Jim Cramer’s Latest Lightning Round: 11 Stock Recommendations

Published on March 5, 2024 at 8:02 am by Fahad Saleem in Hedge Funds, News

In this article, we will take a detailed look at Jim Cramer’s Latest Lightning Round: 11 Stock Recommendations. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article Jim Cramer’s Latest Lightning Round: 5 Stock Recommendations.

Jim Cramer yet again grilled market naysayers in his latest program on CNBC, calling them “non-believers” who he believes only got encouraged by the recent market declines. Cramer said first the bears warned everyone about the inflationary cycle after the pandemic, then they “hated” the market amid the regional banking crisis, upping their calls for a hard landing following the Fed’s rate hikes.

Jim Cramer’s Message to the “Nonbelievers”

Jim Cramer said all along these bears “failed to celebrate the market’s incredible victories” and they “ignored” the “end of high inflation.”

Jim Cramer also said that initially the market bears complained about the concentration of market gains in the Magnificent Seven group of stocks, which include companies like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT), but later ignored when the gains started to “bifurcate” to the broader market including small-cap and mid-cap stocks which Cramer believes are still “cheap.”

“What the heck is wrong with these people,” Cramer said about market skeptics.

Is AI a Bubble? Cramer’s Take

Jim Cramer also said that while market doubters called AI a bubble, they ignored crypto which Cramer believes was an “obvious bubble.” Cramer said many believe crypto is a hedge against inflation but when inflation was very high crypto performed “horribly.”

Nonetheless Cramer admitted that crypto’s “relative worth” against the US dollar is “palpable” and it “makes sense” that people are investing in crypto ETFs to hedge against inflation.

Jim Cramer also talked about AI and how some people are calling it a bubble. Cramer said while there are some companies in the industry that are “over inflated” not all AI companies are bubbles. Cramer reiterated his bullish take on NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and said the stock is undervalued. Cramer said you have to have a historical context to understand and analyze Nvidia. He said that last year NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock was apparently overvalued based on the Wall Street’s earnings estimates. Cramer said the company’s 2024 earnings estimates set by Wall Street analysts are still low and that’s why he believes the stock has more room to run.

“It is undisputed that NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) is the king of AI,” Cramer said.

In the end, Cramer recommended investors to build up their cash piles and be ready to buy when there’s a pullback.

We expect the 2.5D demand will continue to increase in 2024, and we plan to support our customers in line with market growth. The consumer end-market declined 38% for the full year. Multiple headwinds including reduced consumer spending, excess inventory, and product changeovers in the IoT wearable market and drove the decline. Within consumer, we support a broad portfolio of solutions for IoT wearables, as well as the traditional consumer products. We are engaged in the next-generation products with our lead customers that will ramp production in the course of 2024.

6. Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 28

Jim Cramer called Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) a “winner” in one of his latest programs like it was a no-brainer. Cramer said the reason why Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) does not receive a lot of attention is because it’s a “very boring company.” Cramer said this is an inexpensive stock and reiterated that he thinks the stock is a “winner.”

Commercial Metals Company (NYSE:CMC) shares have gained about 5% in 2024 so far through March 5.

During its latest earnings call the company talked about guidance:

“We expect shipment volumes within our North America Steel Group to decline sequentially due to normal seasonality during the winter months. Margins on steel products are likely to experience some further compression during the second quarter. However, recent price announcements on rebar, merchant bar, and wire rod should support an inflection point in the coming months. Downstream product margins should exhibit good stability sequentially. Conditions in Europe are expected to remain challenging, but adjusted EBITDA excluding energy rebates should improve from the levels of the past two quarters. Financial results for our Emerging Businesses Group are anticipated to follow a typical seasonal pattern with some slowing of activity in Q2.

Looking beyond the second quarter, which is CMC’s seasonally slowest period, we expect robust spring and summer construction activity driven by the increased impact of rising infrastructure investment, which should support an already healthy demand backdrop. Both the North America Steel Group and the Emerging Businesses Group should benefit from anticipated strong activity levels. Regarding the Europe Steel Group, supply-side adjustments and the impact of increasing levels of residential and infrastructure construction should drive sequential improvement in financial results beginning with the spring construction season.”

In addition to Commercial Metals, Jim Cramer is also bullish on Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT).

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

Published on November 16, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
