Overview:

In this episode, Jim Cramer confronts popular but—in his view—misguided market judgments from the latest earnings season. He spotlights several stocks that he feels the market has unjustifiably punished and presents them as prime buying opportunities for long-term investors. Cramer passionately advocates for owning high-quality, misunderstood companies instead of chasing overhyped tech and semiconductor stocks suffering from margin-driven volatility. The episode includes in-depth segments on GE Aerospace, Wells Fargo, Johnson & Johnson, Levi Strauss, UnitedHealth, JB Hunt, and others, along with the famous Lightning Round and listener questions.

2. Case Studies: “The Market Got It Wrong”

A. GE Aerospace

Timestamp: 01:35 – 04:06, Expanded: 15:37 – 22:38

• Still the best secular aerospace growth play; market concerns (order deceleration, margin compression) are short-sighted.
• "You never sell the stock of GE by the way, before Farnborough… Buy it before that." (Jim Cramer, 02:17)
• Raised forecasts “gigantically,” strongest cash flow in years.
• Detailed deep-dive: Orders up 17%, revenue up 24%, EPS +22%, free cash flow up 43%.
• $210B backlog = four years of booked work.
• "GE Aerospace is just a fantastic company at a great moment… After today’s 4% decline, GE Aerospace is now down roughly 10% from its peak two weeks ago… I think that makes for a tremendous buying opportunity." (Jim Cramer, 21:56)

B. Wells Fargo

Timestamp: 04:07 – 06:15

• Analysts myopically focused on net interest margin, missing CEO Charlie Scharf’s successful pivot toward investment banking.
• "Charlie Scharf is known as one brilliant banker. He saved Wells Fargo as far as I'm concerned, and yet it got killed when it reported." (Jim Cramer, 05:30)
• DB: “It sells at 12x earnings… Wells Fargo was a steal.”

C. Johnson & Johnson

Timestamp: 06:15 – 07:39

• Oncology & neurology pipeline robust; new dermatology drug could be a “biggest in J&J history.”
• Spinning off slower-growth businesses—improves core multiple.
• "You usually do not get a chance to buy Johnson and Johnson $20 below its high. I would take it." (Jim Cramer, 07:25)

D. Levi Strauss

Timestamp: 07:39 – 08:45

• Standout women’s and direct-to-consumer growth ignored.
• "It’s crazy to me that Levi Strauss the success got dinged." (Jim Cramer, 08:22)

E. UnitedHealth

Timestamp: 08:45 – 09:25

• Opened up big, faded all day—market didn’t appreciate margin improvement, leadership return (Steve Hemsley).
• “Fantastic quarter… It is back to being the leader of the managed care group.” (Jim Cramer, 09:16)

---

3. Lesson for Investors: Avoid Fads, Buy Great Companies

Timestamp: 09:25 – 10:27

• Warns against borrowing big to chase hot tech/semis suffering margin-induced liquidations.
  • "They want to play with the big boys, the hedge funds… I think it’s a much better game to find mismarked stocks that analysts don’t really care for. That I am telling you right now, I know better than they do." (Jim Cramer, 09:54)
• Key takeaway: Buy and hold the five “misunderstood gems.”
  • "Buy J&J or Wells Fargo for the long term then try to figure out exactly when the margin traders get blown out… These you just buy and put away and be thankful the market got them wrong and gave you five tremendous buying opportunities." (Jim Cramer, 10:18)

---

4. Listener Q&A – Stock-Specific Guidance

Timestamp: 10:27 – 13:40

• Accenture (ACN): Stay away—AI is commoditizing a lot of what they do. “The times, they are changing.” (Jim Cramer, 10:44)
• Alibaba (BABA): "Have patience… still the best way to play China." (Jim Cramer, 12:23)
• General portfolio advice: "If J&J or Wells Fargo. The world is not made up of Seagate and Western Digital now…" (Jim Cramer, 12:42)

---

5. JB Hunt and the Trucking/Freight Upturn

Timestamp: 23:46 – 30:28

• "For years we were stuck in a seemingly endless freight recession… But over the past year or so, the group’s caught fire again because suddenly business is booming." (Jim Cramer, 23:46)
• JB Hunt's latest quarter:
  • Revenue up 19%, EPS up 45%, record intermodal volume (“double digits for the first time in over a decade”).
  • CEO Shelly Simpson: “We didn’t spend the last four years waiting for the cycle to turn, we spent the last four years preparing for it.” (quoted at 26:10 approx.)
  • Barriers (insurance, capital, drivers) mean “this freight upcycle [could be] much more durable.”
  • Caution: Stock at 38x earnings may be expensive to chase here.
  • "JB Hunt spent the downturn cutting costs, improving service, reducing debt… These are the guys who should benefit first and benefit the most."
  • "Let’s take a call from Kevin in California…" segues to listener Q&A.

