NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the 13 stocks Jim Cramer recently shed light on. While discussing the data center stocks, Cramer mentioned the company and said:
“Third, the data center, which is just going bonkers. You need to know what’s in the data center. It starts with NVIDIA, of course, which is at an all-time high today and is now the largest stock in the world… The data center is built around NVIDIA’s chips… Fourth group of winners, the semis. There are lots of overlaps with the data center, okay, including the biggest being NVIDIA.”

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) delivers advanced computing, graphics, and networking solutions spanning gaming, AI, data centers, and automotive technologies. The company’s products include GPUs, AI software, cloud services, and tools that power visual computing, autonomous systems, and enterprise AI development. During a May episode, Cramer said the company makes the “most sophisticated chips in the world,” as he commented:
“Currently, NVIDIA makes the most sophisticated chips in the world, and until a few years ago, it had 95% of the Chinese market, giving potential Chinese rivals zero room to compete. Now that was a pretty great situation, but our nation’s interests in China have totally diverged under Trump… Last night, after NVIDIA reported one of the best quarters I’ve ever seen, CEO Jensen Huang made a plea on this show to keep doing business with China, both to maintain U.S. semiconductor supremacy and to keep the profits flowing…
He said that we act like China can’t build the highest-end chips themselves when we know they’re doing so, including DeepSeek’s new semis that were just announced. If we sell our chips to China, he says we can regain our supremacy, but if NVIDIA can’t do that business, it’s effectively a huge subsidy for the Chinese chip makers. Hmm, look, I’m a hardliner on China, but I see the point… NVIDIA could cede its crown to China very quickly if it isn’t allowed to sell a lot of chips there, returning a lot of the profits from that $50 billion in sales to the U.S. to build more capacity here. I just don’t know if President Trump cares because from his latest actions, it feels like we’re just a few years away from a total shutdown in relations with China…
Fortunately, there’s still a ton of opportunity for NVIDIA outside of China because its chips are that great. To me, though, the president’s in no mood for any of our companies to do more business in China than they have to. I think that’s a mistake when it comes to semiconductors, but right now, I fear that’s exactly what’s going to happen.”
While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
