Jim Cramer’s 5 Stock Calls: Apple and Alphabet, and Caution About the Market

In this article, we will look at Jim Cramer’s 5 Stock Calls: Apple and Alphabet, and Caution About the Market. Please visit Jim Cramer’s 15 Stock Calls: NVIDIA and Costco, and Caution About the Market, if you’d like to see the extended list and methodology behind it.

5. Innio N.V. (NASDAQ:INIO)

Innio N.V. (NASDAQ:INIO) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed during Mad Money, as he highlighted a difficult backdrop for stocks. Cramer called it a “good story,” as he stated:

I like that it’s not too far from where it came public so you can still buy it. Makes sense that it’s at a premium… Now, we don’t have full 2026 estimates for Innio yet, but if you assume the rest of the year goes like the first quarter, a conservative assumption, then this stock has an enterprise multiple of 46. Not great, not cheap, nowhere near Bloom Energy’s enterprise multiple… So here’s where I come down on Innio: Because of what I just said, I can’t be crazy about it. It’s a good story, right at the center of one of the hottest themes in the market: power generation for the data center.

In a perfect world, I’d recommend buying the stock a bit lower, say around 29, where it would be valued on par with GE Vernova, but this is not a perfect world, people. And besides, my back-of-the-envelope estimates for Innio are likely way too conservative. If you want to buy the stock here, you know what, I’m going to give you my blessing because it’s such a good story.

At the end of the day, this stock’s hostage to AI, but until we see a slowdown in the great data center build out, and I don’t think we’re going to, I am not fretting it. Here’s the bottom line: I think Innio is worth owning here. And while I prefer you wait for a pullback to pull the trigger, it wouldn’t be crazy to put on a small position, at least right here, right now. See if it comes in while we wait for SpaceX. That may give you the discount that you need to get in a nice-sized position of a bite-sized data center play.

Innio N.V. (NASDAQ:INIO) manufactures and sells power-generation engines and equipment for data center, power, and compression markets. The company also supplies lifecycle aftermarket services, including spare parts, overhauls, digital solutions, and an AI-driven fleet management platform.

4. ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW)

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed during Mad Money, as he highlighted a difficult backdrop for stocks. When a caller inquired about the stock during the episode, Cramer said:

Okay, well, look, it’s expensive, that’s the problem. And it’s one of these companies that has a lot of software as a service, but it’s been pivoting rather rapidly. I’ve been watching this, the stock, and I have mixed feelings about it. But of the stocks that are in the enterprise software business, I think it’s better than most. Is that a lukewarm endorsement? I guess so, but then again, I’m not that bullish to begin with.

ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE:NOW) provides a cloud platform that supports digital workflows through AI, automation, low-code tools, analytics, and a suite of IT, security, customer service, and employee experience products. Cramer mentioned the stock during the May 27 episode, as he commented:

I think the stock is bottoming. I don’t think that it’s going to have a huge year because I do think that in the end, people want hardware. But I mean, do I agree that Bill McDermott’s going to do a good job? I think the stock is, again, I mean, there’s upside, but I feel there’s a little bit upside in some of the other softwares, too. But what I really want to be in is hardware because that is what’s moving in this new era of artificial intelligence, accelerated computing and just amazing opportunity.

3. Cerebras Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CBRS)

Cerebras Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CBRS) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed during Mad Money, as he highlighted a difficult backdrop for stocks. A caller asked whether it was “dead stock” and whether they should get rid of it. Cramer replied:

Yeah. Frankly, I think, it went up 36 points today. Gave you a nice bounce back. I’d cut it in half, and then if it goes up anymore, I’d get rid of the rest. This was a botched deal. This is what I most fear, okay? They obviously misallocated; they didn’t understand that the stock could open very big. They picked everybody off, and everyone who bought the stock in the last two weeks is underwater… actually, even three weeks.

That’s precisely what I don’t want to have happen. And I tell you, I’ve done these kinds of deals, I priced them, I’ve been in them, and it was done poorly. And now I just heard… [the caller] talk about how he did, and there are hundreds of thousands of people like [the caller]… You know, let me just tell you something, I fear that’s what’s going to happen this week, and it’s going to hurt you, and I’m trying to protect you. That’s all I’m trying to do is protect you.

Cerebras Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CBRS) designs and manufactures an artificial intelligence compute platform featuring a specialized wafer-scale engine designed for high-performance generative AI and inference tasks. The company provides its proprietary systems and software to several clients, including hyperscalers, foundation model labs, and sovereign AI initiatives.

2. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed during Mad Money, as he highlighted a difficult backdrop for stocks. Cramer noted that he did not see the issuance coming, as he remarked:

There’s the equity issuance from Google last week. Now I didn’t see it coming. You didn’t see it either. It was brilliant if you work at Google… You now have the money to build more… data centers to keep your cloud customers from going to another competitor. And that’s what they’re going to do. It’s bad for everyone else, though, especially shareholders of Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft. The ease with which Google raised the cash was incredible. Goldman Sachs did a tremendous job.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) provides technology-related products and services, including search, advertising, cloud computing, AI tools, and digital content platforms such as YouTube and Google Play. Cramer discussed the stock repurchases and issuance during the June 4 episode, as he said:

Something may be going on with the underwriting process that we haven’t seen very often. We just had a phenomenally successful Alphabet secondary priced well by Goldman Sachs to the point that it looked like we had very few flippers and a lot more demand than we expected. It was an outstanding success, just a huge amount of demand… Alphabet bought back $45 billion worth of stock. In the first quarter of this year, it snapped up another 15 billion. So it’s last year, 45, this year, 15. Now it is selling similar volumes. Can you believe that? Sold it, all the stock they bought last year? Wow.

1. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed during Mad Money, as he highlighted a difficult backdrop for stocks. Cramer highlighted the recent pullback in the stock, as he stated:

That pullback in the stock of Apple today. Of the big-cap stocks, Apple had been the cleanest story. It didn’t have to spend big on artificial intelligence. They had Alphabet to do it for them, and they’re being paid for doing so because they have such an outstanding and deserved user base. When you have 2.5 billion devices out there, there’s a much sought-after audience, right, and the scrum that is Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok, ChatGPT, Meta AI, you can cement your relevancy by making a deal with Apple, and that’s why Google paid them to be their search function. We don’t know the terms of the AI deal, but I think that Apple did fabulously on the whole package that now includes Gemini as Siri… When I say as Siri, what I mean is that Siri’s gotten much smarter.

How about that? Apple, is it done, and there are no more improvements? That’s what I kept hearing today: it’s done. Well, that’s just plain stupid. It’s going to get better and better. No one’s going to switch from this phone because they were disappointed by today’s Worldwide Developers Conference, except for the hedge fund guys and gals who watch our network and said, oh, it’s really bad. I mean, it wasn’t even a tradable event, although people tried to trade it, and the traders are the losers, not Apple. That said, Apple’s a leader, maybe the leader, and I don’t want to lose the leader of this stock market. We’ve lost all the other mega-cap stocks now. Forgive me for wanting one of them to keep winning because I do think Apple could have gone higher on the same info we got today. I wanted it to open down and then rally.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) manufactures and sells devices such as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, along with its line-up of wearables and accessories. The devices are supported by the company’s app ecosystem, AppleCare, and cloud tools.

While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than AAPL and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.

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

Dr. Inan Dogan

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:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

I’ve compiled everything you need to know about this groundbreaking company in a detailed, members-only report.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
