As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 21, 2026.
Cramer's semiconductor picks signal where he sees the most near-term upside in the chip cycle.
OK, IF you have to, lets go with Micron, AMAT and Intel/AMD for the ones I like the best....for this part of the food chain.n

In a post on X, Jim Cramer singled out Micron (MU), Applied Materials (AMAT), Intel (INTC), and AMD as his preferred names within this part of the semiconductor supply chain. The phrasing — 'if you have to' — suggests a degree of caution, but Cramer still ranked these four above their peers for near-term appeal.
The picks span different corners of the chip ecosystem: Micron on the memory side, Applied Materials in semiconductor equipment, and Intel and AMD competing in processors. That spread implies Cramer sees potential across multiple links of the chip production chain rather than concentrating on a single segment.
