Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer led off the show with Apple shares jumping on a Q2 beat and revenue guidance. The discussion also focused on Apple's future, with John Ternus set to succeed Tim Cook as CEO in September. The anchors also explored what to expect from the markets in May, with both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 coming off their best month since 2020. Exxon Mobil and Chevron posted better-than-expected Q1 earnings, but profits fell by double digits due to oil shipment disruptions related to the Iran war. Also in focus: Roblox plummets, Reddit and Roku rally, Western Digital's results and the stock's parabolic run, a preview of Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting — the first with Greg Abel as the company's CEO.
