Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/26/26

  • Cramer's bear case: a flood of IPOs and secondaries, $148B raised so far this year, drains the money that funds stocks
  • Applied Materials down from $739 to $387: buy 25 shares now, add on the pattern, finish in the 200s
  • Moderna after a parabolic move: let it come in before earnings, no buying parabolic charts
  • Thermo Fisher CEO on a beat-and-raise, BlackBerry's turnaround, and CrowdStrike cyber worries on deck

The call that matters for holders here is supply: Cramer argues the equity and debt markets are nearly tapped out after Meta, Alphabet and SpaceX raisings, with Anthropic's S1 now in line. He stops short of calling a top while pushing for buybacks and takeovers over further deals, favoring staged buying in Applied Materials and patience on Moderna.

Management raised its full-year free cash flow target to an increase of more than $1 billion, because software carried the quarter. Both lines topped consensus, and the fading mainframe cycle no longer dents the story.

New insider tie · Form 3Frank Baker
Now director at INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP

Private equity gets a seat at the table of a $213.5 billion tech giant. Baker, co-founder of Siris Capital, built his career carving up and reshaping aging technology companies, and his first Form 3 puts that playbook inside IBM's boardroom as the hybrid cloud and AI buildout eats capital.

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.

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.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/24/26

  • Cramer pushes back on index-fund supremacy, calling the absolutist version of it wrong
  • Still recommends 50% of savings in an S&P 500 fund as a hedge against your own mistakes
  • Argues the S&P holds far fewer than 500 good stocks, so you buy the bad with the good
  • Caller questions on portfolio structure for young investors, 529 plans, and retirement vs. mad money

Put half in an index fund as insurance, the other half in individual names you have actually done the homework on. Cramer's case is that an S&P 500 fund gives you 8% to 10% a year and mediocrity alongside the winners, which is why he says it will not make you rich on its own.