---

6. Additional Listener Q&A & Portfolio Tips

Timestamp: 30:28 – 37:21

• Union Pacific: Still a buy despite being at highs; dominant in its oligopoly.
• RTX (Raytheon): Hold; strong defense/commercial mix.
• Oracle (Roth IRA): Sell; too risky for IRA.
• Diageo: Avoid liquor sector; too much weakness.
• Portfolio right-sizing: Rank holdings 1 (core) to 3 (sell); "No one has all ones."
• Speculative positions: Travel trust won’t add specs, but Cramer likes speculation in the right context.
• Sector favorites for rest of 2026: Banks, pharma, travel, aerospace. Tech later, when volatility clears.

---

7. Lightning Round Highlights

Timestamp: 37:21 – 42:11

• Microchip Technology: Wait for margin-induced tech selloff to finish, not time yet.
• Vertiv: Also wait—speculative names still under margin pressure.
• AAOI (speculative stock): Not right now; bad timing due to “speculative wave.”
• Data center components (Wesco/Quanta): Prefer Quanta for data center buildout exposure.
• Coke: Strong defensive play, especially in volatile market; Cramer approves.
• Clorox: Noted positive coverage, "want to buy it."
• Nebulous: Too much margin/hedge fund pressure—wait.
• XL Service Holdings: Needs more homework before Cramer opines.

---

8. The Dangers of Margin Leverage & Parabolic Moves

Timestamp: 42:27 – End

• Over-ownership and margin buying have disconnected hot tech/component stock prices (Micron, Seagate, Corning) from fundamentals.
• "If you buy a stock thinking it can fly all the way to the sun, you’re going to get burned. No matter how good the fundamentals are. Especially if you use margin – something I abhor." (Jim Cramer, 42:35)
• Warning: Margin calls create quick, brutal downward cycles regardless of company quality.
• "At this very moment, it doesn’t matter one bit how these companies are doing… What matters is how the margin clerks are doing." (Jim Cramer, 43:13)
• Wait for forced selling to subside before grabbing bargains.
• "The unwind is good news… But if you persist [with margin], you might be naked by Monday and then you won’t have enough money left that it’s worth it to watch our show." (Jim Cramer, 46:27)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Disagreeing with the crowd:

• GE Aerospace optimism:
  • "You never sell the stock of GE by the way, before Farnborough…" (Jim Cramer, 02:17)
  • "After today’s 4% decline, GE Aerospace is now down roughly 10% from its peak two weeks ago… I think that makes for a tremendous buying opportunity." (Jim Cramer, 21:56)
• On margin-induced panic:
  • "At this very moment, it doesn’t matter one bit how these companies are actually doing. What matters is how the margin clerks are doing." (Jim Cramer, 43:13)

  • "We are stock pickers. We are stock owners. We are not renters." (Jim Cramer, 34:33)
• On speculation:
  • "I’m not against speculation… But I want to time it when it’s right. Right now the speculative players are being margined out. We don’t want to be part of their panic." (Jim Cramer, 38:37)

  • "There’s always a bull market somewhere and I promise I’d find it just for you right here on Mad Money." (Jim Cramer, 46:57)

Flow & Tone

Jim Cramer’s tone is high-energy, direct, and didactic—motivating listeners to resist panic, think independently, and capitalize on the market’s frequent misjudgments. He mixes humor ("Other people make friends. I’m just trying to make a little bit of money"), practical education, cautionary tales, and encouragement for true, long-term investing. Listener interaction is lively and supportive, with Cramer candidly admitting when he needs to do more research or when a caller’s spouse should join the investing journey.

