Jim Cramer sees pockets of 'turmoil' in the market — plus, the latest on Nvidia's plans for China

Jim Cramer sees pockets of 'turmoil' in the market — plus, the latest on Nvidia's plans for China

CNBC29-07-2025
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 Tuesday's key moments. 1. Stocks were slightly lower Tuesday morning, giving up some of the modest gains seen earlier in the session. Even when the S & P 500 was in the green, Jim Cramer called out some "turmoil" underneath the hood of the market, particularly in the health-care sector. The biggest mover to the downside in that cohort is Novo Nordisk , with shares plunging more than 20% after the GLP-1 maker slashed its 2025 sales outlook. The company lowered growth expectations for Wegovy in the obesity market and for Ozempic in the diabetes market. Club holding Eli Lilly is down 4.3% in sympathy. We trimmed our position in the biopharma giant Tuesday to mitigate our risk ahead of Lilly's own earnings report next week. 2. Nvidia hit a 52-week high earlier in Tuesday's session on the back of a Reuters report that said the artificial intelligence leader has placed an order with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. for 300,000 of its made-for-China H20 chips. Earlier this month, the Trump administration reversed a ban imposed in April that prohibited sales of H20 chips to the Chinese market over national security concerns. The new orders with TSMC adds to the existing inventory of 600,000 to 700,000 H20 chips, Reuters reported. Elsewhere, fellow chipmakers Advanced Micro Devices and Club holding Broadcom were solidly higher, as earnings from the likes of Cadence Design Systems cast a positive due on the broader AI trade. 3. Coffee giant Starbucks reports its third quarter of fiscal 2025 after the bell Tuesday. We're hoping to see a boost in same-store sales in the locations where turnaround artist CEO Brian Niccol has rolled out his "Green Apron Service" model, a strategy aimed at enhancing the customer experience. We'd also like to see how the company's labor investments are helping business operations and what the plans for its growth China business. Jim said he's "still not expecting big stuff" this quarter given the company is still in the early stages of the turnaround . Starbucks shares, which have trailed the market this year, were down nearly 1% Tuesday. 4. Stocks covered in Tuesday's rapid fire at the end of the video were: Boeing , United Health , Procter & Gamble , Merck , and Cadence Design Systems.

Activist investor Starboard builds over 9% stake in Rogers

(Reuters) -Activist investor Starboard Value said on Wednesday it has built a 9.3% stake in Rogers Corp as it seeks to push for changes at the advanced materials maker. Shares of Rogers were up 10% in extended trade. However, the stock has fallen more than 30% so far this year. Rogers, which makes advanced materials used in electric and hybrid cars, automotive safety, radar systems and other industrial applications, has a market value of about $1.28 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Reuters reported in 2023 that the activist investor was building a sizable stake in Rogers and was seeking seats on the company's board in its push for changes. The investor said it believes shares of Rogers, at the time of purchase, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Starboard had previously entered into an agreement with Rogers regarding the composition of its board and other matters, it said in a regulatory filing. Following the agreement, Starboard has engaged in discussions with Rogers' management and board regarding opportunities for value creation. The Wall Street Journal reported that Starboard had built a stake of over 9% in Rogers earlier on Wednesday.

MetLife's profit falls on less favorable underwriting margins

(Reuters) -MetLife posted a 16% fall in second-quarter adjusted profit on Wednesday, as weaker premiums offset gains from higher investment income. Adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues declined 6% in the quarter to $12.72 billion, weighed down by less favorable underwriting margins in life and non-medical health products. Meanwhile, the company's net investment income rose 9% to $5.7 billion in the quarter. Shares of the company, which have shed nearly 7% in 2025, were down 4.8% in extended trading. Risk-averse insurers typically hold bond-heavy investment portfolios, which offer better yields in a volatile and uncertain market environment. Founded in 1868, MetLife is one of the largest U.S. life insurers, offering a range of insurance, annuities, and employee benefit programs across more than 40 markets. Adjusted earnings available to common shareholders fell to $1.36 billion, or $2.02 per share, in the three months ended June 30. That compares with $1.63 billion, or $2.28 per share, a year earlier, on a constant currency basis.
