Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/7/26

  • Cramer splits the market in two: credit-dependent names like Caterpillar, Ford and IBM versus AI borrowers that price near Treasuries
  • SpaceX seeking $40 billion to buy Nvidia chips at triple-B rating, while Paramount Skydance bondholders got hit at 8%
  • Oracle flagged as the one data-center name still exposed to credit market scrutiny
  • Caller advice: swap Western Digital into cheaper Micron; Vertiv the pick after GE Vernova on data center infrastructure

AI and data-center names no longer trade off Treasury auctions, so a weak auction hits the industrial and consumer side of your book while chip and power names sail through, with Oracle the named exception. On the calls, he pushed Micron over Western Digital and ranked Vertiv right behind GE Vernova on infrastructure.

  • PepsiCo called uninvestable into Thursday earnings: down 12% this year while Coca-Cola is up 22.5%
  • Nvidia compute scarcity framed as the real money-maker behind data center and Starlink demand
  • Caller verdicts on Applied Materials, Simon Property Group, Goldman Sachs and Duke Energy at a 3.8% yield

A 4.7% PepsiCo yield loses to the 10-year, so any bounce off Thursday's earnings report is just a trade. Cramer stays long AI compute while telling snack and beer holders the consumer shift is structural.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/1/26

  • Cramer still buys Palantir at $190 after the stock gained 60% in Q3 and stalled short of his $250 target
  • Salesforce, up 46.5%, called the better SaaS-apocalypse rebound than Veeva at 30 times earnings
  • Caterpillar's 24% Q3 profit taking framed as a buying chance on data center engine demand
  • IBM, down 22% on its miss, gets the wait-a-quarter rule; Home Depot stays hostage to rates

Cramer wants to add software as the bounce-back trade and the beaten-down industrial names tied to data center power. He also warns that rising rates are the real threat heading into earnings season in a couple of weeks.
