Jim Cramer Put These 14 Stocks Under the Microscope

During Wednesday’s episode of Mad Money, host Jim Cramer weighed in on the dynamics between the United States and China, especially in relation to President Donald Trump’s trade approach and its influence on the stock market.

“President Trump better be a much tougher negotiator than President Xi because right now, we’re so hooked on China, it’s almost hard to believe. That’s why it’s so worrisome when the President posts on Truth Social about the negotiations, as if there are any real negotiations going on at all.”

Cramer said that nearly every day, a company announces that it is trying to reduce its reliance on China. He noted that moving away from China is not just difficult; in some cases, it is impossible, as the US depends on the country for various items and processes, including manufacturing, raw materials, and more. He referenced Trump’s recent post on Truth Social, where the president wrote, “I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!”

Referring to the latter half of Trump’s statement, which was written in all capital letters with three exclamation points, Cramer said, “Now that’s a serious analysis.” He then asked just how deep America’s dependency on China is and mentioned that it is like an addiction. He said, “You know what, it’s like fentanyl.”

“Bottom line: I just hope that Trump’s friendship is requited by Xi. We may need to change the rules or start playing a whole new game. Of course, the president could always fold, and Wall Street would love it, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Nor should it.”

Jim Cramer Put These 14 Stocks Under the Microscope

14. Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 93

Talking about deregulation, Cramer noted that Capital One Financial Corporation’s (NYSE:COF) merger with Discover Financial Services was possible under the new administration.

“There are many reasons why Trump won in November, inflation, immigration, cultural backlash, but there’s one reason why the business community got behind him in a way they never really did in 2016 or 2020, and that’s deregulation…[Referring to the Fed’s decision to remove Wells Fargo asset cap restriction] This one comes on the heels of the decision by the administration to let Capital One merge with Discover Financial, okay.

By the way, that was another deal that was held up by Biden’s draconian antitrust regulators. I welcome this deregulation, not because I’m some sort of laissez-faire ideologue, but because it allows competition to scale…Capital One can now challenge American Express and other top credit card issuers. The Biden administration seemed to hate all mergers, but sometimes smaller competitors need to join forces if they want to go toe to toe with the big guys.

While I’m at it, let me say that both of these stocks are tremendous buys. Capital One will be able to purchase a ton of stock come July… My hope is that the deregulation will continue because that’s exactly what we need after four years of heavy-handed regulation. Capital One Discover, no cap on Wells Fargo, all I can say is it’s about time.”

Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF) provides a range of banking and lending products, including credit cards, loans, deposit accounts, and online banking services, while also offering advisory and treasury management solutions.

13. Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 88

Discussing how deregulation would be good for companies, Cramer mentioned Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) and said:

“There are many reasons why Trump won in November, inflation, immigration, cultural backlash, but there’s one reason why the business community got behind him in a way they never really did in 2016 or 2020, and that’s deregulation… This morning, we got the chance to interview Charlie Scharf, the CEO of Wells Fargo. Talked about the Federal Reserve’s removal of the asset capital on this bank last night… Wells certainly had it coming back then, but it was a severe penalty… I knew the Biden administration wouldn’t lift the cap. They had zero sympathy for big business, and they didn’t like the banks…

… I welcome this deregulation, not because I’m some sort of laissez-faire ideologue, but because it allows competition to scale. Wells Fargo can now give JPMorgan a run for its money…

… While I’m at it, let me say that both of these stocks are tremendous buys… Wells Fargo will be able to save a ton of money as the endless compliance monitoring may have finally run its course. Seven years of purgatory is enough already. The all-new Wells deserves to be let out of the doghouse. My hope is that the deregulation will continue because that’s exactly what we need after four years of heavy-handed regulation. Capital One Discover, no cap on Wells Fargo, all I can say is it’s about time.”

Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) is a financial services company that offers banking, investment, mortgage, and other financial products. It serves customers around the world.

12. Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 40

When a caller inquired about Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) during the lightning round, Cramer commented, “No, not a fan. Yield too low. Not there.”

Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM) provides solutions that help organizations manage, protect, and transform their information and assets across physical and digital formats. On May 27, as Barclays revised its models for the data center group, the firm raised its price target on the stock to $121 from $118 and maintained an Overweight rating. However, Cramer showed bearish sentiment toward the company earlier in May as he commented:

“No. Better places to be, better places to be. You know, like we have Kimco on tonight, give you a better yield. I think that’s a better place to go.”

11. Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 46

A caller inquired about Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D), given that the current administration seems to be “against clean energy”. Here’s what Cramer had to say in response:

“I like Dominion. It’s fine. For a while, I was worried about the balance sheet. I think we’re okay. I think we’re okay with Dominion.”

Dominion Energy, Inc. (NYSE:D) delivers regulated electricity and natural gas services, supported by a diverse energy portfolio that includes substantial generation and distribution infrastructure. The company focuses on both traditional and renewable energy solutions.

In October 2024, Cramer was not sure about the company and said that he was not “quite ready to recommend” it at that time. However, he still mentioned some positives as he commented:

“Finally, there’s Dominion Energy, which passed the YEV test with flying colors. This is a gas and electric utility in Virginia, North Carolina; South Carolina, small gas utility business in South Carolina; and a big clean power generation business, one that includes a nuclear plant along with some wind, solar, renewable, natural gas.

I actually used to like Dominion a lot. This was a great growth utility for many years under the leadership of former CEO, Tom Farrell, long-time friend of the show. Before he retired as CEO in 2022, he stuck on as executive chairman but in April 2021, Farrell tragically died after a battle with cancer the day after he retired.

After that, Dominion seemed a bit lost to me. Frankly, in late 2022, the stock started to slide, but ultimately shaved off more than half its value before it bottomed roughly a year ago. Since then, it’s done much better. Stock’s up almost 42% from its lows last October and management conducted a top and bottom-line business review in order to come up with a new strategy. The problem for Dominion was that business just got too sprawling… They invested heavily in some expensive solar projects and some very complicated offshore wind projects. They also spent heavily to improve the regular power grid.

So, suddenly, the company was spending enormous tons of money. Plus, in 2022, anything related to alternative energy was just killed. But now they’ve simplified the business significantly. Dominion sold off most of its natural gas business at this point, [which] netted them a little more than $14 billion. Going forward, Dominion wants to be a pure-play-regulated electric utility with a merchant power kicker, I think that is a terrific idea. Right now, we have immense demand for electricity in this country. In fact, Dominion service area includes Northern Virginia, meaning they sell power to the world’s largest data center hub. According to Bloomberg, new data centers in the area face a seven-year wait for Dominion power, which tells you there’s insane demand for power.

Of course, Dominion needs to make some large investments in order to be able to handle all that demand, but they’ve got a bunch of money from selling off their natural gas businesses. I think they can afford it. That said, I’m not super thrilled about the strategy because many of these natural gas businesses were excellent, especially the pipelines and the stake in liquified natural gas export facility in Chesapeake Bay. I still need convincing on those expensive offshore wind projects. Although management says they’re largely complete at this point, I wouldn’t start one now to tell you that. Overall though, I’m warming back up to Dominion Energy. As much as I like these natural gas assets, they absolutely needed to simplify the business, and given the bull market power generation, sticking with electricity was the right call. Plus, pays a nearly 5% yield.

… the bottom line, when you screen for yield, earnings, growth, and value and you make that in screen incredibly harsh like we have, you wind up with a list of seven great stocks… and one that I actually have to tell you I’m intrigued [about], even though I’m not quite ready to recommend it. And that’s Dominion Energy.”

10. The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 102

A caller asked how Cramer thinks The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) would perform in the long term. He replied:

“Oh man, I was making calls on Home Depot today because it’s starting to roll, and then wouldn’t you know it, it pulled back right at the end. I think we’re in good shape. I think when rates just stay stable, we’ll be fine. I think that the gardening season’s coming along fine, but let me just say, people just look at housing starts and they say, let’s sell Home Depot. Don’t be constrained by that. I think they’re going to have a great year. Let’s think seven years, not seven days. Thank you, Larry Fink for that. I love that. It was in the FT yesterday.”

Home Depot (NYSE:HD) is a retailer specializing in home improvement products, including building materials, home décor, and garden supplies. The company provides installation services for home projects and rents out tools and equipment. Earlier in May, Cramer said:

“Now, not that long ago, we dropped in on a monster Home Depot store management meeting in Vegas where we heard about some great ideas for spring gardening season, which by the way, kicks into overdrive this weekend. Unfortunately, these big weeks for lawn and garden have been overshadowed by stubbornly high interest rates and no rate cuts from the Fed, not to mention tariff worries. Now I’ve watched this stock since it came public, and there are plenty of times that Home Depot doesn’t actually march to the tune of interest rates, but instead is levered to repair and renovation.

