Jim Cramer’s 17 Stock Calls Like PepsiCo, CVS, and Advice to Stick with Large Tech

11. Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRL)

Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRL) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money, as he advised investors to stick with the largest tech companies in the market. Cramer mentioned that Sterling and Preformed Line Products both operate in “different parts of the AI infrastructure stack,” and said:

… Really, really struck me as a great one called Sterling Infrastructure. These are the guys doing the construction, engineering, contracting, buying a lot of the power infrastructure in data center build-outs we keep hearing about. We had Sterling CEO Joseph Cutillo on the show; that was February 27th. Get this, the stock was… [in] $420s. Just a few months later, and it’s down in the $700s. It’s up more than 200% over the past 12 months… Now, Preformed Line Products and Sterling operate in different parts of the AI infrastructure stack. To start, Sterling is a services provider… They’re similar in that they’re both tied to key bottlenecks in one of the biggest build-outs in history. Sterling helps solve the bottleneck at the very beginning: physical construction, engineering, and site prep… I think both are good places to be, and the market seems to agree with me. These are two smaller companies that benefit from all the CapEx, construction, everything that goes into a data center, and the systems connecting them, every cable, every line, every connector, and every piece of hardware that makes the build-out work.

Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRL) provides e-infrastructure, transportation, and building solutions, including site development for data centers, industrial facilities, and public works projects. In addition, the company offers concrete, plumbing, and surveying services for residential and commercial construction.
