Jim Cramer’s Biggest Losers: 10 Stocks That Just Didn’t Work Out

Page 1 of 3

In this article, we will discuss: Jim Cramer’s Biggest Losers: 10 Stocks That Just Didn’t Work Out. For more stocks, you can head to Jim Cramer’s Biggest Losers: 5 Stocks That Just Didn’t Work Out.

With social media giant Meta’s shares down by 4.9% since it announced plans to sell excess data center capacity, CNBC’s Jim Cramer is lost for words. On July 1st, Cramer confirmed that Meta would sell excess computing capacity. The news was also reported by Bloomberg News, and the firm could change its mind soon, the publication reported. As news broke, Cramer tweeted:

“Meta follows through with plan i put out! Good”

He then added that the news changed the fundamental equation for the social media company. Carrying with his enthusiasm, Cramer outlined:

“META news changes the entire model. Worth much more than this if news is right”

In fact, he went as far as to wager a guess at the share price:

“I reiterate what i have been telling club members. This Meta news is worth $100”

Meta’s shares gained $49 during the day to close 8.8% higher on July 1st. Cramer couldn’t believe the movement and tweeted:

“I find it difficult to believe that Meta was up only 49 points when it is getting into the most lucrative game, business-to-business at 18x eps????”

However, as if a ‘mere’ $49 gain weren’t enough, the next day came with another surprise for the stock. While it closed 8% higher on the 1st, the shares dipped on the next day and closed 4.9% lower after losing $30. Net, Meta’s shares gained $19.6 following the news, which is one-fifth of what Cramer believed would occur.

The CNBC TV host’s latest remarks about the firm were unsurprising, as he has been one of its biggest supporters. He has asserted that Meta needs to aggressively spend on AI infrastructure even though it does not have an established cloud computing business. You should check out his thoughts in detail later in this piece.

Our Methodology

To make our list of Jim Cramer’s worst stock picks, we made a list of stocks that he was optimistic about in January 2026. Then, their performance since the comments were made was calculated, and the stocks were ranked accordingly. Additionally, the number of hedge fund investors back then was also mentioned. Finally, the number of investors as of the first quarter of 2026 was also mentioned for additional context.

Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 599.2% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 372 percentage points (see more details here).

10. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q3 2025: 234

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 275

Performance Since Cramer’s Remarks: 3.6%

Date/Month of Cramer’s Remarks: January 5th, 2026

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of Jim Cramer’s favorite stocks. The CNBC TV host has stuck with the firm despite its weak share price performance in 2026. Media reports have suggested that some of the stock’s troubles are due to macroeconomic factors. For instance, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s shares closed 6.2% lower on June 5th. On that day, the payrolls repor for May showed that nonfarm payrolls jumped by 172,000, which was significantly higher than the consensus estimate of 80,000. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s shares had lost 6.4% between April 28th and the 30th, with reports emerging on the 28th that AI giant OpenAI had missed its revenue estimates. As the year started, Cramer asserted that the stock was worth owning:

“But I would say that NVIDIA is the one to watch because it’s been underperforming in the last month and it’s going to come fast out of the gate. And I think this revolutionary speech, that I expect Jensen to give tonight, is going to quantify why accelerated computing is often left out of the equation.

“You gotta own that, it doesn’t reflect that. I think it’s going to have a great first quarter, the price-to-earnings multiple is going to shrink when you actually see the numbers. . .”

9. Bank Of America Corp (NYSE:BAC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q3 2025: 111

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 106

Performance Since Cramer’s Remarks: 2.6%

Date/Month of Cramer’s Remarks: January 6th, 2026

Banking giant Bank Of America Corp (NYSE:BAC)’s shares are up by 20.7% over the past year and by 5% year-to-date. Citi discussed the firm on June 23rd as it raised the share price target to $66 from $62 and kept a Buy rating on the shares. Citi based its coverage on Bank Of America Corp (NYSE:BAC)’s management commentary and outlined that it expected the firm to deliver strong second quarter earnings. A couple of days later, on the 29th, Morgan Stanley also raised the share price target. It hiked Bank Of America Corp (NYSE:BAC)’s price target to $67 from $61 and kept an Overweight rating on the stock on the back of an expected buildup in revenue momentum. The shares currently trade at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 14.6 and a forward P/E ratio of 13.21. Even though Cramer had asserted in January that the stock should be trading at a P/E of 15, it seems that the market doesn’t agree with him:

“Look, Bank of America, okay, that sells at 15 times earnings. I’m sorry that’s an insult to Brian Moynihan. 15 times earnings, they have a lot of technology, they’ve done a really good job, they keep adding accounts. And it sells at 15 times earnings. So you can buy that and have it go higher.”

8. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q3 2025: 120

Number of Hedge Fund Holdings in Q1 2026: 131

Performance Since Cramer’s Remarks: 0%

Date/Month of Cramer’s Remarks: January 6th, 2026

Banking giant JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)’s shares are flat since Cramer commented on them in January. Over the past year, the stock is up by 14.6%, while year-to-date it is up by 2.8%. The shares fluctuated in late May after CEO Jamie Dimon remarked at a fireside chat that he was not comforted by what he saw as exuberance in the market. Soon after Cramer’s remarks, on the 13th, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)’s shares closed 4% lower. The dip came after the firm’s fourth quarter earnings report, which saw it beat analyst revenue and earnings estimates. However, media reports suggested that the stock had also reacted to fears about the Trump administration taking action in the credit markets. The bank also unveiled a $50 billion share buyback program in June. In January, Cramer discussed JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM)’s valuation multiple. As with his opinion of others, such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, he remarked that the multiple was too low:

“Look, I think this kind of trading is really ill- advised. Long-term, I believe it’s going to give you suboptimal returns. It’s very rare these days that everything is unexploited at the opening. You were simply too late as the trade was over by the opening bell. What should we be talking about instead of Venezuela?… How about the bank stocks? Coming into this year, I tried to determine what stocks are still cheap so you’d have something to pull back on if these stocks were to go down. I looked at the Charitable Trust names such as, and I also looked at JPMorgan and Citigroup, and based on their valuations, these stocks are still outrageously cheap versus the rest of the market. If they go down, you know what you can do? You can buy more of them.”

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:

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.

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.
