Cramer Gives Vistra His Blessing, Backs Stryker, Steers Clear Of AI-Exposed FICO

Avi Kapoor — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 12:23:23 +0000

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer recommended buying Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST), adding it “went too high. It's come back down. I'm going to bless it.”

On the earnings front, the company, on May 7, posted GAAP first-quarter net income of $1.029 million, while ongoing operations Adjusted EBITDA came in at $1,494 million.

Cramer said, “I kept thinking that there would be a consolidator and Stryker (NYSE:SYK) would do the consolidating.” However, that has not come to pass.

On June 5, Leerink Partners analyst Mike Kratky maintained Stryker with an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $410 ...

Jim Cramer Calls CAVA 'Tasty, Clean, Fun,' Says Make This Biotech 'Your Speculation'

Avi Kapoor — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 11:50:05 +0000

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer recommended buying CAVA Group, Inc. (NYSE:CAVA). “I think it's the best of the new concepts. I think there's something there for everybody. There really is. It's tasty, clean, fun,” he added.

Jim Cramer On SpaceX's Wild Rally: 'This Stock Might As Well Be Called Elon Musk'

Namrata Sen — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:17:44 +0000

The recent surge in Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) shares is more a testament to Elon Musk‘s transformative business acumen than the company’s current earnings, says CNBC’s Jim Cramer.

Cramer opined that the company, potentially facing losses for years to come, does not warrant such a high valuation on its own. “The stock is called SpaceX, but it might as well be called Elon Musk,” he said. “It only gets there because it's run by Musk.”

In another instance, he also said SpaceX is trading like a “meme stock” similar to GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME).

Despite Musk’s prediction of SpaceX generating an annual revenue of $1 trillion by 2030, Cramer thinks the stock’s allure goes beyond any single projection. He posits that investors are valuing Musk’s history of establishing industry-defining businesses and his knack for converting ambitious concepts into commercial opportunities.

Notably, a previous report indicated that the company reportedly recorded a loss of nearly $5 billion last year, despite raking in over $18.5 billion in revenue.

However, Cramer ...

Jim Cramer Has Meme Stock Worries About SpaceX, While Ross Gerber Says 'No One' Is Talking About Tesla Anymore

Shomik Sen Bhattacharjee — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 07:21:24 +0000

Investor Ross Gerber said Tuesday that market chatter has shifted away from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and toward SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX), arguing that Elon Musk's newly public space company now offers investors the more compelling story.

Gerber Says SpaceX Owns Musk Narrative

"No one wants to talk about Tesla anymore. Just SpaceX SpaceX. Why blame them, it is a more exciting story…" Gerber wrote on X.

No one wants to talk about tesla anymore. Just SpaceX SpaceX. Why blame them, it is a more exciting story… $SPCX $TSLA

— Ross Gerber (@GerberKawasaki) June 16, 2026

The Gerber Kawasaki investor made a sharper version of that argument Monday in a Bloomberg interview, saying Tesla is "worthless" without a merger with SpaceX. In April, he suggested such a transaction would likely look less like a merger of equals and more like SpaceX absorbing Tesla into a broader Musk-controlled structure.

Shares of Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) jumped 10.23% to $212.19 in early pre-market trading on Tuesday, pushing its valuation to an astonishing $2.78 trillion.

The massive spike caught the attention of Jim Cramer, who noted that eager investors “can’t stop buying” the hot stock, while legendary fund managers Ron Baron and Gavin Baker, tracking the long-term fundamentals, hailed Elon Musk‘s enterprise as the ultimate AI “token factory.”

Premarket Frenzy And New Valuation Milestones

Based on the closing market capitalization of $2.519 trillion on Monday, this pre-market rally to $212.19 on Tuesday stacks on an additional $258 billion, elevating the company’s total market value to roughly $2.777 trillion.

Commenting on the pre-dawn liquidity squeeze, Cramer posted that buyers are “going nuts for SpaceX” in 24-hour trading windows. Cramer added that without heavy institutional sellers arriving to defend the tape, motivated buyers could easily “walk this one up billions and billions of dollars higher.”

