Jim Cramer’s 11 Stocks Review: HOOD, WFC, and Market Rotation

Page 1 of 5

In this article, we will look at the stocks Jim Cramer reviewed on Mad Money while discussing the recent market rotation. The host of CNBC’s Mad Money said Wednesday that the market is in the middle of a rapid and somewhat chaotic rotation phase.

History says this explosive phase of this move is likely behind us… The move is over, people, but there’s good news. While the easy money has definitely been made, we have to be grateful that history says we aren’t about to crash or go into some sort of multi-day tailspin. We’re just working off the overbought gently, in just a benign fashion… Usually, when the oscillator gets this high, we tend to have brutal rotations and end up sending some stock up violently while others go down altogether… I don’t think it’s going to be violent. I think it’s going to be exciting.

Cramer said that it is difficult to interpret these rotations. He added that there is often no clear explanation for why certain stocks rise during these stretches. He said that after a strong rally, investors are often bombarded with conflicting narratives. Some voices will push the idea of buying beaten-down names that may not deserve a comeback, while others will say that the entire move was driven by short covering. He also said there might be claims that the gains are set to unwind completely.

But the main thing you need to know is that the rotations can be random, and they can be frustrating. You have my blessing to trim stocks that have run too much, as we’ve done for the Charitable Trust. But no matter what, the bottom line is, some crazy rotations are about to occur. I wouldn’t be surprised if next, it’s the drugs then it’s the retailers, then it’s the healthcares. This is no man’s land, and I love it.

Jim Cramer’s 11 Stocks Review: HOOD, WFC, and Market Rotation

11. Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC)

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) was among the stocks Jim Cramer reviewed on Mad Money while discussing the recent market rotation. Cramer mentioned the stock while discussing the valuation of bank stocks. He stated:

I am getting tired of hearing that this market’s too expensive. Anyone who feels that way should take a hard look at the big banks now that they’ve all reported because they sure don’t seem very expensive to me… I would tell you their stocks are so darn cheap versus the entire market that we have to think about owning one. If something good happens, the banks will all take off because they’re so darn cheap. What do I mean by cheap? Okay, I’m talking about an apples-to-apples comparison versus the price-to-earnings multiple of the S&P 500. Yes, you can figure out the PE multiple of the S&P by taking the earnings per share estimates of all the companies in the index collectively and then giving them the same weightings that the stocks get.

When you look at these comparisons, they are, for lack of a better word, insane. The S&P 500 trades at nearly 22 times this year’s earnings estimates. The expected earnings growth rate of the S&P is 17%… Now, let’s consider the banks on this apples-to-apples basis. Citigroup is expected to see 52% earnings growth this year. It sells at 12.4 times this year’s earnings per share estimates. Goldman Sachs is expected to grow by 14.9%. It trades at 15 times earnings. Bank of America is expected to grow by 14.2%. It sells for 12.5 times earnings.

Morgan Stanley’s expected to see 11.7% earnings per share growth. It sells for less than 17 times earnings. Wells Fargo, look, it had a not-so-hot quarter, but it’s still expected to grow by 11.7%, and it trades at 11.5 times earnings. JPMorgan’s expected to grow at 9.7%, and it’s got a PE multiple of 13.9. Or in other words, with these bank stocks, you have companies that are growing a tad slower than the average stock of the S&P, but in terms of valuation, they sell at a dramatic discount to the S&P as a whole, huge discount… Right now, though, they have the lowest price-to-earnings multiples in part because they’re considered to be brimming with weak private credit exposure. But for the most part, that’s not true either. Even Wells Fargo did their best to say it. Although they had a lot of private equity, only a small part was the hated software category.

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) provides financial services, including banking, lending, investment, and wealth management solutions.

10. Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK)

Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) was among the stocks Jim Cramer reviewed on Mad Money while discussing the recent market rotation. Toward the end of the lightning round, a caller asked: “What the heck is going on with Nokia?” In response, Cramer said:

First of all, what Kitty has done here is make a lot of money. Now, there are a lot of people going to play on different predictions stuff and do all sorts of silly things. The fact is, Kitty looked at the situation, she decided she liked Nokia, she bought it. And Kitty, hold on to it, you got another 30% going on there.

Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) develops mobile, fixed, and cloud network solutions, including 5G, optical, and IP network technologies. A caller asked about the stock during the January 5 episode, and Cramer responded:

Oh, Nokia is tough… Nokia is very tough. And I’ll tell you why Nokia is tough because it’s up against Apple. It’s up against a lot of different great companies. Hey, by the way, Apple was down badly today. I have to tell you, I think this is a pretty good level to buy some Apple, down four bucks. I think, buy a little Apple and then it comes down a little more, buy some more.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:
