Moody’s Downgrades Banks, Pharma Stocks Surge, UPS Cuts Forecast 8/8/23

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber began the hour by breaking down Moody’s decision to cut its ratings on 10 U.S. banks, which dragged on the broader markets and the financial sector. On the bright side, pharma names rallied after Eli Lilly reported better than expected profit and revenue. Shares of Novo Nordisk also surged after key trial data showed its drug Wegovy cuts risk of heart attack or stroke by 20%. Also in the mix: UPS cut its margin and revenue forecasts following weak e-commerce demand and the company’s new labor contract.
