We're booking big profits in an AI stock and trimming a credit-exposed bank

Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust sold 40 shares of Broadcom at roughly $335 each, reducing its stake to 120 shares and cutting AVGO's portfolio weighting to 1% from 1.36%, and realized a 312% gain on shares bought in August 2023. It also sold 75 shares of Capital One Financial at roughly $201, leaving 600 shares and lowering COF's weighting to 3.1% from about 3.45%. The trades are framed as trimming AI exposure after a modest rebound and protecting against downside as AI stocks face rising cost of capital. Capital One was also downgraded to a hold-equivalent 2 rating ahead of earnings, reflecting disappointment with front-loaded investments tied to its Discover and Brex acquisitions. The trust has been adding Bank of New York, which the article says lacks Capital One's credit exposure and sensitivity to high oil prices and inflation.

  • Should Earnings Beat Require Action From Wells Fargo (WFC) Investors?

    Wells Fargo reported higher year-on-year net interest income and net income for Q3 2026, reaffirmed its full-year net interest income guidance of around US$50b, and named Cayetano Gea Carrasco head of AI and Data for Consumer Banking and Lending. The bank is combining balance sheet income with fee initiatives such as digital personalization, tokenized deposit payments and a planned U.S. dollar stablecoin, while managing higher commercial real estate and consumer loan charge-offs. The article says AI could sharpen underwriting and limit losses in newer credit card books, though slow delivery could limit the benefits. It adds that the earnings beat does not materially change the balance between catalysts and risks, mainly margin compression and credit costs. The narrative projects US$103.9b revenue and US$24.0b earnings by 2029, implying a US$2.0b rise from US$22.0b today.

  • Jim Cramer says this is the 'magic elixir' driving Tuesday's stock market

    Jim Cramer said Tuesday's market was driven by falling bond yields, which benefit rate-sensitive companies whatever the reason for the decline, even as oil rose and South Korean stocks sold off. The tech-heavy Nasdaq turned positive as AI stocks like CoreWeave recovered from early losses. Johnson & Johnson rose more than 2% and is now less than 2% below its level before the earnings sell-off that sent it down 5.7% on Oct. 13. Eli Lilly topped $1,300 a share for the first time, up over 4.5%, while Apple slipped less than 1% after Loop Capital downgraded it to hold over valuation and concerns that lower iPhone shipments were not yet reflected in 2027 projections, a view Cramer dismissed as near-term noise.

  • Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Tuesday

    Jim Cramer's morning list flags pressure on Nasdaq futures after Seoul-based neocloud Elice plunged 32% in its market debut, weighing on the AI trade, while WTI crude rose over 2% to nearly $101 a barrel and Brent climbed above $111, its highest since May. GE Aerospace beat estimates and raised its full-year outlook, with orders up 49%, yet its shares fell 3%. General Motors dropped more than 7% despite better-than-expected results and a $20 billion buyback, as inflationary pressures in logistics and memory chips persist. Loop Capital downgraded Apple to hold from buy and cut its price target to $330 from $370, citing worries that iPhone demand may not be there next year.

  • Apple's iPhone Duo is proving itself the catalyst that Jim Cramer said it would be

    Early demand for Apple's foldable iPhone Duo appears strong: the earliest delivery estimate for the 512GB Night Sky model is January 25, more than three months away, and the phone reaches stores this Friday. Morgan Stanley reported a record 14-week average preorder lead time, the longest of any iPhone model it has tracked in 10 years, pointing to both high demand and limited supply, while iPhone 18 Pro lead times are lower year over year. Melius Research estimates Apple could sell at least 15 million Duo units in fiscal 2027, generating about $40 billion in revenue, and maintains a buy rating with a $370 price target. Apple shares have risen more than 41% from a 52-week low of about $243 to around $342, and are up nearly 26% year to date.

  • We're buying more of a beaten-up stock before another overhang is lifted

    Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust bought 35 more Boeing shares at roughly $191.16, bringing its holding to 620 shares and lifting its portfolio weighting to 3% from 2.8%. The purchase used some proceeds from a TJX Companies trim earlier Monday. Reuters reported on Friday that the FAA could approve Boeing's 737 Max 10 as soon as this week; the article says certification would reduce uncertainty over delays, since about one-third of the 737 Max backlog reportedly covers this variant, with deliveries likely starting in 2027. The stock is still about 20% below its Aug. 5 close, which the article mainly attributes to rising oil prices and interest rates.

  • We're trimming a stock that has made a comeback, locking in big hard-fought profits

    Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is selling 150 TJX Companies shares at about $146 each, leaving it with 975 shares and cutting the position's weight to about 3.7% from 4.25%. The stock had fallen from $150 to around $123 in mid-September after earnings, and the trust added to its holding three times during that decline, at $140, $138 and $125. The sale locks in a gain of about 130% on shares bought in August 2022 and trims a position that had become outsized. Although the trust believes TJX has addressed the same-store sales slowdown at its Marmaxx division, the sale creates room in case the fix takes longer than expected.

