Cramer's advice after Starbucks' parabolic gains, plus Disney stock's next move
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 Wednesday's key moments. 1. U.S. stocks rose slightly Wednesday, the session "defined by a CPI that was very benign," said Jim Cramer. Consumer prices for the month of May came in below estimates, though shelter was a sticking point. Jim cited housing inflation as the reason why bond yields are relatively unchanged. Meanwhile, in trade news, President Donald Trump confirmed via Truth Social that an agreement with China was reached. According to the president, China will supply more rare earth materials and will face a 55% tariff rate. Trump noted the agreement is subject to final approval with himself and China President Xi Jinping . 2. Coffee chain Starbucks is up nearly 4% Wednesday after the Financial Times reported that the Club name has garnered tons of interest in its efforts to sell a stake in its China operations. The stock has made "a parabolic move," Jim said, since he suggested buying it when shares were in the $70's to low $80's. Investors who bought in at the time of his recommendation should "feel free to take some profits," he said. "Maybe you want to sell half up here [roughly $94 at midday] and let the rest run." As long-term owners, "we're not touching it," as we have faith in Brian Nichol's ability to turn the company around. 3. Disney is another Club name that's seeing a bit of momentum on the heels of a price target increase to $125 from $120 at Bernstein, pointing to a sum-of-the-parts valuation at $132 per share. Though Jim sees no path for a break up of the company, he agrees with the price target boost. "I think the stock can go to $125 before it even begins to get too expensive," he said. Disney announced Tuesday that it's taking full ownership of Hulu from NBC. 4. Jim called GE Vernova the best stock for investors who want exposure to the nuclear industry. The stock is up roughly 3% Wednesday. "The only consistent builder, the only one that has a lot of orders is who we own," he said. Jim acknowledged that the stock is expensive, hovering at about $480. "I wish they'd split the stock," he added. The Club first initiated a position in GE Vernova back in May due to its importance in powering data centers. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long DIS, GEV, SBUX.

Disney price target raised to $140 from $120 at Guggenheim
Guggenheim raised the firm's price target on Disney (DIS) to $140 from $120 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm, which updated its Disney model to better reflect a refined operating expense outlook at Linear Networks, modestly lower theatrical revenue from relative underperformance of recent films, better than previously forecast Sports advertising revenue and 'relatively resilient' attendance and travel trends in the Experiences segment, notes that it lifted its full year segment operating income forecast to $17.7B from $17.6B, which is 'modestly ahead' of consensus $17.65B. With Hulu now fully under Disney control, the firm views the company as 'well positioned to pursue a unified direct-to-consumer strategy' and further lean into bundle packaging to drive incremental revenue, the analyst added.

Jim Cramer Says Stay Away from This High-Yield Dividend Stock
Jim Cramer was asked about payments and data company Deluxe Corporation (NYSE: DLX) in a recent program. Here is what he said: "You said it right. They have been talking diversification for as long as I can remember. They came on the show once. They have an 8% yield. That means that something's very wrong. When you get a yield that's well above all the others, it's not good. I'm going to have to say X-nay Deluxe Corp (NYSE:DLX) . I wish they had been able to—one of the great growth stocks of the '80s." While we acknowledge the potential of DLX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
