12. Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 68

Cramer’s reluctance to own Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) was apparent as he said:

“Oh, Intel reports too. Let’s hope they have a way to raise cash. Different story than Apple. They need it. Their balance sheet’s heinous. You can’t own the stock until they fix it.”

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) designs and manufactures computing products, including processors, memory, and artificial intelligence solutions. Recently, as Cramer discussed the company, he called it a “national treasure” and said:

“Intel is a national treasure people, it can’t be allowed to fail. Too dire a possibility? I don’t think so. Its balance sheet is a mess, its product line isn’t good enough, I don’t know if it can deliver on many of its promises to [the] government. Sure, nice guy messianic former CEO Pat Gelsinger is gone but so what? Intel needs a plan in 30 days, so the stock will keep coming down even after last year’s staggering 60% decline. Intel’s too big to be bought, too indebted to be finessed… The risk is existential.”