As so many people are stuck in their homes, I’m willing to trade up because that would force them to give up that low mortgage rate that they may have gotten during the COVID period. Now we own the despot for the Charitable Trust, and while I’m not expecting a blowout by any means, I have to tell you I like it long term, and it’s down 2% for the year, well, off its highs… Home Depot stock is a great one to own because, like Walmart, these guys have the scale to cope with the tariffs that are going to be put on so many foreign-made goods that they sell at Home Depot. The little guys we know, they don’t have that kind of flexibility.”

9. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 78

Inquiring about Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG), a caller noted that the stock is somewhat “lacking”. In response, Cramer said:

“Hey, come on. I had a really good day… and suddenly, I see Chipotle starting to roll. I mean, the stock is up $2. You know I’m pulling for Scott Boatwright. I think we’re in good shape. I think we, I gotta tell you, this one’s been just treading water because maybe they raised prices too much. But I think Chipotle’s making a comeback. I would want to be a buyer…”

Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) owns and runs restaurants serving a variety of Mexican-inspired dishes like burritos, tacos, and salads. The company also offers delivery and related services through its app and website. Toward the end of April, when Cramer was asked about the company, he said:

“Great question. I would tell your son this, the stock reported a quarter that people didn’t like, and what happened? The stock went up. What does that tell you? We are finally at terra firma, and that is not one of those companies that’s going to be, it does have some tariff problems, but not many. And what I would emphasize to you about Chipotle, it’s never going to be cheap, but it’s rarely down this long.”

8. Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 67

Discussing the impact of tariffs on Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLTR), Cramer stated:

“Discount retailers tend to do better when the consumers’ feeling stretched thin, and you know the consumer’s feeling that way. But Dollar General and Dollar Tree have behaved very differently after reporting earnings over the past couple days… Then today, Dollar Tree reported what I also thought was a pretty good quarter, but its stock got eviscerated, down 8%. What explains the disparity here?… The difference between these two comes down to what they had to say about their ability to control costs and offset the impact of, you bet, go ahead, the president’s tariffs…

Unfortunately, we’re also in the middle of some volatile trade negotiations. President’s tariffs are potentially hurting their ability to keep prices low, and this is why Dollar General soared yesterday and Dollar Tree plummeted today, because Dollar Tree seems to have trouble, let’s say, more trouble with the tariffs… Now, Dollar Tree’s a little different. They also talked about mitigating the damage from the tariffs, but they indicated that they may be having a harder time making that happen.

In their press release, Dollar Tree disclosed that their earnings from continuing operations this quarter could take a 45 to 50% hit, thanks to the tariffs. Although management believes the numbers will re-accelerate later in the year, and they’ll be able to make the numbers in their full-year forecast. But that was dreadful. It was actually shocking.

Now, to be fair, some of that cost pressure has to do with Dollar Tree’s divestment of Family Dollar…. It’s still enough to spook investors, so it didn’t help when, on the conference call, management noted that they absorbed some costs during the brief window when the 145% tariffs on China were in effect. Ouch. This timing issue resulted in $70 million more in cost of goods sold for the second quarter, which they say will be flowing through the system ‘before the full breadth of our mitigation efforts are deployed.’

As a result, we got that concerning note about second quarter profits being ‘meaningfully lower than last year’… While both companies source some of their merchandise from overseas, especially from China, there’s a major difference in how much each company imports directly. See, Dollar General only imports 4% of its goods directly from foreign manufacturers. For Dollar Tree, it’s 40%…

… So let me give you the bottom line: While both these companies might have the word dollar in their names, the subtle differences in their supply chain structure are having a huge impact on their stocks. That’s why Dollar General soared yesterday, and Dollar Tree is now in the [house of pain]. And it’s why you should watch out for the distinction between direct imports and indirect imports in the rest of retail because going forward, it’s really going to matter.”

Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR) runs discount retail stores that carry a wide variety of products. The selection includes consumables, home essentials, seasonal items, apparel, and electronics.

7. Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 55

Comparing the difference between Dollar General Corporation (NYSE:DG) and Dollar Tree, Cramer said:

“Discount retailers tend to do better when the consumers’ feeling stretched thin, and you know the consumer’s feeling that way. But Dollar General and Dollar Tree have behaved very differently after reporting earnings over the past couple days. When Dollar General announced its results yesterday and the numbers were excellent, the stock caught fire…

… The difference between these two comes down to what they had to say about their ability to control costs and offset the impact of, you bet, go ahead, the president’s tariffs… Unfortunately, we’re also in the middle of some volatile trade negotiations. President’s tariffs are potentially hurting their ability to keep prices low, and this is why Dollar General soared yesterday and Dollar Tree plummeted today, because Dollar Tree seems to have trouble, let’s say, more trouble with the tariffs.