  • Should You Invest $1,000 in PayPal (PYPL) Right Now?

    PayPal, once a popular growth stock, would now be worth only $187 from a $1,000 investment made at its July 23, 2021 record high. The company had 439 million active accounts in Q2 2026, just 0.3% growth year over year, as competition and a steady decline in take rates weigh on it, while revenue grew 8% in 2023, 7% in 2024 and 4% in 2025. PayPal is leaning on Braintree, Venmo and monetization of existing users, while cutting costs and buying back shares to lift EPS. The stock trades at about 11 times this year's EPS, versus 87 times the $3.52 EPS at its 2021 peak, and analysts expect 5% revenue and 4% EPS CAGRs for 2025–2028. The author sees limited downside but would only consider buying if the 1% forward dividend yield rose.

  • Amazon stockpiles Nvidia AI hardware ahead of power availability -Business Insider

    Amazon has agreed to buy billions of dollars of Nvidia GPUs before its data centers have enough power to run them, according to internal August emails obtained by Business Insider. Under a new Early Rack Receipt program, the company is taking delivery of about $5 billion in Nvidia GB300 server racks at U.S. facilities, with plans to accept another $3 billion each month. Because several AWS sites lack the utility capacity to energize servers, some hardware sits idle in warehouses as dark GPUs, tying up capital before it generates cloud revenue. The move comes as Amazon projects roughly $220 billion in capex this year and posted negative free cash flow last quarter for the first time since 2023. An Amazon spokesperson called the staging a best business practice for rapid installation once power arrives and disputed reports that the company lacked a clear path to bring the sites online.

  • Anthropic Is in Talks for Another $45 Billion AI Deal. Nvidia Could Be a Big Winner.

    Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is reportedly in talks with British neocloud provider Nscale to expand an existing compute deal by about $45 billion in contract value, which would bring its total Nscale commitment to roughly $90 billion. The proposed deal would add 460 megawatts of capacity using Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips in a second building at Nscale's Monarch campus in West Virginia, plus a right of first refusal on a planned third building. Nscale's customer base is highly concentrated, with Microsoft and Anthropic accounting for about 85% of its contract value, and Microsoft pulled out of a planned UK data center after power connection delays. Anthropic is preparing an IPO reportedly targeting a $1.5–2 trillion valuation, with 2025 revenue of about $4.6 billion, $7.33 billion spent on computing and infrastructure, and an operating loss of over $8 billion.

  • Boeing wins FAA approval for 737 Max 10 after years of delays

    The FAA certified Boeing's 737 Max 10 on Tuesday after years of delays, making it the last model in Boeing's best-selling jet family to receive government approval. The approval came weeks after federal officials reviewed a navigation system glitch and deemed it not a safety-of-flight issue. The Max 10, the largest model in the family, was originally slated to fly in 2020, but heightened scrutiny after two Max crashes in 2018 and 2019, along with other safety issues including engineering changes to an engine anti-icing system, delayed certification. Orders for this aircraft make up about 30% of Boeing's backlog, with customers including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. United's CEO said the lie-flat seats the airline expected for the plane are now sitting in a warehouse because the wait was so long.

  • Prediction: Micron Could Turn a $5,000 Investment Into This by 2030

    Micron's stock was up 334% over the past 12 months and 208% year to date through the close on Oct. 16, as AI demand drives interest in memory and storage makers. From fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026, its operating income rose from $9.77 billion to $99.34 billion, while gross margin climbed from 39.8% to 80.7%. The author projects fiscal 2027 revenue of $318 billion and assumes growth of 30% in fiscal 2028 and 25% in fiscal 2029, reaching about $517 billion in fiscal 2030. At 6.5 to 8 times sales, that implies a valuation of $3.36 trillion to $4.14 trillion versus $994 billion today, which would grow a $5,000 investment to $16,900–$20,800; at a more conservative 3 to 4 times sales, the range is $7,800–$10,400. The author concludes a $5,000 investment could reach at least $15,000 by 2030, while acknowledging that memory is cyclical and prices may cool once supply catches up.

  • Swiss Regulator Approves First Retail Fund That Holds Bitcoin Directly

    Switzerland's financial regulator FINMA announced on Tuesday, Oct. 20, that it approved the country's first retail exchange-traded fund investing directly in Bitcoin, classified as an alternative investment fund. FINMA waived the usual risk diversification rules, citing Bitcoin's long trading history and high trading volume compared with other cryptocurrencies. The regulator did not name the fund or its issuer and gave no launch date, though other providers have submitted or announced applications for Bitcoin ETFs. Under FINMA guidance, a Swiss custodian bank generally must hold the fund's Bitcoin, and sales must follow Swiss conduct rules, including warnings about volatility and the risk of losing money. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs were down about $615 million for October through Friday, while BlackRock's IBIT was the only fund with net inflows on Monday, taking in $665.2 million.