Summary Takeaways

• The latest market swoon has created rare buying opportunities in high-quality, misunderstood stocks (GE Aerospace, Wells Fargo, Johnson & Johnson, Levi’s, UnitedHealth).
• Avoid jumping into overhyped tech/semiconductor names until forced selling passes—margin can destroy even the best companies’ shares, short-term.
• Be a stock-owner, not a trend-chaser—rank and right-size your portfolio, keep speculative bets limited, and use downturns to upgrade your positions.
• There’s always a bull market somewhere—think beyond the consensus, and don’t let the crowd or the margin calls dictate your strategy.

My mission is simple to make you money. I'm here to level the playing field for all investors. There's always a bull market somewhere, and I promise to help you find it. Mad Money starts now. Hey, I'm Kramer. Welcome to Mad Money. Welcome to Kramerica. Other people make friends. I'm just trying to make a little bit of money. Now my job is is not just to entertain, but to do some educating about a crazy market. So call me at 1-800-743-CNBC or tweet me Jim Cramer. It takes a lot of humor. It's a lot of guts to disagree with the market's judgment about a stock. After reports, you're basically saying that the collective wisdom of millions of people and billions of dollars is just plain wrong. Yet at times, I think the sentences pronounced against stocks are so wrong that you got to call them out right here. You have to appeal, so to speak. Otherwise you're going to miss some incredible buying opportunities. My job is to show you that so today, when The Dow fell 106 points, SB declined.5.1% and the Nasdaq lost 1.47%. I want to go over some of the dumbest judgments that have ever been rendered so far this earnings season, at least in my opinion. And none of them, thank heavens, are part of the hellacious tech unwind that everyone else is possessed by. The first is GE Aerospace, run by the tremendous Larry Culp with a stock that fell roughly 4% today. The market's dead wrong here. First, the airspace boom, which started Post Covid is still in full swing. There's been no serious diminution of travel. The market's always looking for a pure play on a long term secular trend like aerospace. Boeing's too too risky even as I like it for a long term comeback and a position in it for the travel trust. People are too afraid to buy Honeywell Aerospace, which is just spun off from Honeywell Technologies. We own that one too because it's considered a fixer upper. Boeing and Honeywell Aerospace are works in progress in one of the great secular growth stories in aerospace. But GE Aerospace remains the best institutional choice right now. You never sell the stock of GE by the way, before Farnborough. That's the big British international air show that takes place next week. There's a good chance G will win its fair share of business over there. You got to buy it before that. Plus this company's raised its full year numbers gigantically based on strong orders and improved execution. Its cash flow was the strongest in years. Plans are lasting longer and GE makes a huge amount of money servicing the plays which by the way is the highest margin business. They're going to return a ton of capital shareholders and yet the stock got slammed. I think aerospace is so important that I'm actually going to go over in detail. If you stick around. Next, another one you may bank there. Wells Fargo. Look, we had five major banks reporting on Tuesday.

[Indeed Announcer]

Mo.

[Jim Cramer]

