19 Stocks in Jim Cramer’s Game Plan For This Week

On Friday, host Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money, gave a game plan for the week as earnings season gets underway on Wall Street.

“Now, we bought a little bit of stock, not a lot, for the Charitable Trust today, and we only did so because there could be some of that art of the deal thing going on. Maybe something’s resolved over the weekend. Trump was reacting to still one more trouble point, another squeeze on rare earth minerals by President Xi to show the West who’s in charge.”

Even so, Cramer mentioned that the drop in stocks on Friday seemed excessive. He said that it is unlikely that U.S.-China relations will deteriorate so dramatically that they justify the day’s losses fully. He emphasized the economic interdependence between the two countries and noted that while both are impacted by tariffs, China is hit much harder.

At the same time, Cramer made a note of the seasonal dynamics in play as this part of the year often brings stronger performance in the markets. He expressed a reluctance to miss out on short-term openings, especially for companies that stand to gain from falling interest rates or whose stocks have been dragged down simply because they are included in the S&P 500. He mentioned that the index often pulls down all components in a broad selloff, regardless of whether a specific company is truly affected by the negative headlines or not.

“The bottom line: It’s a wild week, complicated by precipitous decline in Treasury yields, which normally would signal better times ahead. But after today, it’s hard to think of anything positive that can happen, and a lot of negatives that might definitely happen.”

19 Stocks in Jim Cramer’s Game Plan For This Week

19. SLB N.V. (NYSE:SLB)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 63

SLB N.V. (NYSE:SLB) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer ended the week’s game plan with the stock, as he commented:

“We also get results from SLB, the old Schlumberger, and I bet this oil service titan tells it like it is. To me, that means oil, which broke through $60 level, could break down below $60. I think it’s, I mean, I think it could go to $55, and that’s a distinct possibility.”

SLB N.V. (NYSE:SLB) provides technology and services for the energy sector. It offers solutions in field development, hydrocarbon production, carbon management, and energy system integration. The company delivers well construction, reservoir evaluation, drilling, and production optimization technologies. When a caller inquired about its stock during the July 8 episode, Cramer showed a bearish sentiment and said:

“Keep watching, no pull trigger. Why? Because I do not like the oil stocks. I don’t need them, don’t want them.”

18. American Express Company (NYSE:AXP)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 70

American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer said that after earnings, the stock usually declines, which presents a buying opportunity. He commented:

“Finally, Friday, well, we hear from American Express. This has one of the most reliably unreliable patterns. Amex has a tendency to decline right after it reports. Then you have to pounce because a week later, it turns out to be going much higher, and you’ve lost your chance. I don’t think it will be any different this time.”

American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) provides payment, financing, and expense management solutions through its credit and charge cards, banking, and merchant services. It also offers travel, lifestyle, and loyalty programs, fraud prevention tools, and airport lounges. During the September 22 episode, Cramer mentioned the company and remarked:

“Then there’s American Express, which just released a refreshed platinum card, you might have gotten it this weekend, that I’m sure will be a hit, especially with millennials and Gen Z. AMEX should have 12.6% earnings growth next year, just barely better than the market. And don’t be surprised if the actual earnings growth surprises to the upside. At the same time, it’s selling for less than 20 times next year’s numbers. That’s a bit cheaper than the overall S&P.”

17. CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 71

CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer mentioned the company as part of his game plan and said:

“After the close, we’re going to attempt to learn why CSX fired Joe Hinrichs. Not that long after that, he was named Railroader of the Year by Railway Age. I don’t know the details, but I’ll tell you something, it looks like Joe was railroaded.”

CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX) provides rail-based freight transportation, intermodal container movement, and trucking services.The company handles commodities like chemicals, coal, agricultural goods, and industrial materials. As part of his pick for his fantasy stock portfolio, Cramer mentioned the stock during the September 5 episode and stated:

“Finally, let’s round out our team with a kicker. This time, I’m taking a trendy pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little… How about CSX, the railroad company? I’m not saying this because CSX is based in Jacksonville, but because the company’s widely considered to be in play. The merger-friendly Trump administration looks ready to approve transcontinental railroad deals.

