Top Stocks to Watch: Jim Cramer Highlights His Trade War Survivors
As markets continue to reel from the economic turbulence sparked by the escalating Trump-Xi trade dispute, CNBC’s Jim Cramer has stepped forward with a shortlist of stocks he believes could help investors navigate the chaos.
Citing rising fears of a downturn reminiscent of the 1987 market crash, Cramer urges caution—along with strategic positioning. Once an outspoken supporter of President Trump, Cramer has since changed his tone following the tariff measures that have strained ties with China.
In a recent interview, he admitted to feeling misled about the impact these policies would have on the market. Despite a brief market rebound, many analysts remain wary. The possibility of a recession hangs in the air, and Cramer suggests investors focus on companies that can endure economic pressure.
His top choices? Wells Fargo, Eaton, and Dell
According to Jim Cramer, Wells Fargo (WFC) is currently undervalued and poised for growth. Eaton (ETN), though hit hard by recent events, may offer long-term gains for patient investors. Dell (DELL), he adds, is on a comeback path, though its stock may show some volatility in the near term.
On the flip side, Cramer advises steering clear of several high-profile names, including Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), BlackRock (BLK), Dupont (DD), and Danaher (DHR). He’s particularly skeptical of Apple’s dependency on Chinese manufacturing and voiced concerns that moving production stateside could spell further trouble.
Nvidia, meanwhile, has fallen out of favor with him, as he dismisses it as part of the meme-stock frenzy. Jim Cramer admits his investment in BlackRock was a misstep, citing its performance slump amid crypto volatility. He also described Dupont’s prospects as bleak and criticized Danaher’s leadership under CEO Rainer Blair as lacking direction.
Although financial markets have shown signs of stabilization, uncertainty remains high. With geopolitical risks still influencing global trade and investor sentiment, careful stock selection and ongoing vigilance are more essential than ever. While Cramer’s picks offer a starting point, individual research and risk management should guide any investment decisions.
