We recently published a list of 8 Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar Recently. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently.
On Wednesday’s episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer reviewed the recent developments affecting drug distribution companies and laid out why he is turning cautious on the group. He pointed out that stocks of major drug distributors have retreated from their all-time highs.
“Most of the time, that’s because of vague, amorphous concerns that some type of regulatory crackdown will force them out of business or, at the very least, make them a lot less profitable.”

Cramer referenced the executive order signed by the President last week aimed at lowering drug prices, which triggered a sell-off across the drug distribution sector. He explained that the order would effectively require pharmaceutical companies to offer the U.S. government drug prices that match the lowest rates charged in other advanced economies. Cramer said the market’s fear is straightforward: if drugmakers are forced to cut prices for their government customers, then drug distributors could see their margins shrink.
“The bottom line: No matter how well the drug distributors have been doing, I do not want to stick my neck out for an industry that now seems to be hated by both the Democrats and the Republicans. It seems like the only thing they agree on, doesn’t it? There are so many potential winners in this market, I say, why take the risk?”

A caller asked if they should take a look at getting rid of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMCI), and Cramer replied:
“No, no. To tell you the truth, I mean, this one had some accounting issues. They do seem to be now long enough behind them that analysts are starting to recommend the stock again. It’s relatively cheap versus the whole cohort. If you want to consider the cohort… like a CoreWeave or, of course, an NVIDIA, and I would tell you, it is more expensive than Dell. I do like Dell more, but I think you could do a lot more… with Super Micro. But let me tell you something, you’ve got more product knowledge than I do, and I like what you had to say.”
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) designs and produces high-performance server and storage hardware for demanding computing needs.
