Jim Cramer Says These 10 Stocks Will Go Higher in Trump Presidency

Page 1 of 5

In this article, we will take a detailed look Jim Cramer Says These 10 Stocks Will Go Higher in Trump Presidency.

In a recent program, Jim Cramer celebrated the market’s rally on Donald Trump’s election victory, saying the market likes Trump.

“The market likes Donald J. Trump, and it loves a peaceful transition to the next president. We got both, and we had a monster celebration. It was a full jailbreak, and the bears never knew what trampled them. Now, though, with the inclusion of this amazing session, we have to ask: have you missed the Trump rally?”

Cramer said the answer to the question of whether you missed the Trump rally lies in the stock you have in your mind. He said many were expecting a contested election and there was a lot of uncertainty around transition. However, that did not happen and that was in itself a win for the market.

“Trump wants to cut taxes—all taxes—including corporate taxes. Some numbers go higher, estimates go higher, earnings-per-share go higher. You do need to see interest rates go low for things to really work. Someday this is going to matter. It’s hard to keep doing this and piling on debt. But party on until we see damage; that’s what it felt like to me, seems to be the mantra.”

Cramer said the market is still “oversold” as many Trump stocks underwent a massive selloff after Kamala Harris reportedly started to gain ground. However, Cramer said the polls were again proved wrong.

Cramer then talked about the stocks that investors can buy to ride the Trump rally.

With each company, we have mentioned the number of hedge fund investors. 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 275% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 150 percentage points (see more details here).

10. Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 40

Talking about Nucor, Cramer said:

“The President-elect wants to protect the American industry he is here to protect Nucor from Chinese steel which is transhipped through Mexico right now. And the Biden administration did nothing about it. I’d buy that stock of Nucor even up here. Cleveland Cliffs and U.S. Steel should do well too—they’re not as good as Nucor, but they’re good.”

Earlier this year, Morgan Stanley upgraded Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) to “Overweight” from “Equal Weight” with a $176 price target. The bank highlighted that despite strong earnings growth and cash generation expected in 2025 and 2026, the stock has underperformed its peers.

Analyst Carlos de Alba noted that Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) currently trades at a discount to Steel Dynamics (STLD) on an EV/EBITDA basis for 2025, while its P/E premium is below its five-year average. De Alba believes this discount is unjustified given Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE)’s higher expected earnings growth.

De Alba also favors Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) over Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF), citing expected subdued auto production in the second half of 2024, which he thinks will limit upside for flat steel prices and constrain Cliffs’ earnings recovery.

With over 50 years of consecutive dividend increases, steel company Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) is one of the best stocks that can benefit from a Trump presidency, according to Wolfe Research. Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) has been on an acquisition spree lately, expanding into new growth areas. In April, Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) bought data center infrastructure firm Southwest Data Products, Inc. (SWDP) for $115 million.

With the deal Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) entered the AI infrastructure market where specific solutions to maintain cool temperatures at data centers are in high demand. To address this market, Nucor Corp (NYSE:NUE) is creating a dedicated group.

9. Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 42

A caller recently asked Jim Cramer about MCD. Cramer instead recommended Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) as a better buy.

“Don’t know if you caught last night’s show. We had a Texas—Texas Roadhouse on yesterday. TXRH. And I don’t know about you, maybe you can pull it up online, but it was incredible. And it is making me rethink the restaurant group. I think Texas Roadhouse is a better stock, though, than McDonald’s.”

Despite tough competition in the industry, Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) is growing. In the third quarter,  Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) achieved 8.5% growth in comparable sales, driven by a 3.8% increase in traffic and 4.7% growth in the average check per guest. Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) opened seven company-owned restaurants domestically and three internationally, with a target of 30 company-owned and 14 franchise-owned restaurants for the year. Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) acquired 13 franchised locations, set to operate under its control starting in FY 2025, which will significantly boost revenue growth and operating cash flow.

Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) is also on track to convert 250 restaurants to its Digital Kitchens by the end of FY 2024, with plans to convert an additional 300 units in FY 2025.

Over the past two years Texas Roadhouse Inc (NASDAQ:TXRH) has grown from 162 to nearly 775 units, a 350% increase, and expanding its workforce to over 100,000 employees.

