We recently compiled a list of the 10 Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar. In this article, we are going to take a look at where SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) stands against the other stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar.

Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, addressed some of Wall Street’s primary concerns on Tuesday, offering insights into how the White House may interpret the ongoing issues surrounding President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies. As alarmed investors continue to react to the potential consequences of these actions, Cramer outlined the main observations that point to the administration’s unpredictable approach. First, Cramer emphasized that the White House is less concerned about whether a country is an ally and more focused on whether that nation is paying its fair share.

“What matters to the White House is not whether a country is an ally. It’s whether that country pays its freight. Its approach is very uneven, which makes it very difficult to fathom.”

Moving on, Cramer highlighted the apparent disregard the White House has for preexisting trade agreements. Even if a deal was negotiated during Trump’s first term or involved allies, it seems irrelevant to the current administration’s priorities. Cramer noted that the White House’s stance is driven by a belief that trade agreements should not result in the loss of American jobs, regardless of previous negotiations.

Cramer then pointed out the inconsistency in tariff changes. He mentioned that American companies relying on labor from Mexico and Canada could face significant costs, while companies from countries like South Korea, Japan, and various European nations enjoy minimal tariffs on the millions of cars they ship to the U.S. He remarked that fairness does not appear to be a main consideration in these decisions. Next, Cramer touched on Taiwan’s situation and said:

“Taiwan may or may not be relevant. It, it could help its cause if it started paying more for its defense. It doesn’t matter that Taiwan Semi’s located there and is the most, single most important strategic asset in the world for both our industry and our military.”

Cramer also pointed out that there is still no clear timeline for when the tariffs imposed on Mexico will be paid. In another remark, Cramer discussed the uncertainty of whether the White House will offer some form of rebate to American companies that commit to expanding jobs and factories within the U.S. Addressing the broader picture, Cramer emphasized that the concerns of U.S. allies or investors seem to have little influence on the White House’s approach.

“It makes no difference what our allies say or do. Their assurances mean nothing. If you’re upset and sell stocks because of them, or if you bought stocks while Biden was president, or even a few months ago when you could convince yourself that Trump wouldn’t go crazy with the tariffs, well, that doesn’t matter as the White House sees it.”

According to Cramer, the current administration’s priorities are focused on advancing American dominance, not responding to investor or international concerns. He concluded by highlighting the administration’s disbelief that investors continue to voice complaints over the administration’s actions.

A caller asked what they should do with SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) in the recent volatile market and Cramer replied:

“Well, it’s just easy. I got the answer for you. Listen, I got it and it’s etched in, it’s etched in rock. Tomorrow, you’re gonna sell half, and the rest of the time, for the rest of your life, you’re gonna play with the house’s money. And that is called… victory.”

SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) offers a variety of services, such as lending, banking, insurance, and investment options, all available through one online platform. In early February, when asked about the company, Cramer said:

“The reason why SoFi has moved from where it was to where it is, is because it’s much more of a service provider stock, it’s FinTech than it is a lender these days. But I do think it needs to digest. I would not buy at this level. Maybe put a quarter of your position on, let it come in. It’s been perched here precariously for a while. I think you can go down from here.”

Overall SOFI ranks 6th on our list of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar.