My head was on a swivel for heaven's sake. I mean, geez. I tried to pay attention to each one. Sure, J.P. morgan was terrific and everyone knows Goldman Sachs. Wells Fargo however was savaged with a powerful analyst who actually cut his price target. Most of the community. The community don't you love that dismissed this company and its quarter. But I would contend that Wells Fargo quarter wasn't just good. I thought it was terrific. The analysts who fixated the sink of that interest income and also they care about net interest margin. They want banks to make more money on the difference between what they pay you for your deposits and what they charge you for loans. That is all they seem to care about and some kind. Sometimes it's just so myopic. When I was listening to the Wells Fargo conference call, I had to hear analysts one after another condescendingly as CEO Charlie Sharp, who knows a heck of a lot more about banking than they do, why he isn't making more often deposits in his loans. Oh, but Charlie, how about the name? Oh, Charlie, how about the nii? Meanwhile, Charlie was talking about turning Wells Fargo from a bloated underachieving lender into a merchant bank of the first order that's helping companies come public and do mergers and acquisitions where the money is. By the way, it's very difficult thing for a bank to change the stripes, transforming itself from a loser in these incredibly lucrative businesses to a winning investment bank. But when you look at how Goldman Sachs is killing it, you know, that's what Charlie wants to emulate and I think that's a great plan. He's rapidly moving up the tables. Listen, Charlie Sharp is known as one brilliant banker. He saved Wells Fargo as I'm concerned, and yet it got killed when it reported because of these naysaying analysts who don't understand that Wells is transforming itself into something much better. It sells at 12 times earnings, for heaven's sake. I told CBC investing club members that today Wells Fargo was a steal. Next, the best pharmaceutical company saved Eli Lilly is Johnson and Johnson. It's got a top tier oncology franchise. There are so many potential blockbusters here in the pipeline that could withstand any loss of exclusivity. Its neurology franchise out of nowhere has become the most important in the whole industry was bravado for depression capillaries for major depressive disorder. Lots of people thought those would never be major drugs. They were wrong. I go tide, a recently approved drug for moderate severe plaque psoriasis may actually become the biggest drug in J and J history. Its ophthalmology franchise, after years of suboptimal growth is starting to get hot. JJ's got a triple A balance sheet. Even better, the US government. It's spinning out its prosaic orthopedics business which will raise the price turning multiple of the remaining company. However, JJ had a heart business that made about $150 million less than expected. Something I suspect will be corrected later this year. Now let's put this in perspective. 150 million less than expected. On what kind of basis? On $100 billion basis. I say that's the trade focus on the forest of green, not the 150 mistake. For all that though, what happened? The stock got crushed at one point falling eight bucks in yesterday's hideous performance. It did rebound a little bit today. Analysts half heartedly supported it. You usually do not get a chance to buy Johnson and Johnson $20 below its high. I would take it. What else? Levi Strauss is starting to get his due now. But it didn't. When it reported last week. I was pleasantly surprised when CEO Michelle Goss came on Mad Money and talked about the incredible strength of the Women's division. This is a man's business. The direct to consumer business is growing like bad yoga. The disaster. The bane of all power for everybody else. Not Levi's. Nice upside surprise. Tremendous cost discipline, terrific ad campaign. Every line item worked out. A single missed KPI and what happens? Levi's gets crushed, falling over 2% last Thursday after support. We have so many disappointing apparel companies. It's crazy to me that Levi Strauss the success got dinged. Even it was only temporary. Stocks now above where it was when the company reported. But it's way too cheap. Finally, there's one that you're going to hear all about tomorrow but nobody Talked about today. UnitedHealth. Okay, sure, it opened up huge, up almost $40, but it spent the whole rest of the day giving that back and it closed up a measly five smackers. UnitedHealth had excellent margin improvement, much better pricing, great numbers from its formerly lagging optimization. It is back to being the leader of the managed care group in part because the great, the wonderful Steve Hemsley has returned as CEO. I know the stock's up more than 28% this year, but it was in a real canyon for a long time and it is well below where it traded a couple of years ago. I can't believe this Dow stock gave up the ghost today. It was a fantastic quarter. Look, I know we're all obsessed with tack. We'd rather hear about which fund blew up from the declines in Sandisk and Nebus and Seagate Micron than those attractive buying opportunities to go up gradually over time that I just mentioned. There are people want to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy disk drive companies and CPU makers that will get blown up. They don't want to own jeans or a plane or health insurance or national bank or drug company stocks that you can buy and own for the long haul. They want to borrow money from brokers and buy the hottest stocks and they will be eviscerated. They want to play with the big boys, the hedge funds. Some of them are getting blown up right right in front of us and others are shooting against those same funds. Those funds got filleted. I think it's a much better game to find mismark stocks that analysts don't really care for. That I am telling you right now, I know better than they do. They're good. Look, as I said at our monthly CNBC Investing Club meeting, we like a lot of these tech component stocks too, but they're in the grips of terrible shareholders are now being taken out and shot by the margin assassins. The bottom line, it's much better to take advantage of a mismatch. J and J or Wells Fargo for the long term. Then they try to figure out exactly when the margin traders are going to get blown out enough that you could buy a disk drive company. After all, you never know when the poor souls were being margined out of that commodity. Chipmaker will finish. That's not something you even need to ask yourself when it comes to these superb companies that I just mentioned. These you just buy and put away and be thankful that the market got them all wrong and gave you five tremendous buying opportunities. David in Texas. David?

[Caller]

Yes, Jim. My question is about ACN Accenture, down 50% this year, got a 4.7 dividend yield and a $7.5 billion fiscal 26 buyback. Nice bounce here in the last week or so. Where do you think it goes from here?

[Jim Cramer]

Okay, look, it could bounce a little, maybe back to where it has a 4% yield. But you see, all of the work that I do and I don't, I spend a lot of time on Claude. Not that much, but all the work that we do on these particular kinds of programs that we're talking about in artificial intelligence, they duplicate a lot of what Accenture does, but for a much lower price. So I'm going to have to say stay away, even though I know it's a good company, with the times, they are changing. Let's go to Srini in Texas. Srini.

