Jim Cramer - Mad Money NVIDIA Corporation NVDA-Q PARTIAL SELL Apr 21, 2025

Markets are down today from Trump hectoring Jay Powell badly. If this leads to a constitutional crisis, you will need some cash. He always believed that the President can't fire the Fed Chair. This talk and tariffs have done enormous damage to stocks. Losses could worsen if Trump keeps trashing Powell without achieving a good tariff deal. Washington is incredibly biased against Nvidia and Apple, two excellent companies. Trump is more interested in cutting off China than advancing America's interests. This makes NVDA a hard stock to own, though not as bad as Apple. Apple makes the best consumer products on Earth, and they will eventually get AI right. But Apple makes a lot of products in China. The market could get worse, but at some point the pain will get so bad that Trump will back its most punitive measures. There has to be some sanity here. A strong Apple with business in China is in America's interest, while Nvidia is worth supporting. It doesn't have to be this way.

COMMENT

He loves the semis sector and this stock. It was upgraded today with an analyst raising the price target to $250, but he can't see NVDA shares double or triple.

PARTIAL SELL

Used to make 75% gross margins, but those have jumped to 90%. If it goes back to historic gross margins, even if sales continue, you'll see a huge degradation in profit. Sweet spot in terms of demand. Market thinks it can do no wrong. Worries that demand will abate or just normalize. Good news is baked in. Watch your position size.

BUY

The market cap topped $4 trillion today. It remains the king of the market, of tech, of AI. NVDA has created a revolution along the historic lines of the industrial revolution.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 17/25, Up 18.8%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with NVDA has achieved its target at $172.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $127) to $140.

HOLD

Probably a good place to write some calls against it, especially as average analyst price target is ~$175. Over next few days, analysts will probably up price targets due to H20 chips being allowed to China. It'll be king of the hill for at least 18 more months. Should definitely be in your top 5.

(Analysts’ price target is $175.00)
TRADE

He sold the Aug.15 180 strike for $3.50 (20% annualized). Sold 25% of his position to rebalance to slightly overweight.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes technical superiority on AI chips.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
NVDA vs. AVGO

Clear winner, because its chips make AI possible. There is some competition out there, but AVGO isn't one of them. Look for a good buying opportunity. 

He sees a parallel with INTC, which was a darling for many years. Not now. NVDA still has the market share; there are companies trying to catch up, but NVDA is still further ahead.
