Jim Cramer posted on August 31 that the data center thesis is "getting whacked around again," and that a union issue that spooked the sector burned off within a single session.
His read is that headline risks hitting AI infrastructure names keep cycling in and disappearing before they can do lasting damage, leaving the underlying build cycle intact.