[Caller]

Hello, Jim. It's a great honor talking to you.

[Jim Cramer]

Thank you. Thank you. How can I help you?

[Caller]

Yeah, I listen to Bad Money and the morning investing club. 10 minutes every day, as much. As much as possible. I like the show. And then sometimes my wife gets frustrated when I'm listening to Mad Money every day, and she's like, this is evening time, coffee time with me, not with Jim Cramer.

[Jim Cramer]

No, no, she's quite wrong, actually. I think that you've actually figured out the right time. And I got to tell you and I are pretty much in the same boat. And I think that we both have a lot invested here. So let's go to work.

[Caller]

I tell her if I don't watch it, Jim Cramer shows, I cannot maintain my portfolio. I have to give it to some management company then. Now, she's okay these days.

[Jim Cramer]

Okay, so she gets that. Well, look, you and I together, going to. We're going to kick butt. That's what we need to do. And tell your wife, by the way, that, you know what, she's sensational, but she's saving some money doing it this way.

[Caller]

Thank you. Sure. The ticket symbol for now is Baba. I've been holding it for quite some time. Have a big position. Should I have patience and continue to hold.

[Jim Cramer]

I think you need to have patience here. I think it's just down on a dip. It's really still the best way to play China. I know the GDP growth of China was disappointing and 4.4%. And by the way, I am a harder line on the Chinese than most people you see on air. But you know what, I want to try to help people make money. And I think you can make money. Alibaba. And tell your wife, you know what, she ought to watch it too. Maybe she learns. No, everyone could benefit. How about that? Listen to me, if you want some long term winners, look at something like if J and J or Wells Fargo. The world is not made up of Seagate and Western Digital now, at least in until investors stop flipping in and out of chip makers. That may be the best way to go on my money tonight. Like I said earlier, I can't understand the reaction Euro space this quarter. I'm digging deeper into the numbers of what I think is one of the greatest companies ever. Then what did JP Hunt's latest earnings tell us about the transports? I'm running through the port and taking a closer look at the sector. It's a key economic indicator and a transport can make you a heck of a lot more money than you realize. And we held our investing club monthly meeting today and ran out of time to get to all all the question wanted to answer. So tonight we're going to take a few more. You'll get a sense of what we're all about. And stay with Kramer.