At Dollar General, management remains confident they’ll be able to navigate these challenges by pulling a few levers, negotiating cost concessions with their vendors, shifting manufacturing to other countries when possible, or even just finding substitute products made in places where the tariffs are lower. While management’s confident this can work, they do expect the tariffs to result in some price increases as a last resort…

While both companies source some of their merchandise from overseas, especially from China, there’s a major difference in how much each company imports directly. See, Dollar General only imports 4% of its goods directly from foreign manufacturers. For Dollar Tree, it’s 40%…

… So let me give you the bottom line: While both these companies might have the word dollar in their names, the subtle differences in their supply chain structure are having a huge impact on their stocks. That’s why Dollar General soared yesterday, and Dollar Tree is now in the [house of pain]. And it’s why you should watch out for the distinction between direct imports and indirect imports in the rest of retail because going forward, it’s really going to matter.”

Dollar General (NYSE:DG) is a discount retailer that sells a broad mix of products. The company’s selection includes everyday consumables, packaged and perishable foods, health and beauty items, pet products, seasonal merchandise, home goods, and clothing for all age groups.

6. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 45

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE:HPE) was discussed during the episode, and here’s what Mad Money’s host had to say:

“Last night, Hewlett Packard Enterprise reported what initially looked like a strong quarter, and the stock took off in after-hours trading. Then today, gave back, gave back nearly all the gains…

If you take a step back and think about the quarter as a whole, here’s what I’d say: HP Enterprise was fine. I don’t mean that as an insult. Fine is a definite improvement from the last quarter, which was outright bad. But what really happened here is that HP Enterprise outperformed the expectations that it had lowered when it offered that atrocious guidance back in March.

… Now it’s outperformed those lowered expectations, and while that’s certainly better than underperforming, I can’t bring myself to be too excited about it. The fact of the matter is, we heard much more positive things from Dell Technologies last week…HP Enterprise really is doing better than it was three months ago, and that’s worth something. But nothing I heard yesterday was positive enough to get me particularly bullish on this one, especially when Dell’s in much better shape and only a little bit more expensive, and has come down a great deal.

Here’s the bottom line: I can’t get enthusiastic, well, maybe I can’t get too enthusiastic about Hewlett Packard Enterprise until one of two things happens. Either they see a dramatic improvement in their business, or the activists at Elliot Management decide to get their hands dirty and turn this thing around by any means necessary. For now, neither of these things seems to be happening. So, look, let’s say you like HP Enterprise. Let me just tell you something, you will love Dell, which is a far superior option at this moment.”

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) delivers data solutions that support customers in handling and using information efficiently. The company supplies products such as servers, high-performance computing systems, and storage equipment.

5. Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 58

A caller asked for Cramer’s thoughts on Viking Holdings Ltd (NYSE:VIK), and he replied:

“Okay, I like Viking, but I thought they were tepid when they came on, and therefore I’m going to send you to Royal. I think RCL is now the gold standard, and that’s the one I want to own.”

Viking (NYSE:VIK) provides transport services for travelers and offers tourism experiences that include guided tours and other activities for its guests. Moreover, on March 14, Cramer was bullish on the company as he said:

“Regular viewers know I am a big fan of the cruise lines… Viking’s a unique player with an impressive focus on rich American baby boomers. We watched with glee as Viking stock glided higher and higher and higher throughout last year and even the first few weeks of 2025, eventually it peaked at 53 bucks and change in early February just before the market-wide sell-off. Since then, the stock’s fallen back to $40, down roughly 25% from its highs just over a month ago… The cruise lines are different from other travel plays. They represent incredible value versus traditional vacation alternatives…For Viking in particular, we have a fresher company-specific catalyst. On Tuesday morning, the company reported an excellent quarter with in-line revenue and impressive 9-cent earnings beat off a 36-cent basis…

Management also had some very positive commentary about the full-year forecast with CEO Torstein Hagen noting that the company was growing capacity for its core products by 12% this year, delivery of 11 new ships; they’re already 88% booked for the 2025 season. So it sounds like smooth sailing for Viking at present. And we got this update after the tariff rain of terror had already started. With the stock down meaningfully to the point where it now roughly trades at 17 times this year’s earnings estimate, I think it’s another one that’s worth buying right here.”

4. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 212

Discussing NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Cramer said if the president wants to win, he needs to “show his trump card, NVIDIA”.

