We recently published a list of Jim Cramer’s Latest Calls: Top 10 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE:CTRA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
Jim Cramer in a recent program on CNBC discussed the massive tech sell-off on the back of a new AI LLM model from Chinese startup DeepSeek. Cramer was frank and honest about the level of confusion in the market and said he does not know the implications of the new model on US tech stocks given the lack of data and specifics. He thought out loud about the factors that can weigh on US companies after the breakthrough achieved by DeepSeek:
“There could be some serious buyer’s remorse now. Maybe all the spending going to (Jensen Huang’s company) was needless overpay. Maybe the gigantic number of data centers being built, which are a huge driver of growth in our country, simply aren’t needed. Maybe all the cooling process expenses are a big mistake. Maybe the rush to reopen old nuclear plants, put up more renewable generation, and even bring back coal is totally unnecessary. Today, the air went out of every one of these balloons.”
Cramer said he’d be looking out to know how many chips DeepSeek required to reach this software breakthrough to gauge the impact on demand for US AI chip companies. He said stocks could either rebound from all of this or continue to slide:
“And whether numbers now have to come down because there will be a freeze in spending as clients reassess those multi-billion dollar orders. Maybe it’ll be like the pause in the internet build-out of 2000 that turned out not to be a pause at all, but a collapse.”

“We sold a little Coterra Energy (NYSE:CTRA) because it’s been up in a straight line—it was in a parabolic move. Now we’re watching and waiting. But I do think it’s the cheapest natural gas company, which is very good for a president who wants to export natural gas.”
Diamond Hill Mid Cap Strategy stated the following regarding Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE:CTRA) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:
“Among our bottom Q3 contributors were Civitas Resources, Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE:CTRA) Energy and Ashland. Oil and gas exploration and production companies Civitas Resources and Coterra Energy were pressured against a backdrop of weakening future global oil demand, which weighed in turn on West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude prices and, consequently, the energy sector overall.”
