Jim Cramer's tech calls are still lagging the rest of his book. Intel is 1 for 5, and IBM crashed the day after his second buy call.
Jim Cramer's tech calls are still his weak spot. Intel is 1 for 5 since June, IBM is down nearly 30% since his back-to-back buy calls, and his tech picks trail the Nasdaq-100 by more than three points a call even after Tuesday's chip bounce.
Microsoft (MSFT) is testing Moonshot's Kimi K3 for Copilot to cut its Azure AI bill by $600 million
Microsoft is testing Moonshot's Kimi K3 for Azure and Copilot, hoping to cut AI costs by $600 million, the same week the model's launch gave chip stocks a rough ride and its maker began prepping a $30 billion Hong Kong IPO.
Google is baking Gemini's blueprint directly into a new chip. The stock jumped 3%, and earnings land Wednesday
Alphabet shares jumped about 3% Monday on a report that it's building a new AI chip called Frozen v2, one that bakes Gemini's own architecture into the silicon. The real test comes Wednesday, when Alphabet reports Q2 earnings.
Kimi AI stopped taking new signups days after launch as GPU demand maxed out. Alphabet (GOOGL), Tesla (TSLA) and Intel (INTC) report into a chip bear market (week of July 20, 2026)
Moonshot paused new Kimi subscriptions three days after K3 launched because its GPUs hit capacity, which was our whole argument for chip stocks. This week: Alphabet, Tesla, Intel and Nokia earnings, $88 oil, and a Kospi reopen.
Jim Cramer blessed IBM on Monday. Tuesday was its worst day ever. Wednesday he blessed my Intel. Thursday it dropped.
Jim Cramer told viewers to buy IBM on July 13. It fell 25% the next day, the worst session in the company's history. Then he turned bearish at the bottom and has been right since. On Wednesday he called Intel his favorite stock for the fifth time since June. I own Intel. Thursday it dropped another 3.5%.
We built a stock score tool. It gave Intel a D, and I bought the stock anyway.
One pick in every layer of the AI hardware stack, each one graded by the SEC-filings scoring tool we just built. Four picks agree with the tool: NVDA, WDC, TSM, VRT. Micron is a partial. INTC and COHR do not agree with the tool at all, and I am holding both anyway.
Inside the AI hardware stack, from Nvidia's chips to the grid that powers them
An AI data center is seven layers of hardware: GPUs, memory, storage, CPUs, networking, manufacturing, and power. Here's the full map, with the public companies behind each layer and where the bottlenecks actually are.
Intel hired away SK Hynix's memory boss, and nobody's pricing that in yet
The government owns 10% of Intel. It hired SK Hynix's former CEO to run advanced packaging, not to build DRAM. Here's why that combo, plus July 23 earnings, has me watching INTC closely.
Bullish Watch, week of July 13: the market panicked over a Meta headline, and got it wrong
This week's watchlist, updated through Tuesday: Nebius gave back its early bounce on a data-center headline unrelated to its business, Kraken Robotics is holding up best of the five, Intel swung from a 6% drop to a 4.5% rally in two days, and Rocket Lab and Harmonic are still finding their footing.
Jim Cramer's tech calls, like Micron and Intel, are missing far more than everything else
We pulled 23 of Jim Cramer's stock calls from late April through early July and checked the real numbers. His tech picks are down 7.2% on average with just 1 winner out of 10. His other calls are roughly flat, and just under half are green.
Chips had their third worst day of 2026 and the S&P barely noticed (MU, INTC)
The S&P 500 closed within a whisker of flat on July 1 and the chip trade still had its third worst day of the year. Micron fell 10.5 percent, Intel lost 9 percent, and Meta gained almost 9 percent on the other side. Here is the damage report.
Intel's turnaround, AMD's run, and why the CPU still matters in AI
Intel (INTC) was the comeback story of 2026, up about 278% in the first half on a foundry turnaround. AMD (AMD) rose about 171% on the same theme. A deep dive into what changed at Intel, how AMD keeps taking share, and why the CPU still matters in an AI world obsessed with GPUs.
The AI stocks that led and lagged the first half of 2026
The first half of 2026 split the AI trade in two. Memory and chip-supply names like Micron (MU, +304%) and Intel (INTC, +278%) soared, while marquee names lagged and AI software fell, with Palantir (PLTR) down about 34%. Here is the full scoreboard and what it means.
What is a chip foundry? Why almost every AI chip is made by one company, TSMC (TSM)
Nvidia, Apple and AMD design chips but do not make them. A plain-English guide to what a semiconductor foundry is, the fabless model, why TSMC (TSM) makes around 70 percent of the world's chips, and the packaging bottleneck holding back AI.
The AI shortage keeps moving: from GPUs to memory, and now to hard drives (STX, WDC)
The AI shortage keeps rotating down the supply chain: first GPUs, then compute and networking, now memory, and hard drives are the leg lighting up next. The pattern, the stock moves at each stage, and what could be next.
Nancy Pelosi's latest disclosure: Intel and Uber, then and now
Nancy Pelosi's household disclosed new call options on Intel and Uber. What the filing says, what the strike and dates mean, and how both stocks have moved since.
This month's top AI stocks in overnight trading: Marvell leads, Dell a one-night spike
We split a month of AI stock returns into overnight versus intraday. Dell and Marvell led overnight at about 32%, but Dell's came almost entirely from one earnings night, while Marvell's was the real repeating pattern.
The AI stock map: every layer of the trade, from sand to software
A top-to-bottom deep dive on the AI supply chain, from the machines that make the chips down to the hyperscalers writing the checks, and how every layer pushes and pulls on the others.
