Hedge fund Muddy Waters said Wednesday that it had shorted shares of E.l.f., alleging that the cosmetics company had overstated its inventory numbers. asked the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in February to keep its import data confidential for "competitive reasons," so Muddy Waters' claims don't hold weight.

▼ + stars: | 2024-11-21 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday reiterated his longstanding belief in Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, saying that despite the concerns of some on Wall Street, demand for the artificial intelligence behemoth's products isn't slowing down. Nvidia posted earnings Wednesday that comfortably topped estimates. Nvidia has had a meteoric rise, with shares currently up more than 196% year-to-date, and the company has posted large earnings beats quarter after quarter. According to Cramer, supply isn't set to outpace demand. Some of Nvidia's biggest customers, like Microsoft , Meta , Amazon and Tesla will have to keep buying the products, he said.

"When we price the goods the first time, we want you to say, 'wow, that's a great price, and how gorgeous is that product?'" Williams-Sonoma beat earnings and raised its outlook, sending shares to a new all-time high to finish up 27.54% by close. Alber critiqued the short-term promotion and discount pricing strategy sometimes used by other retailers, saying this approach isn't successful in the long term, as customers become "trained to wait for that promotion." She suggested customers trust the "pricing integrity" of Williams-Sonoma when it initially prices items. Williams-Sonoma is known as a high-end brand, but Alber claimed the company's prices are attainable.

☆ Jim Cramer looks at Target earnings, says consumers are loyal to value and not brands
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-20 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday said consumers right now aren't focused on brand names, but on companies that can provide the most value. The big box retailer cut its full-year guidance, and management said it saw weakness in discretionary products despite price cuts. Although the two retailers offer similar products, Cramer said Walmart is simply more affordable. He also named other discount outfits that are seeing success despite a tough consumer landscape, including Costco , TJX , Chili's-parent Brinker and Texas Roadhouse . On Wall Street, this focus on value extends beyond consumer companies and to sectors like tech, Cramer added.

☆ Jim Cramer explains why budget retailers like Walmart are seeing success
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-19 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The big box retailer posted an earnings and revenue beat on Tuesday, impressing Wall Street and sending the stock to a new 52-week high, up 3% by the close. Walmart highlighted growth in its e-commerce segment and advertising business as factors that contributed to its success. But to Cramer, the main reason Walmart's quarter impressed Wall Street is its affordable merchandise and price reductions. Walmart and peer retailers that focus on value — like Amazon and Costco — are what consumers want right now, and these retailers are some of the only ones that can afford large price rollbacks, he added. "There's something going on underneath, something that's hurting every department store, every dollar store, every mall store," Cramer said.

☆ Charts suggest market could weather Trump tariff increases, Jim Cramer says
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-19 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday said the charts suggest that fears about President-elect Donald Trump's intentions to implement major tariffs on imports won't affect the market just yet, and the impact of any actual tariffs will be lessened if the market remains bullish. Cramer examined analysis by Jessica Inskip, director of investor research at StockBrokers.com. "The charts ... suggest that tariffs had little impact on the market until they actually materialized during Trump's first term — all the saber-rattling beforehand didn't do much damage," he said. "Even when the tariffs actually hit and the market sold off, we eventually erased those losses the moment that the Fed stopped raising interest rates. But the broader market reacted when Trump actually imposed them, balking at the idea that he had ignited a global trade war, Cramer added.

☆ Jim Cramer says 'nothing truly dulls the case' for owning Tesla stock
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-18 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer made the case for owning Tesla stock, saying it's worthwhile not because President-elect Donald Trump reportedly wants to relax U.S. self-driving rules, but because of CEO Elon Musk himself. "While I don't buy the national self-driving mandate, I think nothing truly dulls the case for owning Tesla," he said. "The Musk premium will work its magic in other ways, perhaps favorable municipalities and Tesla rentals next to federal highways." But Cramer suggested that the Trump team's plans for autonomous vehicles might be easier said than done. Cramer also stressed that Tesla stands apart from its EV peers because of its tech focus.

