Jim Cramer said Microsoft shares could bottom Wednesday — and out of all the megacap tech stocks, this Club name is the one to buy. Wells Fargo also highlighted Microsoft's cybersecurity business. Similar to others in the sector, Microsoft's cybersecurity business can continue to rake in major corporations as clients as the threat of hacks and breaches remains elevated. In 2023, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the company's cybersecurity business had surpassed $20 billion in revenue over a 12-month period.

The good news outweighs the bad Seasonality aside, the market is riding a wave of momentum, and with good reason: 1) The market "broadening" trend is very real.

Most importantly, the Equal-Weight S&P 500 (RSP) modestly outperformed the S&P 500 in August and closed Friday at an historic high.

☆ Jim Cramer examines triggers for last week's 'opaque' sell-off
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-12 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday reviewed what could have lead to last week's massive sell-off, telling investors the declines may have been facilitated by failed market strategies from larger institutions. Japan's stock market also declined sharply, with the Nikkei seeing its worst day since the "Black Monday" crash of 1987. To Cramer, last week's declines might have been caused by money managers from a variety of firms who used Japan's low interest rates to borrow money an invest in other global assets. "We've had so many sell-offs based on mistaken strategies by large institutions," Cramer said. "Let's remember last Monday's selloff and consider that it might've been about nothing more than flailing money managers, which is often the case with these big market meltdowns."

Morgan Stanley's preference for defensive quality stocks has only increased since June, even as major U.S. indexes have continued to reach new highs.

Bannister said Stifel's year-end target of 5,000 for the S & P 500 "seems appropriate right now" given the July jobs data and delayed Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. In early June, Bannister said the S & P 500 could drop to approximately 4,750 before the end of the third quarter of this year.

The new market theory was that investors would sell some of their high-flying technology winners and buy small cap laggards primed for a comeback when the Federal Reserve begins cutting rates. But on Thursday, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite lost more than 2% , and the Russell 2000 small-cap benchmark lost even more. "If you look in small caps, they don't have their earnings follow through. The senior global market strategist said he's unfavorable on small caps as the stocks lack strong fundamentals and many fail to generate a profit.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell ended a press conference in which he gave markets exactly what they anticipated he would say. The Fed left rates unchanged, noted that job growth was weaker but still strong and hinted it was slowly winning the war on inflation. Powell, in his press conference, said "the labor market has come into better balance, and the unemployment rate remains low. If there was any doubt he was feeling better about inflation, Powell later said, "we have growing confidence that we are on a sustainable path to two percent," the Fed's long-term target for inflation. The consensus as we entered July was that inflation was still a very real danger and that the Fed may keep rates higher.

Even though many megacap tech stocks continue to nose dive, CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday told investors not to forget they are still solid companies. "Never forget, though, that you're selling winners, actually bona fide winners, for stocks that were losers just two weeks ago. That's why Wall Street had favored them over the past few years as the Fed kept rates high to combat stubborn inflation, he continued. For now, Cramer argued, Big Tech outfits are "just very strong businesses with suddenly very bad stocks." "The Magnificent Seven, the companies, will be doing just fine regardless of where the Fed takes interest rates," Cramer said.
