We recently published a list of Jim Cramer’s Latest Stock Moves: Top 10 Calls. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:DELL) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
Jim Cramer in a recent program on CNBC expressed his frustration over the recent market selloff following tariff uncertainties. Cramer said non-US markets are performing well and had something to say to President Donald Trump.
“Remember, this whole situation is manufactured by the Walmart White House because almost every other market around the globe is crushing ours. They’re all doing better than we are. I don’t know who’s advising the president. I know what he is doing is important work, and I am no free trader. I am not even a fair trader. I’m a tariff guy. But I think you can kill more flies with honey right now, and certainly more than nuclear weapons.
Now, the president can roll him back if he wants to, but he generally believes his tariffs are the right thing to do, which is why they’ll probably keep coming with no finesse whatsoever — just brute force. Which I have to tell you, and including you, Mr. President, there are other ways and better ways to get things done.”

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC mentioned some reasons behind the unimpressive stock performance of Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:DELL).
“Dell Technologies, the iconic maker of personal computers, servers, and storage equipment that I’ve liked for a very long time, has gone from one of the big winners of the AI infrastructure story to a name that just can’t seem to catch a bid, as investors have turned against anything AI-related. Dell servers are the way that many enterprise customers actually get access to NVIDIA’s fancy chips, and their storage products are used in many AI infrastructure stacks. On top of the hardware, the company has a consulting business that basically tells customers what they need as they build out their AI infrastructure. That’s why the stock rallied 90% in 2023 and more than doubled in the first five months of last year, charging all the way up to 180 in last May. Those were house-young times. Since then, though, the stock of this amazing company has been acting terribly. It’s essentially been cut in half, falling back to the low 90s today. Now, initially, there was a period of choppy trading last summer, and after a couple of mixed quarters, well, you know what? That’s what happened. When I covered the stock last September at 110, I told you it was still worth owning. Sure enough, the stock then rebounded to $147 and change in late November. Since then, though, the stock’s really rolled over again, and it’s been trading—well, let’s say it’s been trending lower, how about that? Some of it has to do with the belief that no one’s going to make any money off of AI except Nvidia.”
Over the past one year Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:DELL) shares are down 19%.
Overall, DELL ranks 5th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of DELL, our conviction lies in the belief that under the radar AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than DELL but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