Union Pacific, already trying to buy Norfolk Southern. And now many speculate that CSX could be doing the same thing with Canadian Pacific or Berkshire Hathaway’s Burlington Northern. Now, we know there’s an activist shareholder pushing for some kind of deal, which would be like a 70-yard field goal as far as I’m concerned, for CSX shareholders. To be sure, I like CSX because I think Joe Hinrichs is running a great railroad, alright? Anything take-over related, icing on the cake.”

16. The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 100

The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. While discussing the stock, Cramer noted that more people are “coming back to stocks,” as he commented:

“Schwab gives us its numbers, too. And why do I want to look at this? Well, I like to look at retail participation in the market. I think more and more people are coming back to stocks, one of the reasons why I wrote my book, and I hope today’s meltdown doesn’t drive those people right back out. They won’t if they read it.”

The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW) provides wealth management, brokerage, banking, and advisory services, providing trading platforms, investment products, and financial planning solutions. While discussing relatively cheap S&P 500 stocks during the September 22 episode, Cramer mentioned the stock and said:

“Beyond the banks and the credit card issuers, Charles Schwab made the cut, and I’m a big fan of this retail brokerage house.”

15. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 187

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer has positive expectations from the company, as he stated:

“Thursday morning, Taiwan Semi reports. I usually get up at 2:30 in the morning because that’s when they report for heaven’s sake. This manufacturer of chips for both AMD and NVIDIA, and many others, will give us an overview, and I expect a very rosy picture.”

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) produces and sells integrated circuits and semiconductor devices. The company provides fabrication and other related services. Brown Advisory stated the following regarding Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

14. United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 73

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Mentioning the company, Cramer said:

“Wednesday evening, we get arguably the best possible read on this almost dataless economy when trucking giant J.B. Hunt and United Airlines report… United can tell us the difference between the front of the plane, corporate customers who pay a lot of money, and the back, where regular people do their flying.”

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) provides passenger and cargo air transportation through its mainline and regional fleets. In addition, it offers ground handling, flight training, loyalty program, and maintenance services. TCW Relative Value Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL), headquartered in Chicago, IL, is a major airliner that operates an extensive domestic and international route across the U.S. and six continents. Over the course of the investment, the company has modernized its fleet, increased its gauge, improved the customer experience through its UnitedNext premium experience across not only business class but premium economy and economy too. As UAL has the largest trans-Pacific exposure of all U.S. carriers, we believe emerging risk to its this business segment could reasonably emerge due to expected pressure amid trade tensions between the U.S. and Asia/Pacific economies. As a result of this risk, the position was eliminated.”

13. J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 37

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer noted that the company’s report could reveal the true state of the economy. He said:

“Wednesday evening, we get arguably the best possible read on this almost dataless economy when trucking giant J.B. Hunt and United Airlines report. J.B. Hunt tells it like it is. They’ve been talking about a freight recession for ages.”

J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) provides transportation, delivery, and logistics solutions, including intermodal, truckload, final mile, and freight brokerage services. During the April 8 episode, a caller mentioned that they have a small position in the company and Cramer responded:

“Okay, don’t want to be bigger than a small position. It is a transport, it is a trucking company and we could be going into recession and it’s not a good group going into a recession.”

Since the above comment was aired, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) stock has gained around 6%.

12. Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 59

Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer discussed the stock in light of tariffs. He commented:

“There’s also, get this, a Dollar Tree meeting. Okay, now this stock has been under pressure too, largely because of tariffs. It was barely down today, which seems too positive given that our president’s threatening to put… these 100% tariffs on China. I think they will get hurt, and numbers have to come down, and they’ll do it at the meeting.”

Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR) runs discount retail stores that sell everyday consumables, household items, and seasonal merchandise. The company’s products include food, personal care goods, toys, home decor, and party supplies. During the September 22 episode, Cramer called the stock a “buy,” as he remarked:

“After that, there’s Dollar Tree. Now that’s the only member of the consumer staples that I like from this list. I think Dollar Tree can win in this environment as a destination for lower-income consumers who are searching for value. I like that they finally spun off that weaker Family Dollar business. And with the stock selling for less than 15 times next year’s earnings with a 15% growth rate, again, that makes it a buy.”

11. Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 69

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer called the stock “terrific,” as he said:

“We also get results from one of the most reliable healthcare companies, Abbott Labs. We’ve owned Abbott for the trust for almost ever, and I think it’s just terrific.”

Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) develops, manufactures, and sells healthcare products, including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, nutritionals, and medical devices. Cramer discussed the company post-earnings during the July 17 episode and commented:

“Today, in an otherwise positive market, I was discouraged to get a mixed update from Abbott Labs, medical technology company that we’ve long owned for the Charitable Trust… I’d say two decades. When Abbott Labs reported this morning, the… results were perfectly solid. Management tightened their full-year earnings guidance rather than raising it while also taking down their organic sales growth forecast and their operating margin outlook.

A lot of investors, including me, have been hoping they’d raise these numbers, so the stock got clobbered down more than $11 or 8.5%. I thought it might’ve been down $15. That’s what I predicted. It didn’t get that low. As I’ve chronicled many times, this is a stock where we’ve really had to battle over the past several quarters. We’ve kept our faith for the Charitable Trust during some nasty litigation last year. The stock bounced back from that.”

10. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 67

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. During the episode, Cramer praised the company’s CEO, as he stated:

“We got to hear from more banks on Wednesday… But Morgan Stanley has been surprisingly positive for… [the] last several quarters. Ted Pick shooting the lights out over there.”

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) provides financial products and services including investment banking, wealth management, and asset management for institutions and individuals. After its last earnings announcement, Cramer mentioned the company during the July 16 episode and said the it posted a “very solid set of numbers.” He commented:

“Morgan Stanley, a healthy top and bottom line beat. All three of the divisions, institutional securities, wealth management, and investment management, beat expectations. And by the way, the wealth and investment management business here is on fire. They continue to see big inflows. They now have $8.2 trillion in combined total client assets. Sticky, fantastic business. Overall, very solid set of numbers from Morgan Stanley. Well, why didn’t it roar? Well, I think the company’s actually hurt by the fact it reported the same day as Goldman Sachs.

Goldman had a stronger performance than everybody in investment, banking, sales, and trading… Yet even Goldman couldn’t rally all that much today, so it’s no surprise that Wall Street shrugged at Morgan Stanley’s report and the stock pulled back 1.27%. That’s not a lot at all. Again, nothing wrong here, it just looked… less enticing right now than Goldman’s numbers.”

9. Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 115

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer did not show much enthusiasm while discussing the company’s earnings, as he said:

“We got to hear from more banks on Wednesday, and I’ve gotta tell you, Bank of America tends not to do all that much.”

Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC) provides banking, investment, and financial services for consumers, businesses, and institutions. The firm offers lending, wealth management, trading, advisory, and treasury solutions. When a caller asked for Cramer’s advice on the stock during the October 6 episode, he responded:

“Let Bank of America ride. It’s very inexpensive. I think it can go much higher. I don’t think it’s going to be stuck at this level, and I like the way the financials trade very much. You’ll do well with Bank of America.”

Additionally, during the July 24 episode, Cramer praised Bank of America Corporation’s (NYSE:BAC) massive buyback plan. He commented:

“Now these aren’t flash. When Bank of America announced a $40 billion buyback the other day and nobody even notices, I regard that as a terrific sign. We want boring, we want no flash, we want gray flannel suits, and that’s just what we’re getting to fuel this rally. So yawn away, but be sure to do some buying.”

8. Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:DPZ)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 42

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:DPZ) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer highlighted people’s pessimism around the company’s earnings, as he remarked:

“Domino’s reports too. Now, this is interesting. A lot of people think they’re going to miss the quarter.”

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NASDAQ:DPZ) operates and franchises pizza restaurants under the Domino’s brand that sell pizzas, sides, sandwiches, pastas, and desserts. During the July 22 episode, Cramer advocated for a stock split while discussing the company, as he stated:

“Sometimes a company reports, and Wall Street can’t seem to decide whether to send the stock in question higher or lower. That’s exactly what we saw yesterday morning when we got results from… Domino’s Pizza… and the market’s initial reaction was overwhelmingly positive… Throughout the session, Domino’s flipped through positive, negative, positive, before ultimately closing lower by less than 1%. Then today it rallied… Okay, I thought this was a good quarter…

I’m much more focused on the market share gains and strong same-store sales… Stuffed crust pizza isn’t anything new, but apparently Domino’s did it very well because this was the biggest launch in company history, exceeding all of management’s expectations… I think it’s helping them pick up some market share. At the same time, Domino’s represents a terrific value proposition… See, Russell (CEO Russell Weiner) was spot on about the company’s growth drivers in the second quarter when I spoke with him in April.

