Here’s what CNBC TV’s producers were watching as the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 extended their postelection rally, and what’s on the radar for the next session.

Citigroup’s Jane Fraser

  • On Friday, the bank’s CEO will be on with CNBC TV’s Sara Eisen in the 10 a.m. hour, Eastern.
  • Citigroup is up nearly 7% in four days. The stock is up 32% so far in 2024.
  • The stock hit a high on Wednesday but is already 2.8% from that high mark.
  • JPMorgan Chase, by the way, got a downgrade from Baird. Analyst David George thinks the stock will drop to $200, a roughly 15% decline from Thursday’s close. Year to date, JPM is up about 39%. The stock also hit a high Wednesday but dropped 4.7% from that level. 
  • “We find that expectations are quite high, with the stock trading at ~2.6x [tangible book value], 15% cap to assets, over 14x 2026 [earnings per share] estimates, and ~10x [pre-provision net revenue] — all close or at all-time highs,” Baird’s George wrote in his research report on JPM. “We know we are fighting the tape here, but believe it makes sense to sell the stock.”

Big moves

  • After this recent run, 22 of the stocks in the Nasdaq 100 are in the overbought category.
  • Booking Holdings is at the top of the list. The stock is up 3.6% week to date and up 18% in a month.
  • Gilead Sciences is second. That stock Is up 9.4% in four days, and it’s gained about 16% in a month.
  • Five of the 30 stocks in the Dow Industrials are seen as overbought. Goldman Sachs is tops, followed by Visa
  • Goldman Sachs is up 12% in four days. Shares are up roughly 18% in a month.
  • Visa is up 5.2% in four days. Shares are up 11.7% in a month.
