☆ Jim Cramer says hold still on Tesla stock after Cybercab debut flops
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-11 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

After Wall Street balked at Tesla 's highly-anticipated robotaxi unveiling, CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors not to make any moves on the stock. While he said he wouldn't recommend buying Tesla after Thursday night's event flopped, Cramer discouraged shorting the stock, saying it's "dangerous to bet against" CEO Elon Musk. While impressed by the look and concept of the robotaxi, Cramer said the event's demonstration lacked substance and failed to prove its technological prowess. By Friday's close, Tesla stock was down 8.78%, and Cramer said the market's reaction speaks for itself. "Look, Tesla has a big problem: the electric vehicle market turned out to be substantially smaller than was thought," Cramer said.

☆ Cramer's week ahead: Major banks, Taiwan Semi and Netflix report as earnings season gets into full swing
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-11 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

As earnings season takes off, CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday advised investors about what to follow next week on Wall Street. Bank of America could see a boost now that Warren Buffett is no longer required to frequently report his sales of the stock, Cramer added. Johnson & Johnson , Walgreens and UnitedHealth Group also report earnings on Tuesday, with Cramer noting that the latter regularly beats expectations. Johnson & Johnson this week saw a new development in its ongoing talc lawsuits that could aid resolution efforts. On Friday, Procter & Gamble will report, and Cramer said he's worried about the company's business in China.

☆ Jim Cramer lists 10 stocks on the S&P 500 that notched the biggest gains in the past two years
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-10 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: 1 min

For roughly the past two years, traders have bullishly invested in companies on the S&P 500 , leading the index of 500 large U.S. companies to new heights—even as the Federal Reserve issued aggressive rate hikes. Jim Cramer reflected on the lead performing stocks, with his favorite buys being Nvidia , Broadcom and Fair Isaac . "The whole first year of this bull's life was an anomaly—that's because the Fed was furiously tightening and the market went up anyway," he said. "Every night I say there's always a bull market somewhere, and for the last two years, well, it's been right in front of you." Cramer lists top 10 stocks on the S&P 500 with the biggest gains since October 12, 2022:

☆ Jim Cramer says to focus more on earnings than inflation data with Fed in a cutting cycle
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-10 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Instead, he said it's more worthwhile to follow data about individual companies from the upcoming earnings season, which kicks off Friday. The CPI — which broadly measures the cost of goods and services across the U.S. — rose by 0.2% in September, sending the annual inflation rate to 2.4%. However, the inflation rate still fell from August and hit its lowest reading since February 2021. According to Cramer, whether the Fed cuts rates or not at its next meeting, the general direction of interest rates is trending down. It would take a huge hike in the CPI reading to change the Fed's stance, he said, and Thursday's figures were not extreme.

☆ Jim Cramer criticizes DOJ's stance on Google and possible breakup

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday disagreed with the Department of Justice's move to consider a possible breakup of Google , asserting that the company benefits consumers, businesses and the U.S."Google's an aggressive company. But I defy you to find any regular people in this country who think of Google as a bad actor," he said. "Google search is the most incredible bargain in the world, and the same goes for YouTube." Cramer also questioned the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Apple and the Federal Trade Commission's case that Amazon illegally wields monopoly power. Google declined to comment, and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

☆ Jim Cramer analyzes PepsiCo's share movement in the wake of a revenue miss

CNBC's Jim Cramer said Wednesday that as earnings season begins, it's wise to keep in mind that sometimes bad news is baked into a stock's price before the report. Cramer pointed to Wall Street's reaction to PepsiCo in the lead-up to, and wake of, its Tuesday report. He noted how shares dipped but managed to recover even though the company posted a revenue miss. While the snack and beverage maker did miss on revenue, it managed to beat earnings expectations. The company lowered its full-year outlook for organic revenue, citing weak demand in North America as shoppers buy fewer snacks.

☆ Jim Cramer looks at Amazon and Apple and why it can be tough to sit on good stocks
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday described why it can be difficult for investors to sit on solid stocks. "In the last decade, the toughest thing to do is to hold on to good stocks," he said. Cramer recapped action in the stocks of Apple and Amazon , which received downgrades on Monday — ratings with which Cramer disagreed. Both stocks sold off heavily on Monday, he pointed out, but they recovered by Tuesday — hampering investors' chances of buying back shares if they sold during the previous session. "I need you to understand that when analysts downgrade after stocks have already been hammered, when really good investors ignore the positives, then, it may be a grim time," Cramer said.

In a Tuesday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, Aaron Jagdfeld, CEO of generator company Generac , warned that the pressure on the power grid is only going to increase, burdened by a massive crop of new data centers and more severe weather. Although the U.S. is adding more solar and wind power, Jagdfeld noted that these sources are "intermittent by their nature," and the increased demand for technology like artificial intelligence and electric vehicles will continue to weigh on the grid. Another deadly storm, Milton, hit Category 5 status on Tuesday and is predicted to ravage Florida's Tampa Bay region on Wednesday. I mean, the air temperatures are warming, the water temperatures are warming," Jagdfeld said. "We can debate what caused it, but I think the reality of it is the, the outcome is more extreme weather."

