Quarterly EPS — reported vs estimate

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/15/26

  • Diversification pitch: Korean memory selling in SK Hynix and Samsung is bleeding into US data center names
  • Schwab called a buy near $94, under 15x this year's earnings, after AI displacement fears knocked it from $114
  • Chevron preferred over Exxon on a swap; Home Depot held as the most rate-levered name he knows
  • Trim half of Oracle after the run; Microsoft left alone into earnings on Azure strength

Cramer is pulling money toward consumer staples, retailers and oils while the data center complex cracks, and he is framing Schwab's selloff on AI-agent worries as a repeat of the 2023 banking scare that proved a buying opportunity. For anyone concentrated in AI hardware, the Oracle half-sell is the clearest sell discipline he offered all episode.

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/13/26

  • Semis called the market's ball and chain: the VanEck chip ETF fell 7.22% over six sessions, its worst streak since May of last year
  • Cramer says Micron's China memory fears are overblown, pointing to 26 long-term take-or-pay contracts running to 2030
  • Apple stays a buy into the foldable two-screen iPhone, with new Siri devices driving memory and CPU demand
  • Wells Fargo should have been a winner on Charlie Scharf's rate-sensitive setup and next-year guidance

The call is to ignore the chip tape and look at where the silicon actually goes: Cramer argues Micron and AMD demand is real even as Korean memory pricing drags the whole group lower. He also thinks the bank selloff mispriced Wells Fargo, which makes more money if rates keep climbing.
