📈 Jim Cramer: Jensen Huang’s Computex Keynote Unveils New Winners in the AI Boom
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang delivered a resounding success with his highly anticipated Computex keynote, powerfully arguing that computing power serves as the ultimate profit engine in the age of Artificial Intelligence, according to CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday.
Huang's strategic vision APPeared to strike a chord with Wall Street. Despite a challenging macroeconomic backdrop featuring a spike in oil prices and setbacks in U.S.-Iran peace talks, key stocks within the AI SECtor rallied strongly. Nvidia itself surged 6% on the day, helping pRoPEl the S&;P 500 to close at yet another record high.
Dispelling the "AI Bubble" NARRative
"It was incredibly heartening at a time when we're getting very suspicious of the data center as a concept, let alone a profit center," the "Mad Money" host remarked. Cramer admitted that prior to the keynote, he felt the "bubble contingent"—market observers questioning whether hundreds of billions in AI infrastructure spending will yield adequate returns—had gained the upper hand.
However, Huang effectively countered this growing narrative. In addition to announcing Nvidia's full-scale entry into the Personal computer market, he repeatedly emphASIzed during his speech that "compute is revenue," making a compelling case that the massive capital expenditure is justified.
Market ReACTion: A Tide-Turning Event
"The endless talk that compute is money, that compute will give you a big return... is truly the tide-turner," Cramer stated. He highlighted that Huang specifically spotlighted Data Center operators and major Nvidia chip buyers—Oracle, Nebius, and CoreWeave—during his presentation.
The market responded enthusiastically to these mentions:
Oracle: Shares jumped 9.9%. The tech giant has faced scrutiny over the past year regarding whether its massive AI Infrastructure spending was a prudent bet.
Nebius: Stock soared by 14.5%.
CoreWeave: Shares CLImbed 14%. The company has recently had to defend its aggressive spending and debt load.
Investment Strategy: Own the Whole Ecosystem
Furthermore, Cramer noted that the presentation reInforced his conviction that investors should hold Nvidia alongside hyperscalers like Amazon and Alphabet, even as these tech giants develop custom chips to compete with Nvidia's offerings.
"That's a debate I have thrust myself into, saying that you need to be in all three companies because the opportUnity is so great," Cramer explained.
Ultimately, Cramer concluded that Huang successfully dismantled the skepticism surrounding excessive AI infrastructure spending. "This time, Nvidia truly delivered, just when you least expected it," he said.
