Cramer: AI data center stocks face earnings test
CNBC's Jim Cramer warned that next week's earnings from leading neoclouds CoreWeave and Nebius could further test investor confidence in the AI data center trade. Stocks rebounded after a turbulent election week that saw selling in AI infrastructure names. Cramer remains skeptical, citing unresolved concerns about data center spending and financing. Key upcoming events include Constellation Energy earnings on Monday, CPI inflation data and CoreWeave earnings on Tuesday, Nebius, Cisco, and Applied Materials earnings on Thursday, and the PPI report on Friday. Cramer highlighted CoreWeave's need to explain its expansion financing and debt management, and expects Nebius to show strong orders and completed data centers. The Fed's next move on interest rates, potentially influenced by inflation reports, is also in focus.
This is a stock preview ahead of earnings from AI infrastructure companies, but it lacks hard data or announcements directly relevant to AdTech or MarTech. It only offers general market speculation.

Jim Cramer: AI Data Center Trade Returns
CNBC’s Jim Cramer said the AI data center trade is regaining market leadership after weeks of selling pressure. He cited the forced unwind by leveraged fund Situational Awareness as a catalyst for a recent rally and pointed to several company results and financing moves that restored his confidence: Intel increased a recent stock offering to $20 billion, Super Micro Computer and Lumentum reported better-than-expected results, and neocloud operators Nebius and CoreWeave posted strong quarters. Cramer highlighted CoreWeave’s evidence that older Nvidia GPUs retain value longer than expected and noted Nvidia’s agreements with major asset managers as part of a $500 billion financing push to treat compute as an asset. He also said a benign consumer price index report eased rate concerns that had weighed on growth stocks, collectively supporting renewed momentum in AI infrastructure names.
Cramer: Tech Earnings Week to Test AI-Fueled Rally
CNBC’s Jim Cramer said the market’s recent rally — led by data-center and AI-related stocks — has driven the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to record highs and warned that a packed week of tech earnings will determine whether the surge can continue. He outlined a day-by-day slate of corporate reports (Verizon, Nucor, Corning, Robinhood, Bloom Energy, Starbucks, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Eli Lilly, Apple, Sandisk, Western Digital, Chevron and Exxon) and highlighted areas investors should watch, including data-center demand, AI product metrics (e.g., Microsoft’s Copilot), memory shortages benefiting Sandisk/Western Digital, and macro considerations tied to the Federal Reserve.

Jim Cramer: AI stocks difficult to value amid data center uncertainty
CNBC's Jim Cramer said that uncertainty over the future data center build-out has made AI stocks increasingly difficult to value, leading to steep selling in the sector. He highlighted Nvidia, Micron, and AMD as examples of companies with strong results but facing risks if AI infrastructure spending slows due to regulatory hurdles. The iShares Semiconductor ETF fell 3% Wednesday and 10% Thursday, while GE Vernova and Sandisk dropped 7% and 22% respectively. Cramer noted Nvidia trades at roughly 12 times next year's earnings with 70% expected growth, but questioned sustainability if data center construction slows. He also questioned the sturdiness of Micron's take-or-pay contracts and AMD's valuation despite strong earnings and CEO Lisa Su's projection of a $1 trillion data center market. Ultimately, the key question is whether regulatory hurdles will significantly slow or merely delay data center construction.
