NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer was focused on. Cramer discussed the company’s earnings and the following market reaction during the episode, as he said:

“The looming NVIDIA quarter dominated the market’s mindshare in a very negative way. So when NVIDIA actually reported after the close, it’s kind of an anticlimax. The company reported a healthy top and bottom line beat with robust guidance for the current quarter, that’s including any new Chinese business now that they can sell decent chips there. But NVIDIA’s all-important data center sales came in a tiny bit light, surprising, and frankly fitting the negative rap that we’ve been hearing. So the stock got dinged in after-hours trading. I think that’s mostly because it was up 35% for the year going into the quarter, and expectations were indeed sky high. But that’s the Charitable explanation… All in all, though, in reality, it’s a good quarter…

I want to explain why, even after this poorly received NVIDIA quarter, I think AI’s worth every penny… Now I’m hearing that what we call the hyperscalers, the companies spending fortunes on NVIDIA, you know, the ones that are writing the checks to NVIDIA, are part of the AI bubble… People are wondering whether the money being spent on NVIDIA is finally peaking and petering out. Now, I want to stipulate some things. First… the hyperscalers are run by the smartest people on Earth. Second, they have the better balance sheets than any country in the world…

Is NVIDIA fooling everyone? Is Jensen Huang fooling everyone? Are the valuations all way too big there? Listen, we heard the same thing about the dot-com survivors at the turn of the millennium… If you give up on NVIDIA now, I think you could miss a boat that’s not sinking, just resting before it reasserts itself. So I say own it, don’t trade it.”