☆ Jim Cramer weighs Nvidia stock after report of Blackwell AI chip overheating

But Cramer wasn't overly concerned, saying he views the stock decline as an investing opportunity. Nvidia stock was down 1.29% by Monday's close, and investors are waiting to see what the $3.4 trillion-dollar company will say in its earnings report on Wednesday. Cramer reiterated his faith in the company and the stock. Cramer also pointed out that Dell CEO Michael Dell, whose company is a major Nvidia customer, posted Monday that Nvidia's servers had started shipping.

☆ Cramer says an RFK Jr.-run HHS ultimately won't tank junk food and drug industries
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-15 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Even with vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tapped to potentially lead the Department of Health and Human Services, CNBC's Jim Cramer said drug and junk food industries aren't necessarily headed for ruin. "Ultimately, if RFK dons jackboots and demands that we don't have vaccines or eat junk food, it probably won't matter," he said. At the same time, Cramer added, Kennedy has taken a hard stance against processed food. Many drug and processed food stocks have already shouldered heavy losses since Trump named Kennedy, including Eli Lilly , Bristol-Myers , Moderna , PepsiCo , J.M. Plus, he continued, drug and junk food stocks aren't particularly good investments during a rate-cutting cycle.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday suggested the post-election market has been extreme, with big wins and big losses. "We have a lot of overly loved stocks in this market right now," he said. Cramer pointed out the sharp rise of enterprise software stocks, saying that it seems these companies with in-demand products for big corporations can do no wrong. Cramer also highlighted two sectors he said are "too hated," but could bounce back, including pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. For semiconductors, Cramer concluded that those companies have suffered in part because some feel that new artificial intelligence-powered PCs haven't taken off.

☆ CSX CEO talks tariffs and manufacturing: 'As long as the economy’s growing, we’ll be a part of it'
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-14 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CSX CEO Joe Hinrichs discussed what a change in tariffs and manufacturing might mean for the railroad line in a Thursday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, explaining why he thinks his company is well-positioned. "From our standpoint, actually, as long as it's coming to the U.S., we're going to move it somewhere," Hinrichs said. "If tariffs change the trade portfolio — as long as the economy's growing, we'll be a part of it." President-elect Donald Trump is expected to raise tariffs substantially when he takes office, which could change trade patterns, especially with China. Hinrichs also suggested that an increase in domestic manufacturing would be positive for CSX, something that could be bolstered by the Trump administration's tariff policies.

☆ Live Nation CEO talks consumer demand, says live music is 'a very scarce commodity'

Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday that the nature of live music keeps it in demand, which helps the business stay strong — even though some consumer-oriented companies report a pullback due to inflation. Live Nation, which also owns Ticketmaster, has its hand in many aspects of the industry. Live Nation shares jumped more than 4% Tuesday after the company posted earnings and reported its most successful summer concert season to date. Rapino claimed that 2025 would likely be "a record year" with a lot of stadium performances, adding that Live Nation has already sold more than 20 million tickets. "The amount of music available to the consumer today has just propelled this idea that they want to see the live show."

☆ Jim Cramer explains why the promise of tax cuts could have sent stocks lower on Tuesday
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-12 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer examined Tuesday's market action, saying the rally fueled by the victory of President-elect Donald Trump took a breather as Wall Street weighs what broad tax cuts could mean for the bond market. Cramer called the day's moves a "sobering reaction to the potential unfunded tax cuts from the bond market," as both the 10-year and 2-year Treasury yields surged more than 4%. The bond market and the stock market usually have a negative correlation, with investors coming in and out of each depending on yields. Trump campaigned on the promise of tax cuts across a wide swath of sectors. Many on Wall Street expect these cuts will come in aggregate, but remain unsure of the specifics, Cramer noted.

"I would expect most states over the long term will have some form of legal sports betting, and hopefully we'll get those three."