The buyers, right now, 4 a.m. are going nuts for SpaceX, taking it through $210. They just can't stop buying and as you can imagine, there are no sellers of size around at ...

Jim Cramer Wonders If Nvidia's Reported $20 Billion Debt Raise Signals An Apple-Style Buyback Strategy Because Stock Is 'Too Cheap'

Ananya Gairola — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 05:13:14 +0000

Nvidia Corp’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported plans to raise at least $20 billion through a bond offering have sparked speculation on Wall Street, with Jim Cramer questioning whether the AI chip giant could be borrowing money to fund stock buybacks similar to Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) long-running capital return strategy.

Cramer Draws Apple Comparison After Nvidia Debt Filing

Nvidia is seeking to raise at least $20 billion through a debt offering, marking the chipmaker’s first bond sale since the AI boom took off, CNBC reported on Monday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

The company disclosed plans for a capital raise in an SEC filing, but did not specify an amount.

The Jensen Huang-led tech giant previously said it could issue up to $25 billion in unsecured commercial paper and sources said the debt offering could ultimately approach that figure.

Reacting to the report, Cramer asked on X, “Could Nvidia’s bond sale mean that it is going like Apple and starting to buy in its own stock as it is too cheap?”

Avi Kapoor — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:05:09 +0000

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer recommended buying Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:CEG) as the stock has “come down way too far.”

According to recent news, Constellation Energy announced on June 1 an underwritten public offering of 11 million shares.

ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE:MAN) has “never really been a great win” for him, Cramer said.

On April 30, ManpowerGroup announced the sale of its Jefferson Wells U.S. business to Sikich for a transaction value of $100 million.

Jim Cramer Says SpaceX's Mega Debut Could Unleash A Wave Of AI Deals In The Week Ahead

Mohd Haider — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 09:07:15 +0000

CNBC’s Jim Cramer warned Friday that SpaceX‘s (NASDAQ:SPCX) historic market debut could accelerate a fresh wave of AI equity offerings, potentially setting a constructive tone for stocks in the week ahead.

Elon Musk's aerospace company ended its first trading session at $160.95 per share, giving it a valuation of roughly $2.1 trillion. The figure immediately prompted comparisons with the world's largest public companies. The debut also drew massive retail interest, with Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) reporting record-breaking platform traffic and brief service disruptions.

AI Offering Window Could Swing Open

Cramer argued the landmark listing may prompt Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI model, which filed confidentially for an initial public offering earlier this month, to speed up its timeline.

Jim Cramer Shrugs Off Investor Panic Over Oracle's $40 Billion AI Funding Plan, Says That's Not 'Outrageous' When You See Its Massive Backlog

Rishabh Mishra — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 12:43:19 +0000

Oracle Corp.'s (NYSE:ORCL) stock slid over 8% in premarket trading Thursday as investors panicked over a plan to raise $40 billion to fund AI infrastructure, but CNBC’s Jim Cramer is defending the software giant, arguing the financing isn’t "outrageous" given the company’s $638 billion backlog.

Backlog Vs. Funding Fears

The sharp selloff—following a 10% tumble in after-hours trading—highlights a growing rift on Wall Street regarding the massive cash burn required to scale artificial intelligence clusters.

While the tech giant reported a blockbuster remaining performance obligation (RPO) of $638 billion, a figure highlighted by Futurum Equities’ Shay Boloor as “absolutely wild,” the simultaneous $40 billion debt and equity financing announcement spooked the market.

Cramer pushed back against the bearish sentiment on social media, emphasizing that high-performance AI data centers are incredibly capital-intensive by nature.

Watch Oracle. It was a gigantic number when it came to backlog. Huge. So spending has to go up. (not a traditional levered-so-backlog spend as these are so hard to build.) BUT they can lay off what they need to lay off and the funding needs aren't outrageous. It doesn't have to…
