Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q1 2025: 61

United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) is an American steel company headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As has been the case with its peer Nucor, the firm has featured regularly in Cramer’s morning show in 2025. The CNBC host has commented on United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) in the context of the firm’s acquisition by Japan’s Nippon Steel. Cramer’s previous comments have seen him advise viewers to invest in Nucor instead of US Steel. He has also been vehemently against Nippon’s attempt to buy United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) as he believes the Japanese firm has dumped steel in the US market to depress steel prices and hurt American manufacturers. His recent comments came after co-host David Faber remarked that the deal for US Steel was about to close:

“Well I think that I wanted it [CLF] to win because I have been very suspicious of Nippon Steel which has had a history I believe of dumping in our country. And that is I’m getting that Dan DiMicco, the former CEO of Nucor who has continually told me the kind of dumping that we’ve seen around the world.”

Cramer has asserted previously on multiple occasions that he prefers Nucor over United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X). For instance, he commented on one occasion:

“And Nucor, when I see these numbers I always want to buy Nucor not letter X. I know I think that the President, the administrative team is against Nippon Steel because historically the Japanese have subsidized dumping steel in our country. I think that Vice President Vance could play a role here, because he knows that area where steel is.”
