Jim Cramer Weighed In on These 16 Stocks

On Tuesday’s episode of Mad Money, host Jim Cramer opened up about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with earnings season.

“I love earnings season. I hate earnings season. One minute, I’m basking in my chair, feet up, savoring the win. The next minute, I’m throwing the chair in fury that I could be so stupid and obtuse.”

After 45 years in the business, Cramer admitted he still does not give himself a break. He noted that Tuesday morning’s market action felt no different from the countless others he has experienced: a mix of wins and losses. He pointed to the volatility of earnings season as something even seasoned professionals find unnerving.

Cramer shared his initial excitement over correctly anticipating the GPU kingpin’s results, a call that gave him a fleeting sense of triumph. He explained that the sense quickly evaporated following disappointing performances from other firms, which hit harder than he expected. He said the emotional whiplash had him feeling like a “pathetic parody” of a Charitable Trust manager, one licking his wounds while harshly critiquing his own decisions.

“The bottom line: I’ll stay behind Wells and BlackRock, with the fig leaf of NVIDIA protecting me. But you need to know that, so far, I’m one for three this earnings season. One for three, and in this business, you know what that is? That’s downright awful. No excuses.”

Jim Cramer Weighed In on These 16 Stocks

16. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 159

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer weighed in on.  During the episode, Cramer discussed the company’s AI strategy, as he commented:

“This is one of the reasons why I’m so concerned about Apple. Here’s a company with absolutely no AI strategy that I can see that does buying back stock endlessly, which, by the way, has accomplished nothing. Take it from me… And it started down the path of the old IBM where if it wasn’t invented there, it wasn’t good enough. We know where that strategy only… [brought] IBM, and it took many years to recover from it. Apple can change course by spending big money to acquire Perplexity, which I regard as a just-the-facts-ma’am engine, no bias that I can find. Right now, at this very moment… where there’s no clear winner, and each offering seems to be fighting for second place, Apple can step in to become the number one AI chat company immediately…

Unlike these other guys, Apple knows how to promote, and it’s got the App Store to do it. But I fear that they don’t want to take the risk because this business will be all or nothing like Search, and they fear they could be nothing. I’m on Perplexity 50 times a day, and buying it would be electric.”

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs and sells smartphones, computers, tablets, wearables, and accessories. The company also provides cloud services, technical support, and a wide range of digital content and subscription-based platforms.

15. Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 13

Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:QUBT) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer weighed in on. A caller asked if it is too late to invest in the stock during the lightning round, and Cramer commented:

“It’s not so much as it’s too late. It’s a money-losing company, and if we get rid of the fervor for the moment about quantum, you’ll be buying that $17 stock at $7, and that’s what I worry about the most.”

Quantum Computing (NASDAQ:QUBT) develops photonic-based quantum systems and optical devices, including modulators, frequency converters, and quantum-ready computing platforms. The company’s products also include reprogrammable edge computing chips, lidar systems, quantum vibrometers, and solutions for quantum networking and authentication. In January, Cramer mentioned the stock and said:

“I’m also concerned about a company called Quantum Computing, $2.4 billion, with $400,000 in revenues in the last 12 months and again, very big losses.”