What that just happened to the stock of GE Aerospace? I mean, here's a stock that's been roaring ever since it was split fun off in its old power business. GE Vernova in the spring of 2024, up over 150% in a little more than two years. One of my faves. But a couple of weeks ago the market's hottest stocks started cooling off. That includes GE Aerospace as so much money went to the data center stocks. Then today the company reported a quarter that was poorly received. Even though I thought the results look pretty darn good to me. This is a fabulous buy opportunity. I'm going to tell you why we look at the numbers. They're excellent. All right. G Aerospace saw total orders up 17% year over year, revenue of 24% coming in much better than expected. And while their operating margin declined a bit, they still posted a 16 cent earnings beat off a $86 basis. That's 22% earnings growth. Oh, and by the way, as I told Larry Culp the CEO, I cannot believe that free cash flow. It shot up 43% free cash flow for a company like this just now the company seeing real strength in commercial engines and services business. That's the main where orders grew 18% and revenue was up 27%. Not much of that came from the service side, but that's good because the service business is sticky with big margins. Plus equipment revenue was up 30% better than Sharp. Stick to the IG. Aerospace makes money selling you jet engines. Then they make more money servicing those engines for years and years in the future. As for the other side of GE Aerospace business, Defensive Propulsion Technology. Hey, that was really solid too war is up 12%, revenue up 16%. I remember when that business wasn't so great. This part of the business is more dependent, of course, on government spending, the free market. But I saw nothing worrisome about the defense side at all. And that's not always been the case. Best of all, GE Aerospace also raised its full year forecast across the board. It now expects revenue growth in the high teens, up from double digits in the previous forecast. And they raised their earnings guidance by $0.50 at the midpoint, taking it to $7.65 to $7.85 range. At the midpoint, they're talking about 22% earnings growth. Very good forecast. And when GE Aerospace last reported back in April, the company similarly smashed expectations. But it had also declined to raise its full year outlook because the environment felt too uncertain with that price of oil surging in response to the war with Iran. Now, though, they gave us a straight beaten race, even though we know things are a little. Well, well, you exactly know what Iran, what's happening Iran. Or maybe. But clearly investors were looking for more because the stock just got poleaxed. Sell, sell, sell. Is down 4% today. The reason, well, the one I saw cited the most came down to worries about a slowdown in order growth. For context, last year G aerospace put up 32% order growth. And the first quarter of this year orders were up a whopping 87%. So yes, when orders merely grew at a 17% clip in the second quarter, that's a deceleration. Technically, the sales and earnings growth are decelerating too. As I said though, at the top of the show, this is a silly thing. It's not right. You've got the wrong way to approach it. GE Aerospace is just a fantastic company and a great moment. Let's start with the idea that the orders are slowing. Okay. With the quarter, G Aerospace also disclosed that its backlog had grown to more than $210 billion. To put that in perspective, the company is supposed to do roughly 50 billion in revenue this year. So that backlog represents about four years worth of business. Orders in Aerospace are famously lumpy. So I'm not worried, at least not too worried about quarter to quarter fluctuations here. What matters is they have many years worth of orders already in the bag. As for the company's gradually slowing sales and earnings growth, that's just the law of large numbers. It doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the business. Plus, Aerospace is famously conservative with its guidance, which is why they didn't raise their full year forecast last quarter. So don't be surprised if revenue growth this year ends up coming in above the new high teens target. When I was going over Colp, I just said wow, I don't know how much things going to be up but you know what, people take everything as negative these days. It's wrong to looking beyond those specific worries that punish the stock today, I am still bullish on the story because well I actually read the conference call today. Unlike most of the sellers, I say that because if they had read the call, they would have heard about a business that's firing on all cylinders. Management cited strong demand for all parts of his business. The worst part of his demand, if you want to call it that, was aftermarket demand. Remember described it as, quote, resilient despite a dynamic environment. Basically the airlines weren't flying as much in the first half of the year. We know that, right? So they don't need as many replacement parts and services. But management said they quote, expect a return to modest departures growth in the second half and quote, that sounds good enough to me. Meanwhile, demand for new engines remains excellent, particularly for the company's latest generation leap engines. These are the primary engines for some of the world's most popular narrow body jets like the Boeing 737 Max, the Airbus A320neo because they offer improved fuel efficiency, which we know we need because jet fuel is really high right now, longer service lives and a lower total cost of ownership. Finally, madam said, quote, within defense, we continue to support robust demand for our services and products both domestically and with allied partners. End quote. The last part of the positive story. For years, one of GE Aerospace biggest problems was that it simply couldn't make new products or get through its backlog of services for fast enough, largely thanks to bottlenecks within the company's own supply chain. If you remember, you watched our show up at Harvard Business School, Larry Culp described that was the old GE Aerospace. About two years ago though, after the old GE breakup was finalized, the newly independent GE Aerospace began enacting a new operating model that's dubbed, quote, Flight Deck all caps, which was all about continuous improvement and streamlining operations. This new model has gradually improved the company's manufacturing cadence. And on today's call, management touted much more significant improvements from the program. For example, management noted the total engine deliveries grew 31% in the first half of the year and commercial services revenue was up 32%. In some specific cases, the flight deck benefits are even more impressive. CEO Colt noted one facility in Lynn Massachusetts where GE Aerospace makes its F110 engine. That's primary engine many US and allied fighter jets. Demand is increasing for the F110 and the company used flight deck to reduce its overall production lead time to for a critical component by 60%. The result? Deliveries of the F110 were up over 50% year over year. I don't know many businesses that can pull this off. So here's the bottom line. After today's 4% decline, G Aerospace is now down roughly 10% from its peak two weeks ago. And I think that makes for tremendous buying opportunity. Is very rarely down that much from its high. Company reported terrific beat in race quarter yet you're not just getting that quarter for free, you're now getting it for a sizable discount. Do you already own it? Well, you got to hold it. And if you don't own it and you want a non tech company with real growth, this is your chance to start a position. Mad Money is back after the break.

