In the lightning round, Jim Cramer offers cautious advice on biotech and autonomous vehicle stocks, favors established companies like Pan American Silver in commodities, and is monitoring FMC amid trade developments. He concludes by expressing strong confidence in Nvidia as a top investment in the AI sector.
In this lightning round segment, Jim Cramer takes questions from viewers about various stocks and sectors, offering his candid opinions and investment advice. The session begins with a question about biotech companies, specifically Insmed. Cramer expresses caution about biotech stocks in general due to their tendency to lose significant amounts of money. While he acknowledges that such stocks can be speculative plays, he does not recommend them for his charitable trust, emphasizing the high risk involved.
Next, a caller from Arizona asks about Ouster Inc., a San Francisco-based company specializing in high-resolution lidar sensors for applications in automobiles, factories, and robotics. Cramer recognizes Ouster as a leader in its field but remains skeptical about investing in autonomous vehicle-related companies beyond Tesla. He points out that many companies in this space have been losing money and considers the sector too speculative for investment at this time.
A caller from Michigan inquires about silver and a specific company, Majestic Silver Corp. Cramer expresses a positive view on silver as a commodity but admits unfamiliarity with Majestic Silver. Instead, he recommends Pan American Silver, a company he has followed for a long time due to its consistent profitability. This highlights Cramer’s preference for established, financially stable companies within commodity sectors.
Another question comes from Tennessee about FMC, a company involved in agricultural chemicals. Cramer notes that FMC is an interesting story, especially in light of recent political developments, such as the U.S. imposing a 50% tariff on Brazil, a competitor in agriculture. He suggests that the impact of this tariff on FMC’s business is still uncertain and that he is monitoring the situation before making a definitive investment recommendation.
Finally, a caller from Illinois mentions a stock symbol “I” and expresses optimism about young investors driving the market higher. Cramer responds by dismissing “I” due to its poor financial performance but concludes the round by stating his strong belief in Nvidia when it comes to AI investments. This endorsement underscores Cramer’s confidence in Nvidia as a leading player in the AI sector, wrapping up the lightning round on a decisive note.
