In this piece, we will look at the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

In his latest appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer spent nearly all of his show discussing stocks. As has been the case with most of his morning appearances in 2025, he discussed Wall Street’s favorite GPU stock in quite a bit of detail. While we’ve covered a lot of his remarks in our coverage of the stock in our next list, some points are worth mentioning in the introduction.

While Wall Street is focused on whether cloud and data center spending for the firm will materialize after China’s DeepSeek purportedly demonstrated lower training costs and by effect lower spending requirements, Cramer is focused on the firm’s Blackwell GPU.

For Cramer, while the Blackwell GPU is an impressive product, the timeline of its orders materializing is surprising. He commented on a recent share price target reduction by Citi to share that the only significant takeaway for him from the note concerned the orders. Before he read the note, Cramer kept “thinking that Blackwell, which is the next generation, is selling like mad.” However, reading the note surprised him as he learned that the first customer was only starting to receive the products. This leads Cramer to conclude that the money from the latest AI GPUs that the firm earns is “going to be much more forward and not now in front of us.”

Yet, he remains optimistic because the orders will materialize as Cramer believes “because obviously if you’re spending all this money you’re gonna get Blackwell.” The CNBC host then shifted the conversation to the importance of the Blackwell GPUs. After analyzing the GPU orders, “you say to yourself, why do you need Blackwell? Why do you need this incredibly important platform that has software?” he wondered.

The answer to this question, according to Cramer is because “you need it [Blackwell] for both inference and you need it for training,” even though according to him “There are people who said with DeepSeek you don’t.”

The GPU orders are particularly important when we analyze Cramer’s first remarks for the GPU stock after the DeepSeek stock market selloff. Orders are one key metric that Cramer believes investors should watch to confirm whether the damage done by the selloff is permanent. In a recent morning appearance, he outlined that “any [GPU] order pullback” is a key metric along with a potentially reduced focus on energy spending.

“When you go on to Costco, and you go on to Amazon, you find that there’s a lot of products that are being commoditized. But you can’t commoditize Barbie, David. Not a chance. I want you to know that. And they have a lot of movies coming it . . .they’re buying back stock furiously.”

7. Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q3 2024: 38

Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) is a chip design house whose products allow firms to create data centers and smartphone chips. In today’s AI-driven stock market where most investor attention has been on NVIDIA, the firm has sought to position itself as an AI CPU provider. However, with lofty expectations comes the risk of sharp downfalls and this was the case with Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM)’s stock this month. The shares dipped by 3% in premarket after the firm’s fourth-quarter earnings guided Q1 revenue at a $1.23 billion midpoint which failed to impress growth investors. Cramer commented on Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM)’s exposure to CPUs and how it’s outperforming AMD:

“Tomorrow, we’re going to hear from Arm. And you’re going to hear Arm saying listen we’re winning that arms race in CPUs too.

6. FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q3 2024: 41

FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC)’s shares were dealt a hefty blow in February when they dropped by a stunning 33% in one day following the firm’s fourth-quarter earnings.

“There’s a company called FMC. And that’s an agricultural company. It’s an old food machinery company, it’s based in Philadelphia. And the stock is down 35% today because they have inventory problems. Too much of the crop chemicals used for . . . corn, potatoes, and sorghum. I just remind that there certain industries that are in this economy that are seemed to just, I don’t know we have to stay close to ag[riculture]. That’s a very very bad number. And I’m kind of shocked because it’s a pretty reliable company. But the ag business maybe not as great as we think judging from the fact that they have a lot of insecticides, herbicides. So, stay close to ag.”

5. Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q3 2024: 51

Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) is a well-known food products company that sells items such as Oreos, Dairy Milk, and Toblerone. Like its peers, the firm closed 2024 on a muted note as high inflation dealt it with a double whammy. Higher cocoa prices meant that Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDLZ) struggled with cost inflation, while higher consumer inflation reduced the demand for its products. Cramer’s previous remarks about the firm have focused on cocoa prices. Here are his latest comments:

“Okay so Mondelez is emblematic of what’s happening here. This time, what’s playing havoc with them is high cocoa price. I thought they would come down. They haven’t come down. So what you have is you have this echo right through, we have Oreos, price of the Toblerone, anything from chocolates. So what happens David is people saying can they pass through the price increases. They kind of can. So their margins get squeezed. Very typical of what’s happening in this moment.”

“Okay so January’s not so good.”

“[On top line growth of 13.1%, total revenue of $2.8 billion and same store growth of 5.4% but stock still being down] No because they did talk about the future and the future was not great. January was not a good month. Negative month. A lot of people are going to hope that we’ve saved by the honey chicken. Which is incredibly popular. By the way, the costs were fine. A lot of people were worried about avocado. Turns out that they source 50% away from Mexico. That was good. They’re doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes that I think are very good to bring the costs down. But, Carl, when you have a weak January, people just say what have you done for me lately? And what have they done for them lately is not great. As much as I think Scott Boatwright’s doing a good job, what can I say, they didn’t shoot the lights out of the January.”

1. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q3 2024: 76

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is one of the most commonly discussed stocks on Jim Cramer’s morning show. The host believes that the firm’s upcoming quarterly earnings can deliver a positive surprise. He has also remained optimistic about The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)’s streaming business and the firm’s theme parks. Cramer’s latest remarks about the firm wondered about the recent selling pressure on the stock and praised The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)’s management:

“Disney was down hideously today. And I found myself saying . . .why are they selling it. So you dig, you dig, you dig, you speak to Hugh Johnson, you get a little back and forth, and then you realize, maybe they’re selling it because it’s wrong to sell.”

“They are looking at a particular line, in this case Disney+. No but Disney+ was, I mean there are many, many lines. And one of the things that’s happened is . . . there might be twelve important lines. One was bad. Disney+ because they decided they had a little bit more churn because they raised numbers. And then people say well wait a second, Netflix doesn’t have churn. And all I can say is, Netflix is a beast. And if you’re gonna go up against Netflix, you’re gonna make a comparison to Netflix, I mean that’s like making a comparison to 27 Yankees. Don’t do it.”

“[when Faber pointed out that Disney+ subs were falling] But at the same time I think Bob Iger would say, how many ships does Netflix have? How are the Netflix theme parks doing? I thought the theme park was supposed to . . hurricanes, everything was supposed to be. . .the gods turned on them. Obviously not the fires, it wasn’t this quarter. And I say, you know what, that’s a good business. Now Netflix doesn’t need it, cause Netflix walks on water. I mean Netflix is incredible. But when I look at what Disney’s doing, I say jeez you know, I thought that theme parks were too expensive. Obviously not.”

“They use Salesforce by the way, and they’re getting a lot more out of an individual customer. By the way, Hugh Johnson, formerly at PepsiCo, he runs a conference call, that says to me, what a pro. These guys are pros. I like that.”