[Jim Cramer]

For years we were stuck in a seemingly endless freight recession and the trucking stocks were dead money. No one ever talked about them. But over the past year or so, the groups caught fire again because suddenly business is booming. Take J.B. hunt, one of the top trucking players, with a Stock that's not nearly 4. 54% year to date. 97% over the past 12 months, including a monster 8% gain today in response to a terrific quarter. And to think it doesn't even sell a disk drive. When JP Hunt reported last night, the numbers were phenomenal. They reported big revenue beat 19% growth. Earnings came in about a dollar 91 per share. Wall street was only looking for a buck 74. That's 45% growth year over year for a trucker. Operating expenses consumed a smaller percentage of revenue. The operating ratio key number improving to 92.6% from 93.3% a year ago. Hence the surge in profitability. The two major subsections of the business, Intermodal and dedicated contract services, both beat revenue expectations handily. Specifically, JB Hunt moved more than 578,000 intermodal loads this quarter trucks on trains when analysts were expecting 537,000 loads, setting a quarterly record. Volume is up double digits for the first time in over a decade. And this is something that improved over the course of the quarter as June was much stronger than April and May. That's called the cadence. And the cadence was fabulous. When I covered JP Hunt two quarters ago, I told you they reported terrific numbers, but it seemed more about good management than a broader recovery in the freight market. This time though, CEO Shelly Simpson made it very clear that freight's booming. On the conference call, she explained that the supply of trucks has shrunk, something you'd expect after a four year freight recession, while the demand for those trucks has been gradually improving. Six months ago she said the quote, freight market feels fragile, end quote. She's not hitting us with those caveats anymore. Hardly. Granted, JB Hyena isn't saying that freight demand has exploded, yet it's improved modestly. The real positive is that there just aren't enough trucks on the road these days, given companies like this one a lot more pricing power. Here's how Simpson put it in the conference call, very eloquent quote, we didn't spend the last four years waiting for the cycle to turn. We spent the last four years preparing for it, end quote. I like that's great lie JP Use that. JB Hunt spent the freight recession cutting costs, improving services, investing in technology and taking market share. Now that demand is coming back and these investments are finally starting to pay off, it's like a coiled spring in a normal freight cycle. Rates rise, carriers make more money, and then new trucks and drivers quickly flood the market. That new supply eventually kills the cycle. This time though, the barriers to putting capacity back into the system may be higher. Insurance is much more expensive, equipment is more expensive, driver recruitment is harder. Because who wants to learn how to drive a truck when everyone's saying the autonomous driving is the future? Regulators are more focused on fraud, safety, and who's behind the wheel that could make this freight upcycle much more durable, much more lasting than the last one. At the Wells Fargo conference last month, JB Hunt said customers routing guides are beginning to fall apart now this was quizzical to me. See, historically, a shipper might reopen bidding on a couple of lanes or a few hundred loads. Now management seeing what used to be called mini bids, turn into rebates of entire networks, sometimes involving tens of thousands of loads. That means truckers are rejecting more freight, customers are scrambling for capacity. And this industry suddenly has something it hasn't had in ages. Pricing power. I can't recall a better time to be in this business in this environment. Jamie Hunt's in a terrific position by the way. Now be clear, I also like FedEx Freight. Now that is a new company recently spun off from FedEx. CBC investing club members heard about that story in today's conference call and it's a terrific one. Of course, Jamie Hunt's quarter wasn't perfect. Their truckload business posted weaker than expected operating income. The independent contractor market remains difficult, forcing JB Hunt to rely more heavily on third party capacity at current spot rates. Management said pricing implemented just a few months ago is already insufficient for today's cost of environment. To say basically the trucking market's in great shape. But that also means this company needs to pay more. When they outsourced independent truckers, meanwhile, their Final mile business saw an actual decline and sales down 6% operating income. Telling 30% final mile is the part of the trucking food chain where they deliver stuff to your door. But a lot of the weakness here is simply because JP Hunt deliberately walked away from lower quality business. And besides the this small piece of the pie. All told though, this was a terrific quarter. Which is why the stock justifiably soared. But after this move, okay, JPM starting to look a little expensive here. Trading at 38 times earnings. I thought it was expensive at 27 times earlier this year. And while I bet the numbers will continue to improve, 38 times earnings makes it a little harder to justify the numbers go up. It won't be though. Simpson told a terrific story in the conference call. But a lot of what she said will happen already. I don't know. Let's say it's been it's in stock. But this was still the quarter the bulls were waiting for the beginning of the cycle. It's good news for more than just JB Hunt. It gives us real reasons to feel much better about the entire freight market. The turn may be driven more by a shrinking supply than exploding demand. A turn is a turn. JB Hunt is a market leader as scale technology, multiple transportation modes, excess intermodal capacity and an investment grade balance sheet. It can gain Share while smaller competitors simply try to survive. Those guys have been waiting for the moment to come roaring back and the little guys won't be in. Here's the bottom line. Six months ago, J.B. hunt told us the freight market was fragile and that it was not holding its breath for recovery. Now though, so much trucking capacity has left the system just as demand is finally starting to bounce back. That's how J.B. hunt was able to report a much better than expected quarter. It is why I'm feeling more bullish on the entire group. That said, I don't know. Don't want to necessarily chase the stock at these levels. You're already paying for continued recovery. But this story is fantastic. J.B. hunt spent the downturn cutting costs, improving service, improving us, reducing debt, finding capacity and taking share. If the freight cycle is genuinely turning, and I think it is, these are the guys who should benefit first and benefit the most. With the possible exception of the troublesome holding of FedEx Freight because there is so much improvement ahead for them and with self help. In other words, what am I doing here? I'm trying to tell you about other companies that. Other than disk drives, other than companies that make things for the data center. There's a whole world out there that you need to know unlevered stocks with. With people who own the stocks and hold them long term and aren't just trying to make a quick buck. And that's what JB Hunt is. Let's take a call from Kevin in California, please. Kevin, hey.

