On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Amphenol Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) is a &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/APH/earnings">terrific&#8221; stock</a>.
On Oct. 23, Amphenol reported better-than-expected earnings for its fiscal third quarter.
When asked about Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>), Cramer said he don't like the copper stocks, and &#8220;copper doesn't yield a lot here.&#8221;
On Oct. 22, Freeport-McMoRan reported third-quarter FY24 results. Revenue stood at $6.79 billion, beating the consensus of $6.47 billion. Copper sales totaled 1.0 billion pounds, down 7% Y/Y and 2% above the July 2024 estimate, due to the timing of shipments and lower ore grades and operating rates in North America.
The Mad Money host said he likes Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>), but Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTRA#NYSE">CTRA</a>) is &#8220;far superior&#8221; to Devon.
&#8220;I don't know how you can really make a lot of money in that business, frankly,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about TransMedics Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMDX#NASDAQ">TMDX</a>).
On Oct. 28, TransMedics reported quarterly earnings of 12 cents per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of 30 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $108.76 million, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $115.00 million.
Price Action:
<ul>
<li>Freeport-McMoRan shares gained 1.3% to settle at $44.12 on Tuesday.</li>
<li>TransMedics shares gained 2.5% to close at $82.92.</li>

Truist Securities Downgrades Devon Energy to Hold, Lowers Price Target to $43

An &#8220;everything rally&#8221; powered Wall Street on Wednesday after the 2024 election results, with Donald Trump emerging as the clear presidential winner. The Republican Party reclaimed control of the Senate, while the House of Representatives leans Republican <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41778433/s-p-500-dow-hit-record-highs-after-trump-win-fear-index-drops-20">but remains undecided.</a>
The major U.S. equity indices – the S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100 – surged to record highs in early trading, as investor optimism grew on expectations of more favorable tax policies. 
The S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow posted gains of 2.3%, 2.4%, and 3.3%, respectively.
However, the real standouts were small caps and bank stocks, with investors turning to domestic businesses and U.S. banks in anticipation of potential tariff protections and further financial deregulation. 
The Russell 2000 jumped 5.5%, marking its largest single-day increase in two years. 
Large-cap bank stocks climbed 6%, while regional banks tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) soared 13%—both seeing their biggest one-day gains since November 2020, when the first COVID-19 vaccine was announced.
Clean energy stocks were among the day's worst performers, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) plunging 11% for its steepest drop since March 2020, as investors braced for potential rollbacks on green initiatives under the Trump administration.
In the foreign exchange market, the U.S. dollar initially rallied nearly 2% before paring gains to 1.4% as traders awaited a Federal Reserve interest rate cut on Thursday.
Treasury yields spiked as expectations rose for larger budget deficits under Republican fiscal policies and higher inflation due to potential tariffs. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 14 basis points to 4.41%, reaching a four-month high.
Gold prices fell 2.8%, silver dropped over 4%, while natural gas rose 3.8%. Oil prices remained steady.
In the cryptocurrency market, risk appetite thrived, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rising over 8% to reach a record high of $75,000. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 10%, and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) surged 14%, the strongest performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies.

Trump Media, Reddit, Devon Energy, Super Micro Computer, And Tesla Buzzing Among Investors On Election Day

Devon Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) reported financial results for the third quarter after the bell on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g41757702/devon-energy-reports-third-quarter-2024-results-and-declares-quarterly-dividend">key metrics from the quarter</a>.
Q3 Earnings: Devon Energy reported third-quarter earnings of $1.30 per share, beating analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $1.14 per share, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Devon said oil production reached 335,000 barrels per day during the quarter, about 4% ahead of the company&#8217;s previous guidance. 
The company said it generated $1.7 billion in operating cash flow and $786 million in free cash flow during the quarter before returning $431 million to shareholders. Devon repurchased $295 million of its common stock in the quarter and declared a fixed quarterly cash dividend of 22 cents per share, payable on Dec. 30 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 13.
&#8220;The Delaware Basin continues to be a great contributor to our success. The exceptional well productivity and cycle time improvements we continue to see in this basin contributed to production volumes surpassing our guidance while keeping capital expenditures below forecasted levels,&#8221; said Rick Muncrief, president and CEO of Devon Energy.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on DVN Options

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President Joe Biden leading the country for the last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today">nearly four years.</a>
With the 2024 presidential election nearing, here's a look back at the top performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, which was Biden's first year in the White House.
What Happened: Biden stepped down from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">the 2024 presidential election </a>earlier this year. While the current president won't be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if Kamala Harris is victorious in Tuesday's election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a> This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/top-10-best-performing-stocks-190949855.html">report </a>from InvestorPlace, and their sectors.
<ol>
<li>Devon Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>): 196.1%, energy</li>
<li>Marathon Oil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRO#NYSE">MRO</a>): 149.7%, energy</li>
<li>Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>): 143.1%, health care/biotech</li>
<li>Fortinet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>): 142.0%, technology/cybersecurity</li>
<li>Signature Bank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBNY#OTC">SBNY</a>): 141.5%, financials</li>
<li>Ford (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>): 137.5%, automotive</li>
<li>Bath &amp; Body Works (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBWI#NYSE">BBWI</a>): 133.7%, consumer discretionary/retail</li>
<li>Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FANG#NASDAQ">FANG</a>): 127.4%, energy</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): 125.5%, technology/semiconductors</li>
<li>Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>): 118.4%, industrials</li>
</ol>
The results above show that energy was a top sector in 2021 and represented several of the top-performing stocks for the year. Technology also had several companies on the list.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/signature-bank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Signature Bank</a>, which was the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history, was a top performer in 2017.
Investors should consider whether these past results could repeat if Harris is elected and begins her presidential term in 2025. Energy isn't often thought of as a segment that could do well under a Democratic president, but past results show that the sector could do well, at least in the first year.
Coincidentally, energy was cited as a potential poor sector if Trump wins the 2024 election based on the 2017 results. What likely happened in 2017, and what could happen again, is a run-up in stocks during the election year and a potential selloff in the year after as investors take profits.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
&#8220;I think you&#8217;ve got to watch this sector closely,&#8221; Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world's many adverse events.
