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. U.S. equities again came under pressure Friday, putting the S & P 500 on track for its fourth-straight day of losses. The S & P fell 0.9% in midmorning trading, while the Nasdaq Composite was down more than 1%. Stocks have been held back by bond yields that have surged to 16-year highs, with that of the 10-year Treasury hovering just below 5%. Higher oil prices also weighed on stocks, with West Texas Intermediate crude up 0.8%, at $89 a barrel, on the back of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. 2. Next week, we run the earnings gauntlet with 10 companies in the Club’s portfolio reporting. On Tuesday, Danaher (DHR) reports before the opening bell, with inventory destocking in focus. Microsoft (MSFT) reports after the closing bell that day — with investors looking for growth at cloud business Azure — along with Alphabet (GOOGL), which is expected to deliver accelerating advertising revenues. When Meta Platforms (META) reports Wednesday after the closing bell, the market will hope to see the social media giant is keeping its expenses under control. At the same time, water quality business Veralto (VLTO) reports for the first time as an independent company, with margins a key theme. 3. On Thursday, industrial giant Honeywell (HON) reports before the opening bell in the wake of its recent portfolio realignment. Gas giant Linde (LIN) also reports Thursday morning, and a key area to watch will be green hydrogen projects. When Amazon ( AMZN) reports after the closing bell Thursday, we need to see that its cloud business, Amazon Web Services, is stabilizing. For Ford Motor (F), which also reports after the close that day, it’s all about keeping losses down at its electric-vehicle division. And, finally, Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) reports before the opening bell Friday, with the focus on progress the tool company has made bringing down costs and inventory.
