Jim Cramer’s daily rapid fire looks at stocks in the news outside the CNBC Investing Club portfolio. Corning : Shares of the specialty materials company popped more than 10.5% on Monday after pre-announcing better-than-expected earnings. Management is now forecasting higher revenue and earnings-per-share on the high end of previous guidance for the second quarter. The company is set to report on July 30. Shares of Corning, which makes glass for Apple devices, reached their highest levels since February 2022. Tesla : Shares of the electric vehicle leader made a huge, 27% increase last week after the company delivered better-than-expected second-quarter production and deliveries. The stock jumped another nearly 3% on Monday. Cramer called the rally a short squeeze — meaning investors betting Tesla stock would go down were forced to cover as it ripped higher. JPMorgan : The bank caught a rare downgrade, with Wolfe Research taking its rating to peer perform from outperform (hold from buy) on valuation and exposure to lower net interest income given the threat of lower Federal Reserve interest rates approaching. Cramer said he’s concerned heading into JPMorgan’s second-quarter earnings Friday since there was a big sell-off following its Q1 release in April when the bank guided flat NII for 2024. “I don’t want the stock coming in hot,” he added. Domino’s Pizza : The pizza delivery chain was upgraded to an outperform rating from a neutral (buy from hold) at Baird. The analysts also raised their price target to $580 per share from $530. Baird sees the recent 7.4% pullback in Domino’s stock over the last eight sessions as an opportunity. They cited strong fundamentals, product pipeline, and management. Cramer thought this was a fair call since Domino’s CEO Russell Weiner is “crushing it.” ServiceNow : Shares of the enterprise software company took an over 4% dive on Monday after Guggenheim downgraded the stock to sell from neutral. The analysts said the company will get a boost from its generative artificial intelligence business in the second half of this year but won’t see that momentum into 2025. Cramer said the call was contrary to CEO Bill McDermott’s stance that generative AI offerings have been resonating with customers.
