We recently published an article titled Jim Cramer Thinks These 13 Stocks Will Benefit From the New Administration. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) stands against the stocks that will benefit from the new administration according to Jim Cramer.

Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, recently raised concerns about the current state of the market, particularly highlighting what he perceives as signs of “excess”. He also examined what he referred to as “Trump trades,” or stocks that Wall Street has been gravitating towards in anticipation of what President-elect Donald Trump’s administration might bring.

He pointed to private prison operators and oil service companies as examples of sectors benefiting from these expectations. Focusing on oil, Cramer noted that a number of smaller oil service stocks have surged this month. He pointed out:

“Now one of the few things that we know for certain about President-elect Trump’s economic agenda is that he wants our country to produce even more oil than it’s doing. His new pick for treasury secretary, that’s Scott Bessent, has advocated for the country to produce an incremental 3 million barrels of oil per day.”

Cramer sees this as positive news for oil service companies involved in the extraction of resources. However, he also warned that this surge in production could exert downward pressure on oil and gas prices, much like what occurred in 2016. Despite this, Cramer highlighted that the major players in oil services have posted impressive gains in November, with some smaller operators making unexpected appearances on the list of the market’s hottest stocks. Shifting to the cryptocurrency market, Cramer addressed the significant rise in Bitcoin’s value. He noted:

“Now that rally is taking up practically the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem… Obviously, the gains in crypto, especially the Bitcoin ecosystem, seem excessive, but again, they aren’t without reason. We’re going from a Biden regime that was pretty antagonistic towards crypto to a second Trump administration that promised to be incredibly crypto-friendly.”

Cramer also pointed out that under the Biden administration, the government had been more paternalistic, aiming to regulate and control crypto, while Trump has promised a much more supportive stance towards Bitcoin. Cramer believes that a Trump administration that actively supports Bitcoin could lead to significant hoarding of the cryptocurrency, especially in the context of a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

This could benefit Bitcoin holders or “hodlers,” as they are often called in the crypto community. He also suggested that owning Bitcoin or an ETF that tracks its performance could serve as a hedge against potential inflation, particularly if the government continues to print money to address its deficit. Cramer voiced his own support for Bitcoin, saying, “call me in favor of owning Bitcoin,” and also recommended purchasing Ethereum, which he owns, despite it lagging behind Bitcoin in recent performance.

“I’m a believer, but these are hedges for me, and if you’re hoarding crypto, be ready for the breakdown no one thinks can come.”

Cramer commented on Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (NYSE:SEI) stock jumping in November and said:

“Solaris Energy Infrastructure specializes in distributed power generation systems and managing raw materials used in oil and natural gas wells. It’s seen the stock jump 73%… Once again, big moves there. I can’t say they’re unreasonable. These are three very profitable businesses, reasonable valuations. They’re about to face a much more benign regulatory environment.”

Solaris Energy Infrastructure (NYSE:SEI) specializes in providing scalable and mobile equipment-based solutions designed for distributed power generation and the management of raw materials used in the completion of oil and natural gas wells. In the third quarter, it made a significant move by announcing and closing an acquisition that would reshape its operations. On September 11, the company finalized the purchase of Mobile Energy Rentals LLC, a leading provider of distributed power solutions.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the company established a new business segment called Solaris Power Solutions. This segment was created to manage and oversee the newly acquired operations and to report on the performance of this expanded part of the business. Since closing the deal, the company has already made substantial progress.

Solaris Energy Infrastructure (NYSE:SEI) signed several power service contracts with tenors ranging from two to four years, securing over 80% of its expected capacity by the end of 2025. Additionally, the company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $22 million for the third quarter. This represents a 7% increase compared to the second quarter of 2024. The growth in adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by the impact of the Mobile Energy Rentals acquisition, which contributed results for 20 days in the third quarter.
