How Jim Cramer would play GE Vernova swoon, plus 2 industrials to watch

Every weekday, CNBC Investment Club with Jim Cramer hosts a “Morning Meeting” livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here’s a recap of Wednesday’s highlights. 1. Stocks fell Wednesday morning as company profits came in. The S&P 500 was nearly flat on Tuesday. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that his highly anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi may or may not happen. Jim Cramer said that none of the major market-moving developments in China business “give you the opportunity to evaluate how the actual companies are doing.” That led him to turn to Capital One, a stock he calls “one of our absolute favorite companies that we have in our portfolio.” The bank reported strong third-quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell, as credit quality performance improved. Although Capital One shares were up more than 3.5% on Wednesday at $225 per share, there’s much more upside, Jim said. “This is a stock that will go to $250 by the end of the year,” Jim said. 2. Jim said the more than 7% decline in GE Vernova shares was “not justified.” Shares of the energy equipment manufacturing company tumbled before the market opened on Wednesday despite an excellent third-quarter report. Jim encouraged investors to wait until tomorrow to start buying stocks; On that day, the Club can then start purchasing. GE Vernova will host an investor update on December 9, providing an outlook to 2028. This will act as a positive catalyst for the stock.

On Honeywell, Jim cautioned that the stock tends to trade lower post-report. We will be looking for an update on the critical aerospace segment, which failed to meet expectations last quarter. Honeywell shares have lost 7.5% this year. As for Dover, Jim called the stock’s 8.4% year-to-date decline “really wrong.” We remain patient as the company refocuses its portfolio on higher-margin, faster-growing businesses such as clean energy components, disposable biopharmaceutical products and data center cooling. Jim says both of these stocks are cheap. 4. At the end of the video, the stocks covered in Wednesday’s rapid fire were: Netflix, Vertiv, Texas Instruments, Intuitive Surgical and Thermo Fisher.
