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 Tuesday’s key moments. The Nasdaq on Tuesday shot up past 17,000 for the first time ever — driven by further gains in shares of Club name Nvidia . In response, Jim Cramer said, “Nvidia is capturing so much of the mindshare that maybe people are selling [the broader market] to make a bigger position in Nvidia.” Shares of the AI chip giant rose 5% — extending last week’s rally, which was spurred by another fantastic quarter , guidance and forward-looking commentary. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S & P 500 were both under some pressure — mirroring the divergence we saw last week. Apple stock climbed nearly 1% on Tuesday on signs of increased demand for the iPhone in the world’s second-largest economy. iPhone shipments in China surged 52% in April, a significant bounce back from March thanks to price cuts to its flagship device, according to new data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. But Jim said that investors shouldn’t take the report at face value. “I’m not buying it,” he said. “I think the direction is correct, but that’s just way too big.” He said iPhone shipment numbers are volatile and often inaccurate. UBS also pointed out that April tends to be seasonably soft and the big monthly increase only represents a gain of about 1 million units. Citi upgraded DuPont to a buy rating from a hold and boosted its price target on the Club name to $95 per share from $85. The analysts said DuPont’s recently announced plan to separate into three publicly traded companies should lead to more upside for shares. BMO Capital and Wells Fargo Securities also upgraded the stock last week. The Club shares similar sentiments to the Wall Street firms — saying a break up is a win for shareholders. “This is [CEO] Ed Breen’s ultimate plan to get the stock to $100,” Jim said Tuesday as shares traded around $82. We bought more DuPont shares on that optimism — and, separately, initiated a position in global manufacturing company Dover . (Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust is long AAPL, DD, DOV, NVDA.