“So, how could the president turn around these negotiations with the Chinese? Okay, so I’ve been thinking about this. I always like to be constructive. I’m a constructive fella… We only have one ace in our hand, and apparently, we don’t want to play it, the chips from NVIDIA. Under the previous administration, NVIDIA was allowed to sell China high-quality chips, but not their best stuff, which were reserved for America and a bizarre list of 18 friendly countries. Now, the Trump administration won’t even let NVIDIA sell their second or third best stuff. As CEO Jensen Huang said on our show, it’s logical to presume that China won’t use these chips for the military precisely because they’re American chips…

So what is the military risk here? Jensen says that there’s $50 billion in AI semiconductor business up for grabs in China, and NVIDIA used to have 95% of that market, but today it’s down to 50%. Sounds like the Trump administration would like it to go to zero. The Chinese are desperate for these chips. They could buy them from NVIDIA, which has the capacity to build them now, and NVIDIA could repatriate the money to build more plants right here. It’s an elegant solution that I’m providing, but I fear the White House just doesn’t care about my solution.

Still, if Trump wants to win this game, he may have to show his Trump card, NVIDIA. As I see it, the others just don’t make for a good hand. You have to play with the cards you’ve been dealt. And for decades, our government did everything it could to encourage outsourcing to China. They left us with a pretty lousy darn hand, both Republicans and Democrats. Between NVIDIA and Apple, Trump has a lot of leverage, but he doesn’t want to use it. Those two companies seem hostage to totally different agendas inside the White House.”

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops computing, graphics, and networking technologies, including AI software, data center systems, gaming GPUs, autonomous driving platforms, and tools for digital twins and enterprise AI adoption. Additionally, the company works on customized AI solutions through collaborations.

3. GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 111

Discussing GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), Cramer said:

“So, how could the president turn around these negotiations with the Chinese? Okay, so I’ve been thinking about this. I always like to be constructive. I’m a constructive fella… Hey, how about turbines from power players? GE Vernova has installed 240 gas turbines in China, there you go, for about 50 million a pop. Just servicing these turbines gives us some cards to play.

China needs these, especially if anyone maybe just realizes that they’re making all these coal plants and does something to try to stop it. Now, those aren’t low cards. They’re kind of, I don’t know, maybe 8s and 9s. You can split them if the dealer has a 4, but I don’t think Xi’s got a 4. He’s got a king showing. Now there are some other things that could work out… GE Vernova might have room to expand its capacity, but there’s so much demand from the American hyperscalers that they might not have time for China.”

GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) supplies technology for generating, moving, converting, and storing electricity, with a focus on gas, nuclear, wind, and digital power solutions. The company’s products are built to upgrade energy systems and support cleaner power infrastructure.

2. The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 96

Cramer emphasized that China would need plans from The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) as he said:

“So, how could the president turn around these negotiations with the Chinese? Okay, so I’ve been thinking about this. I always like to be constructive. I’m a constructive fella… There’s the $50 million items that China needs once and has to have. I’m talking about the first Boeing planes.

The Chinese need planes very badly. If they’re denied our planes, they can’t just switch to Airbus. Airbus has got a wait list longer than Boeing… Now, those aren’t low cards. They’re kind of, I don’t know, maybe 8s and 9s. You can split them if the dealer has a 4, but I don’t think Xi’s got a 4. He’s got a king showing. Now, there are some other things that could work out. Boeing sold out till 2030.”

Boeing (NYSE:BA) focuses on designing, manufacturing, and marketing a variety of products that include commercial airplanes, military jets, satellites, missile defense systems, and space-related technology.

1. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 159

Cramer extensively discussed how, despite Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) manufacturing relocation efforts, the company has been constantly under fire from the current administration.

“Apple’s pulling off something amazing, moving about 20% of their iPhone manufacturing to India, but the rest are still coming from China. Still, the White House doesn’t care. They want those phones made in America, so they’re threatening a 25% tariff on the ones from India… What a shame. Apple is a huge employer in China, and China’s a huge market for Apple, but the White House is making them leave, and they’re not even getting any credit for it.

If Trump wants leverage with China, he should be doing everything he can to make Apple move its manufacturing literally anywhere else and not tariff them… You have to play with the cards you’ve been dealt. And for decades, our government did everything it could to encourage outsourcing to China. They left us with a pretty lousy darn hand, both Republicans and Democrats. Between NVIDIA and Apple, Trump has a lot of leverage, but he doesn’t want to use it. Those two companies seem hostage to totally different agendas inside the White House.”

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs and sells consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, computers, wearables, and accessories. The company also provides subscription services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade, and operates platforms including the App Store and Apple Pay.
