The stock market flips and tech falls out of favor — why this move may be hard to stop

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Market moves : Stocks were mixed Monday as money continued to shift out of high price-to-earnings multiple technology stocks that have outperformed this year and moved into cyclical areas of the market like energy, the financials, and industrials. It’s no wonder why the Dow Jones Industrial Average was higher Monday and the S & P 500 and Nasdaq were lower. For example, Club name Nvidia , the company at the center of the rally in artificial intelligence-related stocks, has quickly lost about 12% since hitting a closing high of $135.58 last Tuesday. It is worth noting that Nvidia has historically been prone to volatility at times. Conversely, the energy and utilities sectors — two of the worst-performing groups in June — charged higher. The oil rally was certainly helping our lone energy stock, Coterra Energy, which was nearly 4% higher on Monday. Next for tech : These rotations, which saw the Nasdaq recently lead and the Dow lag, have a habit of lasting a handful of sessions, making it hard to predict when and where those beloved tech stocks will stabilize. But what could turn the tide is a positive data point on industry spending later this week when Micron reports earnings. “People are picking apart the part of tech that’s been working and the Mag7 members except Apple. I think that this move will be hard to stop until we hear from Micron on Wednesday, which could tell us about actual demand and supply. I think that demand will stay strong,” Jim Cramer said Monday. Don’t chase : Still, the quick pullbacks in some of these AI names that were monster gainers over the past month is another reminder of why investors should be hesitant about chasing parabolic moves. This discipline is part of the reason why we trimmed Broadcom last week after it shot up after earnings. We ended up putting about half of the cash from that sale into Dover , an industrial company that can benefit as a second-order AI stock. Dover makes things that go into data centers, which are being upgraded and constructed at a fast clip to handle AI workloads. Record runs : As money rotated into other areas of the market, non-tech stocks like consumer products giant Procter & Gamble and off-price retailer TJX Companies reached all-time highs Monday. Industrial conglomerate Honeywell reached its highest levels back to late 2022. “Procter & Gamble might have the best consumer packaged goods profile and is barely up versus the rest of the group. I think it still has room to run,” Cramer said. Up Next: No earnings are out after the bell Monday. Cruise line Carnival reports before the opening bell Tuesday — and later in the morning, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence survey is released.
