Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber led off with a big story: Johnson & Johnson announced it plans to split into two companies, separating its consumer business from pharmaceuticals and medical devices. What does history tell investors about the stock performance of companies that break up -- and will this trend continue in the pharma sector? A big week for the electric vehicle space as Rivian's valuation surpasses $100-billion, giving the company's founder and CEO R.J. Scaringe a stake worth about $2.2-billion. The anchors also reacted to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's tweet that taunted Rivian with a message about the "true test" of success. Also in focus: Mark Zuckerberg gets trolled in an Icelandic tourism ad mocking his "Meta" name change announcement, Nvidia gets downgraded, and MSCI CEO Henry Fernandez on everything from China trends to rating companies' commitment to ESG, and what’s at stake for investors.