☆ Jim Cramer weighs in on Netflix, says he's staying bullish on the streaming giant
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-07 | by ( Julie Coleman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday explained why he's staying optimistic on Netflix , examining the bull and bear cases for the streamer by reviewing two recent analyst notes. Cramer compared reports from analysts at Barclays , who downgraded Netflix, and Piper Sandler , who upgraded the stock. According to the team at Barclays, Netflix may have trouble meeting its earnings goals, and the company's "growth algorithm will come with tradeoffs." And even if the streaming giant hits revenue targets, the analysts said Netflix's valuation assumes it can double its subscriber base, which "seems unrealistic." The analysts said Netflix can grow its subscriber base and has pricing power, adding that they're optimistic on the streamer's advertising potential.

☆ Jim Cramer counters Amazon and Apple downgrades

CNBC's Jim Cramer told investors not to get caught up in downgrades or general trading on Wall Street, reiterating his stance that there's merit to sticking with solid companies even if their share prices fluctuate. "If you listen to the downgrades, though, you'll never recover with it." Cramer said Monday had a "ridiculous plethora of sell-side downgrades," where the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.94%, the S&P 500 shed 0.96% and the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.18%. Although he acknowledged that Amazon is facing some hurdles, he disagreed with Wells Fargo's downgrade of the stock. "But if you're managing your own money, you should not be listening to all of this trading advice.

In a Friday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, Constellation Brands CEO Bill Newlands brushed off concerns about the possibility of higher tariffs, which former President Donald Trump has pledged to implement if elected. Constellation Brands is known for a variety of popular beer brands imported from Mexico, including Modelo, Corona and Pacifico. Constellation Brands reported a mixed quarter Thursday, posting an earnings beat but a slight revenue miss. The company saw success with its beer brands, but the wine and spirits segment continued to weigh on business. Newlands said Constellation Brands is in the middle of improving wine and spirits and is beginning to see some results.

CNBC's Jim Cramer reviewed next week's top market-moving action, highlighting new consumer price index data and a slew of earnings reports as the season begins, including ones from Delta , Domino's and several major banks. The labor department will release September's CPI report on Thursday, and Cramer said investors who want a rate cut are hoping for a cool number. Friday brings the producer price index report, and like the CPI, this data will be a metric for the Fed's next decision, Cramer said. Big ticket financial earnings will also come out that day, including Wells Fargo , JPMorgan and Blackrock . He said banks represent the least expensive group on the market, and investors should use any weakness to buy them.

Levi Strauss CEO Michelle Gass told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday how the denim retailer will benefit from its partnership with Beyoncé, saying the ads could help boost sales of women's clothing. "Now you bring Beyoncé into the ecosystem, you know, we think we're just set up for the long term really, really well." The collaboration comes after Beyoncé released her newest album, "Cowboy Carter," in the spring that featured a track called "LEVII'S JEANS." She claimed wholesale, a large part of Levi's business in Mexico, was down because one of the company's "key customers" had a cybersecurity breach that impacted shipping. Gass also said that the Dockers brand has "underperformed for some time," and Levi's intends to sell the business.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday opined on pervasive inflation, saying companies must bring down prices if they want to attract consumers in the current economic landscape. "Companies are so reluctant to take prices down because they don't want to hurt their treasured gross margins," he said. He also attributed some of the issues at Nike to inflation, saying they're "emblematic of how higher prices are changing the face of business." While consumers protest higher prices, Cramer said they — and Wall Street — are responding well to companies that offer bargains or have reduced prices. He added that companies that roll back prices can offset the costs with volume.

In a Tuesday interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, Chipotle CSO Jack Hartung discussed business in California since the burrito-maker upped prices in April, saying there's "macro resistance" from consumers to inflation across the industry. "Our read on California is less about resistance to our price increase, and it's more of a macro impact," Hartung said. "Because when you look at the restaurant industry, the restaurant transactions are down for everybody." The company raised prices in the state by about 7% to offset the new higher minimum wage regulations for fast-food workers, which raised the mandated hourly rate from $16 to $20 per hour. Chipotle beat Wall Street's expectations during its last quarter and reported growing market share and restaurant transactions across every income level.

He suggested the market has broadened considerably beyond Big Tech and reviewed the top performers on the S&P 500 , saying the past three months saw "the revenge of the little guy companies."

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday told investors why he's optimistic about Starbucks , reviewing the bull and bear cases for the stock recently released by different analysts. "I think he's got such a great track record that he's more than earned the benefit of the doubt." The ailing coffee change announced a change of management last month, replacing CEO Laxman Narasimhan with former Chipotle CEO Brian Niccol. Starbucks saw sales decline over the past few quarters, and shares fell more than 20% during Narasimhan's time in the role, according to CNBC. Cramer compared a bearish downgrade from Jefferies and a bullish upgrade from Bernstein, as both firms posted analyses last week.
