa or Mastercard), its integrated system allows AmEx to engage directly with both merchants and cardholders. This setup enables deeper customer insights, targeted marketing, and strong customer loyalty. AXP is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, with a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of B. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 19.6X for the current fiscal year compared to the Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry's P/E 11.9X. Additionally, AXP has a PEG Ratio of 1.6 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 18.6X. Value investors should also note AXP's Price/Sales ratio of 3X. Many value investors pay close attention to a company's earnings as well. For AXP, six analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.07 to $15.26 per share for 2025. AXP boasts an average earnings surprise of 4.6%. With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding AXP to their portfolios.
