Nvidia, which makes microchips that power most artificial intelligence applications, began an extraordinary run a year ago. Fueled by an explosion of interest in A.I., the Silicon Valley company said last May that it expected its chip sales to go through the roof. They did — and the fervor didn’t stop, with Nvidia raising its revenue projections every few months.

Matt Boss of JPMorgan — Jim Cramer's favorite retail analyst — said Friday that several off-price retailers, including Ross Stores , Burlington Stores , and Club holding TJX, were buys. One possible catalyst for TJX stock is the company's quarterly earnings report this coming Wednesday before the opening bell. Part of the reason is also the growing appeal in off-price retailers and discounters as consumers in higher and higher income brackets seek value. "I continue to think that Costco is the stock to buy off of Walmart," Jim said Thursday.
