On Tuesday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer expressed his unwavering confidence in NVIDIA shares, despite the company’s significant market capitalization losses. He emphasized his strategy of sticking with top-performing companies rather than catering to those seeking broader market participation. Last week, NVIDIA reached a valuation of $3.34 trillion, surpassing Microsoft to become the world’s largest company. However, the stock faced a 13% decline over three days, although it showed signs of recovery on Tuesday but still closed about 7% below its peak.
Cramer highlighted the importance of identifying robust companies capable of weathering challenging consumer environments and interest rate fluctuations. He pointed out the struggles faced by Pool Corporation, a pool equipment manufacturer, whose shares dropped due to weakened consumer demand. This decline had a ripple effect on related consumer and housing stocks like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Unlike Pool Corp., Cramer noted that Nvidia’s enterprise customers are unlikely to switch to competitors due to the risk of falling behind in cloud infrastructure. He emphasized that companies like Nvidia, with strong cash reserves, remain unfazed by interest rate changes.
Despite Nvidia’s recent setbacks, Cramer maintained that owning Nvidia stock is easier than investing in companies reliant on unpredictable consumer behavior. He suggested that trying to time the market with these companies could cause investors to miss out on potential rebounds. Nvidia declined to comment on Cramer’s remarks.
