Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, said on Tuesday that investors need to be careful as concerns grow about disruption from artificial intelligence.
What do we really want? Well, we want companies that make things and do stuff that we can understand. We want to avoid stuff we can’t or don’t comprehend, because if you can’t get your head around it, then it’s probably the kind of stock that Anthropic can knock off, can wreck with a simple press release.

Cramer emphasized that he is not interested in companies burdened with heavy assets and low obsolescence. Instead, he said investors should focus on businesses producing goods that are scarce and in high demand. He added that the companies currently making some of the most sought-after products globally are those manufacturing memory devices used across a wide range of technologies, especially artificial intelligence applications.
The bottom line: I know it’s a small list, but they all make things and do stuff we can understand, and they’re all in demand. There are others. I can’t think of them right now. That’s because Anthropic right now is in my vagus nerve right here, and it’s threatening my whole cerebellum right here.

12 Stocks Jim Cramer Commented On
12. Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:POWL)
Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:POWL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer commented on. A caller mentioned that they invested in the stock nine months ago at $172, and asked what do with their position after a 214% upside. Cramer replied:
I want to know what you tell me to do, man, if you nailed Powell there. We did like the stock. I want you to take off one third of it, then you’re playing the rest with the house’s money, and don’t ever touch it again.
Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:POWL) manufactures custom electrical systems, such as power control rooms and circuit breakers for industrial markets. It also provides support services. A caller asked for Cramer’s opinion on the stock during the August 25, 2025, episode, and he replied:
Oh man, you know this guy, might be the man. This thing is such a great, I saw it. It’s the great industrial energy infrastructure stock that I wish I owned for the trust. Wow, great call.
It is worth noting that since the above comment was aired, Powell Industries, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:POWL) stock is up by over 116%.
11. Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT)
Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer commented on. When a caller asked about the stock, Cramer commented:
Okay, not a great quarter, and it’s, people are worried about that it’s going to be Anthropic that… can go after them too easily. We’re going to have to, we’re going to have to say no to that.
Gartner, Inc. (NYSE:IT) is a research and advisory company that provides subscription-based insights, expert access, consulting services, and executive conferences. Cramer commented on the stock during the January 5 episode. He said:
Finally, the fifth worst performer in the S&P 500 in 2025 was Gartner, oh my god, this was formerly a really hot stock, the tech research firm down almost 48% last year. Gartner produces detailed research reports and offers advisory services for its mostly enterprise customers, helping them choose what technology products are right for their business. Now, this is another company that I think has been hammered by the rise of AI, which makes it easier for businesses to access this kind of information on their own. No need for research middleman like Gartner I guess. I don’t feel compelled to stick my neck out on this one at all.
