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 Monday’s key moments. Stocks mixed Danaher’s spin-off Stick with Eli Lilly 1. Stocks mixed, as bond yields rise U.S. equities were mixed Monday in midmorning trading, with Big Tech outperforming while energy stocks lag. The S & P 500 was down 0.23%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.42%. Monday’s choppy market comes as positive news over the weekend that U.S. lawmakers averted a government shutdown competes with another selloff in the bond market, pushing Treasury yields higher and weighing on stocks. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to just below 4.7%. Meanwhile, with the market still oversold Monday, per the S & P 500 Short Range Oscillator , we’re putting money to work by adding to our position in Coterra Energy (CTRA). 2. Danaher’s spin-off Club holding Danaher (DHR) has completed the separation of its environmental-and-applied solutions segment, known as Veralto (VLTO). On Monday, shareholders like us received one share of VLTO for every three of DHR as part of the tax-free spinoff. Following the spin, we lowered our price target on the new Danaher — which we expect to be a faster-growing, higher-margin business with more recurring revenues — to $250 a share, down from $280. We have a price target of $90 a share on Veralto, which is being added to the S & P on Monday. 3. Stick with Eli Lilly TD Cowen on Friday raised its price target on Club holding Eli Lilly (LLY) to $635 a share, up from $500, pointing to LLY’s above-average sales and earnings-per-share growth forecast through the rest of the decade. The firm, however, expects the pharmaceuticals giant to record a $2.3 billion in-process research and development (IPR & D) expense in the third quarter. Optically, this could create some confusion when the company reports third-quarter earnings in early November, but it has nothing to do with the fundamentals of the company. And any weakness on confusion around the IPR & D expense would be a buying opportunity. (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long CTRA, DHR, VLTO, LLY. See here for a full list of the stocks.)