I bet he’s correct when he says he’ll be able to leverage the scale of this chain to continue delivering growth in the future. That’s something the bears seemed to overlook yesterday, but it appears the market’s starting to recognize it today as the stock really was roaring back… I think that people are underestimating when he says things are the best ever, he means it.

Bottom line: I like what I’m seeing from Domino’s and trust that management can use all the tools at their disposal to sustain their growth, which means this stock could have quite a bit more upside. The only thing that may be missing, listen, Russell, is a stock split. Now I know splits don’t create any actual value. I know the institutions don’t like them, but the same people who buy Domino’s Pizza would be willing to buy the stock if it was 48 instead of 480. Come on, Russell. Show those institutions that you work for, the shareholders and the pizza buyers, who often are the exact same people.”

7. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 95

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer expects the most from JNJ out of all the companies in the pharmaceutical industry, as he commented:

“Beyond the banks, we hear from Johnson & Johnson, which should have the strongest numbers of any pharmaceutical company. The stock shrugged off a bad loss in one of those talc lawsuits where the plaintiff accused J&J of knowingly selling a product that contained a carcinogen, asbestos. I think that the stock didn’t go down, but actually went up… decided the stock’s finally stopped being hostage to these interminable lawsuits.”

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) develops, manufactures, and markets healthcare products across pharmaceuticals and medical technologies. During the October 1 episode, Cramer highlighted his interview with the company’s CEO and said:

“What else might work? Last Friday on the show, we had Joaquin Duato. He’s the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, and he told a remarkable story about game-changing cancer drugs and medical devices, especially their excellent cardio products. Now, I’ve been worried about the talc lawsuits that they have, but I believe the risk from the asbestos and the baby powder litigation has crested as J&J’s been winning the cases, and it’s planning to keep fighting them one by one. Eventually, I bet the plaintiffs will realize it’s just too costly to keep on taking J&J.”

6. Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 102

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Commenting on the company during the episode, Cramer said:

“We get results from Citigroup as well. And I gotta tell you, close observers think that bank run by the affable, cerebral, Jane Fraser will put up the best numbers of all.”

Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) provides financial products and services across banking, markets, and wealth management. During the September 22 episode, Cramer highlighted the bank’s recovery under CEO Jane Fraser, as he remarked:

“Lots and lots of banks made the final list, and I really liked two of them, one big and one small. The big one is Citigroup. Boy, is that strong. It should grow at a 28% clip next year. It trades at just 10.5 times the 2026 earnings estimates. Well, that’s, that’s strange. Citi’s made a remarkable recovery under CEO Jane Fraser. And even though the stock’s had a huge run, it remains the cheapest of the big banks. That’s why that disparity, it’s going to close to the upside.”

5. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 124

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer showed optimism in the firm’s upcoming earnings, as he commented:

“Not to be outdone, JPMorgan reports too, and it should be a usual superb quarter. You may wonder why we don’t own that one for the Charitable Trust, too. Simple. One of the things you’re going to learn if you join the club, you can’t own them all. We already have four financials…”

JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) provides financial services, including banking, lending, payments, investment banking, and asset management. During the September 29 episode, Cramer discussed the stock in light of EA going private after a significant deal. He said:

“This morning, EA, the old Electronic Arts, got a $55 billion bid, the largest all-cash sponsored take-private deal in history. Silver Lake’s the prominent name among the buyers, but it’s PIF, the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, that’s putting up most of the money. Well, there’s a buyer for you… JPMorgan’s advising the buyers and providing $20 billion in debt financing. These are huge tickets. Big enough to influence the quarter for JPMorgan… JPMorgan stock is up almost 32% for the year… What makes me think there’s still room to run? Because the big banks are still cheap on earnings. JPMorgan, despite being at its 52-week high, sells at about 16 times earnings.”

4. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 73

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer highlighted his expectations for the company’s “upside surprise,” as he remarked:

“Tuesday, it starts earnings season like I tell you in How to Make Money in Any Market… This is the period that defines most stocks, the earnings season. Tuesday’s a big day for earnings. Just in the morning, we have three stocks we own for the Charitable Trust: BlackRock, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. All three have had a good run for the year, and they aren’t exactly in the crosshairs of the trade war. I think Goldman Sachs is liable to have the biggest upside surprise.”

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) provides financial advisory, investment banking, trading, and asset and wealth management services for corporations, institutions, governments, and individuals. When a caller asked for Cramer’s advice on the company’s stock during the October 6 episode, he replied:

“Buy. The stock is selling at a ridiculously low multiple still. It’s hovering around this level. People are getting nervous at this level. It’s going to blow through this level, and you’re going to wish that you got in right now.”

3. Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 75

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer noted that he hopes the CEO will announce buying back more stock. He said:

“Tuesday, it starts earnings season like I tell you in How to Make Money in Any Market… This is the period that defines most stocks, the earnings season. Tuesday’s a big day for earnings. Just in the morning, we have three stocks we own for the Charitable Trust: BlackRock, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. All three have had a good run for the year, and they aren’t exactly in the crosshairs of the trade war.… I hope Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf says he’s willing to buy back more stock if it comes down at these prices.”

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) provides financial services, including banking, lending, investment, and wealth management. During the September 29 episode, Cramer mentioned the company’s low valuation, as he commented:

“Wells Fargo’s up more than 20%… Now, though, banks are being valued on growth. I love buying growth stocks… Wells Fargo got a downgrade from Morgan Stanley amid a slew of upgrades… We own it for the Charitable Trust, and I think this is a real bad call. Wells under CEO Charlie Scharf hasn’t even [had] much of a chance to grow because it spent seven years under a Fed-imposed asset cap, punishment for the misdeeds of the previous management team. But now the asset cap’s gone, and Wells is working to become a growth bank with lots of capital markets exposure. And that’s why we’re sticking with it for the trust. What makes me think there’s still room to run? Because the big banks are still cheap on earnings… Wells Fargo does the same, just 14.”

2. BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 58

BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer mentioned the company during the episode and said:

“Tuesday, it starts earnings season like I tell you in How to Make Money in Any Market… This is the period that defines most stocks, the earnings season. Tuesday’s a big day for earnings. Just in the morning, we have three stocks we own for the Charitable Trust: BlackRock, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. All three have had a good run for the year, and they aren’t exactly in the crosshairs of the trade war.”

BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) is an investment management firm that provides portfolio management, advisory, and risk management services. During the July 28 episode, a caller inquired about BLK, and Cramer suggested buying the stock. He said:

“Alright, BlackRock is up in a straight line… as we know. It got hit. It shouldn’t have gotten hit as aggressively as it did. It only sells at 23 times earnings. I say only because it has tremendous growth and there’s very little risk. So I think it’s a buy. It’s come back. It was just last week it got to 1,130. It’s 1,117. It is [buy, buy, buy].”

1. Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 121

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) is one of the stocks in Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. During the episode, Cramer started his game plan with the stock and commented:

“Monday, we’ll be coming to you from the San Francisco Bureau as part of my annual pilgrimage to Dreamforce, Salesforce’s tech extravaganza. We’ll be sitting down with some of the most important people in tech, among others. It’s going to be amazing. I expect to get some clarity on the 100% tariffs the president will slap on China. The ripple from his comments turned into a torrent as the session went on, and I’m guessing he doesn’t want to see the stock market coming unglued here. The president likes things big and beautiful, not anemic and ugly…

What else? Well, Salesforce holds its annual meeting on Wednesday at Dreamforce, and this Charitable Trust holding has been under pressure. It is down astounding 27% for the year. I think it’s because AI eats software, as they say, a twist on software eating all of tech not that long ago. I’ll tell you how it is for what’s becoming a brutal stock to own when I go out to Dreamforce.”

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) provides customer relationship management and cloud-based tools that help businesses connect with customers. The company’s platforms include Slack, Tableau, and Agentforce.