Baird Mid Cap Growth Equity Strategy stated the following regarding Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (NASDAQ:TXRH) in its Q2 2024 investor letter:

“Adjustments made to our consumer discretionary exposure include the addition of two new positions, Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (NASDAQ:TXRH) and Dutch Bros—both restaurants. Texas Roadhouse is a full-service casual dining chain with a long history of consistent sales and profit growth and above-average returns. We believe recent inflationary pressures across the restaurant space have broadened Texas Roadhouse’s competitive positioning.”

8. Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 44

Jim Cramer said in the latest program that Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) can go much higher amid the Trump presidency.

“There’s a sense that a Trump presidency will bring more hacks …This one will do best ..Palantir, upending the Pentagon procurement process, making it possible for us to play offense in cybersecurity. President-elect Trump is going to have a lot of fun with Alex Karp, the co-founder and CEO. That stock could go much higher; I don’t care about the valuation. I know it’s a popular stock—it can go higher.

What makes Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) one of the top AI stocks? Its technologies are actually solving the problems of businesses. Palantir’s data technology Ontology is solving the famous hallucination problem for AI systems, thanks to the company’s years of experience with military and defense systems. Earlier this year at an event with customers, Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) shared some specifics on how its customers are being able to reduce costs and increase profits due to its artificial intelligence platform (AIP) that was launched about a year ago.

Airbus accelerated A350 production by 33%, BP reduced costs per barrel by 60%, and Jacobs Connect cut power usage by 30%. Panasonic decreased waste by 12%, ESI Group sped up ERP harmonization by 70%, and PG&E reduced transformer ignitions by 65%. Eaton boosted productivity by 25%, while Tyson Foods achieved $200 million in cost savings.

However, Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) stock’s valuation has been a concern for many.

The stock is trading at about 21.2 times the next 12 months (NTM) revenue. For fiscal year 2024, Palantir expects revenue growth of 24% year-over-year (YoY) to $2.746 billion, with an adjusted operating income of $970 million, representing a 35.3% margin. However, revenue growth is expected to slow over the next two years, with estimates suggesting a 22% YoY growth rate, potentially bringing revenues to around $4 billion by fiscal 2026. If Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) can improve margins by 100 basis points annually, it would be able to generate about $1.5 billion in adjusted operating income by FY26, with a present value of $1.3 billion when discounted at 8%. Applying an S&P 500-like growth multiple of 2.5 to 2.75 times earnings, Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) would have a P/E of 46, translating to a price target of $27, significantly down from its current price of $42.

7. Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 45

Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer likes after Donald Trump’s victory in the elections.

“I like the refiners, think Valero, Phillips 66 and Marathon P. Because I thought we were gonna have a Democratic field day against these three, no, not going to happen, no.”

Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) has posted YTD earnings of $6.6 per share, with prices slightly below the 10-year annual range. This suggests an average annualized EPS of $9-10, placing Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) at the lower end of a teen P/E ratio, which is a more reasonable valuation, assuming a margin recovery.

Despite Trump’s victory, the stock could see volatility ahead due to high supply and weak demand. Plans to increase drilling could add to supply, pushing down prices and spreads, potentially impacting Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO)’s recovery.

California’s anti-refining stance could push the state to raise inventories, and Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) has considered closing refineries there. Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) has also faced over $80 million in fines for air quality violations. However, the risks are overstated, as new refinery construction is restricted in California, giving Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) a dominant position. This is why its West Coast division earns 70% higher profits than other regions. While the company opposes policies threatening this advantage, it would likely avoid shutting profitable refineries, so concerns here seem exaggerated.

6. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 85

Talking about different stocks that have the “staying power” after Donald Trump’s victory in the elections, Cramer said Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) rally “has legs.”

“I’m telling you, I can’t believe it was up much more. For Trump, politics is personal; he will reward Elon Musk as much as he can, given the constraints of the law. Tesla does need some things, and Elon Musk wants self-driving approval nationwide. Trump might push for interstate self-driving,” Cramer said.

The Tesla Robotaxi event disappointed investors. Notably absent was the discussion of a “more affordable” model that Musk had previously mentioned to boost confidence in Tesla’s vehicle sales growth outlook.

