Summary

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber engaged in a wide-raging discussion about better-than-expected quarterly results from "Magnificent 7" tech giants Meta Platforms, Tesla and Microsoft. Shares of Meta surged as its plans for AI overshadowed concerns about a boost in capex. Tesla also saw its shares rise: The anchors reacted to the electric vehicle maker's decision to shelve the "Model S" and "Model X" — and shift toward producing robots. Microsoft shares tumbled on slowing cloud growth and a boost in AI spending. Honeywell CEO Vimal Kapur joined the program to discuss earnings, AI and the company's spin-off strategy. Also in focus: IBM and Caterpillar among the earnings winners, gold and silver hit new all-time highs. Squawk on the Street Disclaimer
