Jim Cramer’s 10 Latest Stock Picks This Week

In this article, we will take a detailed look at Jim Cramer’s 10 Latest Stock Picks This Week. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article Jim Cramer’s 5 Latest Stock Picks This Week.

Jim Cramer in his latest program talked about the ever-growing appetite for semiconductor chips in the market, demonstrating the enormous gains of semiconductor ETFs, in addition to semiconductor stocks like Nvidia, which Cramer yet again called the “undisputed” leader of the industry.

A Tale of Two Chips

While Cramer said semiconductor chips have seen a huge improvement in their performance over the past few months, there’s another kind of chips that is the epitome of the inflation crisis. You guessed it right, Cramer is talking about potato chips. Cramer said a standard bag of potato chips has seen a 45% jump in price over the last few years, but the quality and quantity of these chips remained the same. Cramer said the rise in food prices after the pandemic has been disastrous for Americans. Cramer said not everybody could invest in stocks like Nvidia because of the burden of food prices and no extra income. But for those who can, which Cramer called the “haves”, the rise in food prices amounts to “nothing” because of the riches they are making in the stock market. Cramer said that’s the “beauty” of investing.

GPT Vs GLP-1

Jim Cramer drew an interesting contrast between two factors to demonstrate the forces at work when it comes to the demand of semiconductor chips and potato chips. Cramer said the launch of ChatGPT infused a generative AI revolution which is behind the insatiable demand of semiconductor chips. Companies like Meta Platforms are gobbling up hundreds of thousands of Nvidia’s expensive chips to power their generative AI systems. On the other hand, in the healthcare industry, top American companies are working on weight loss drugs which are also known as GLP-1. These drugs increase willpower and diminish cravings and temptation of tasty but unhealthy foods like potato chips.

Cramer said the “paths” of people who invested in microchips and those who buy potato chips are very different and perhaps would never meet.

In addition to Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT), which Cramer loves, there are some new names he recommended this week. In this article we will talk about these new stock picks of Jim Cramer.

7. On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 31

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC recommended a caller to “stay interested” in On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON). Cramer said he agrees with a latest note from UBS about On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON) in which the investment firm said On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON) is doing really well. Cramer said he’s been saying On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON) is doing well for a “very long time” and said he is “sticking by” his bullish view on the stock.

Baron Asset Fund made the following comment about On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“In the third quarter, we purchased shares of On Holding AG (NYSE:ONON), a developer and distributor of athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories. On is one of the fastest-growing scaled athletic sports companies in the world. Management’s vision is to build a premium global sportswear brand based on innovation, design, and sustainability. Its products are sold through approximately 10,000 premium retail stores, which account for 65% of revenue. The balance of sales occur through its direct-to-consumer channel, encompassing its own branded and operated stores, as well as its website.

On was founded in Switzerland, but it has expanded quickly across the globe. Its products have exhibited sales momentum in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The company is rapidly growing its base of roughly 10 flagship retail stores, and it plans to end this year with 47 stores across 18 cities in China. Roughly half of its revenue is generated in North America, 45% in Europe, and 5% in Asia Pacific. On is addressing a large market opportunity: the $355 billion global sportswear industry. This market has seen its growth driven by continued trends toward athleisure. Consumers continue to pivot their spending towards more comfortable and casual attire as they lead healthier, more active lifestyles.

We believe On should be able to grow its revenues faster than 20% for many years, while also expanding its margins. We expect its growth to be driven by expanding brand awareness leading to market share gains in its core running shoe category, particularly as On expands its geographic footprint. We expect the company to continue to reinvest into its business at high rates of return. We believe On has a large opportunity to take market share in newer shoe categories, such as tennis (Roger Federer is an investor and advisor), training, and outdoor. The company also has a significant opportunity to grow its offerings in the apparel category.”

6. Chewy Inc (NYSE:CHWY)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 33

Jim Cramer said in a latest program that Chewy Inc (NYSE:CHWY) is bottoming and that he is sticking to his bullish call made on the stock earlier. In January, while discussing Barclay’s bullish note on the pet retailer, Jim Cramer had said that he agrees with the notion that Chewy Inc (NYSE:CHWY) has gotten too cheap. Like Chewy, Jim Cramer also likes Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT).

As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, 33 hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey had stakes in Chewy Inc (NYSE:CHWY).