What about the $30,000 price tag claim?

Musk has indicated that the Cybercab will have a production cost of approximately $30,000. Operating within the Robotaxi fleet is projected to cost around $0.20 per mile. With a production cost of $30,000, the retail price of the Cybercab is likely to exceed this figure. For instance, if the Cybercab is priced at $30,000 per unit, that translates to $15,000 per seat. In contrast, the average price per passenger seat in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s most affordable long-range RWD Model 3—factoring in full self-driving (FSD) licensing—is under $10,000 ($29,990 post-incentive vehicle price plus $8,000 for the FSD license, divided by four passenger seats). Regarding operational costs, while the Cybercab is expected to cost $0.20 per mile, charging the Model 3 is estimated at under $0.10 per mile, leaving a significant margin to cover maintenance and downtime.

There is a lot of hype around Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) robo taxis but many believe they will not be enough to fix the company’s long-term challenges.

What are these challenges?

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) product lineup is showing signs of stagnation, with over 95% of sales still coming from the Model 3 and Model Y. Meanwhile, competitors are rolling out more advanced models. Even Rivian’s CEO suggested Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) could be nearing market saturation for these models. According to Reuters, Tesla’s market share in Europe is slipping as legacy automakers like BMW post stronger sales. Chinese competitor BYD is also gaining ground in Europe, despite talk of tariffs.

5. ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 97

A caller recently told Jim Cramer how he bought ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW) after Cramer’s recommendation and bagged some profits. Cramer commented:

“New price target. I’m going to say the stock goes to 1200. It is at 994, it is going to 1200. It is probably one of the best stocks in this entire market to buy. You have my blessing to keep it until $1200.”

ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW) impressed the market with strong Q3 results. But can the stock keep going higher? ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW) recently launched its Now Platform Xanadu, adding more than 350 out-of-the-box generative AI capabilities to Now Assist. These features include data visualization automation, chat- and email-reply generation, change summaries, and LLM-based proactive prompts in Virtual Agent.

ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW) also released RaptorDB Pro, a high-performance database enabling customers to centralize operational data and analytics onto ServiceNow platforms. These platforms are expanding the company’s abilities in the IT market.

ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW) bulls believe the company’s organic revenue growth after fiscal 2025 could clock in between 20% to 22%. ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:NOW) can also expand its margins by 250bps annually, driven by 100bps from gross profits, 100bps from R&D reductions, and 50bps from SG&A leverage.

NOW will also benefit from organic growth catalysts. Grand View Research predicts that the global information technology service management (ITSM) market will grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2023 to 2030.

The #1 Lithium Stock to Watch Going into 2025

A Recent Monumental Shift in the Mining Arena has Shined a Big Spotlight on Lithium!

Many eyes are once again locked on the critical mineral since Rio Tinto, the 2nd largest mining company in the world, acquired Arcadium Lithium PLC. The acquisition immediately catapulted Rio Tinto to becoming the world’s 3rd largest lithium producer.

Why would a big mining giant like Rio Tinto be interested in acquiring a lithium producer?

Because they recognize there is a tremendous need for lithium in the world’s energy transition. Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm said Rio is confident that long-term demand for lithium will be strong.

This is the largest mining deal in the world since 2007 and marks a significant milestone to the lithium industry as it depicts a massive shift in sentiment from the big mining companies.

As the race to find secure lithium supplies continues, an underfollowed lithium explorer is causing quite the commotion as Wall Street learns about the company’s disruptive lithium land package in Brazil!

Why is Brazil Important?

In less than two years, Brazil emerged from ZERO exports to the fifth-largest lithium exporter in 2023 with projections of a fivefold production increase in the next five years! To say that Brazil is undergoing a lithium boom is an understatement!

Lithium exploration is accelerating in Brazil, in the wake of the relaxing of regulations and growing demand for the mineral that’s crucial to the global transition to electric vehicles. The country has relaxed its lithium export regulations, which has attracted global investment and transformed the country into a major producer of the critical element.

Brazil is being noticed for its prolific lithium appeal…

In August 2024, Australian lithium giant Pilbara Minerals announced its plans to acquire Latin Resources for approximately A$559.9m ($371.12m) to diversify its operations.