[Caller]

Booyah, Jim. I'm proud to be a Creamerican.

[Jim Cramer]

Fantastic. And I'm glad you are. How can I help?

[Caller]

Hey, I think I missed the train at the depot. But since it's at an all time high, do you recommend buying Union Pacific Railroad stocks?

[Jim Cramer]

I did. I did some work on Union Pacific today and I have to tell you, it's got great management. The idea that it's at all time high doesn't worry me. This is not a company that makes semiconductors. It's a company that's dominant in a. In an oligopoly. You want to own the stock? Let's go to Sam in Texas. Sam.

[Caller]

Booyah Jim. My brother Jason and I are longtime listeners, biggest fans of your book how to Make Money in Every Market.

[Jim Cramer]

Thank you very much. Thank you.

[Caller]

My question is about a stock that makes up about 8% of my portfolio. My cost basis is 88 bucks and it reports on the 23rd. Should I buy, hold or trim into something else? My stock is rtx right this Chris

[Jim Cramer]

Calio who runs the CEO, he's on her own. It's terrific. You know you've got defense but you have commercial. I like the mix. I think the company's doing terrifically. Greg Hayes left it in great shape. You want a more war? Look RTX down here. No, it was, it was in the 170s recently. I would wait till it gets back to the 1-70s but that's a very strong story. The price cycle really is turning around. I think J.B. hunt could be the one. Let's say one along with FedEx Freight. It's really going to benefit. I like them both. Much more money. We had our investing club meeting today as I have referenced but I'm not done doling out my market wisdom. See, I have two more questions that we didn't get to from the club. Jeff Marks and I like to get to everybody. I always say, by the way, the panic isn't a strategy so why are the chip investors not listening? I'm taking another look at the Bleaker cohort and telling you what I think is really going on. You don't want to miss that. In order calls rapid fire. Tonight's just a lightning round, so stay with Crate. Earlier today we had our investing club monthly meeting where Jeff Parks and I get together and walk club members through our decision making process for the portfolio. Oh, I tell some stories, we discuss our current holdings, then we take questions from club members. But since we never have time to get to all those, I'm giving you an inside look right now what happens at the monthly meetings while also doling out, I hope some much needed advice about the market. I think if you join the club you will get insights on how to manage your portfolio. You'll get some laughs to the stories tend to be some of the best I can up. Hey, by the way, if you want to be part of the monthly meeting, which I sure do want you to be, join the club. Just scan this QR code behind me or go to cnbc.com/investing club. I saved my. I save some pretty good stuff for the club, let's put it that way. Now to start us off we've got Daniel. Who asks. I bought Oracle for my Roth IRA two years ago at $140. Should I leave it alone or sell it and buy something else? I don't care where you bough a stock, okay where it's going to and I think that stock is going down. It doesn't fit in from what I would consider to be an ira. I think it's too risky. I think you should sell it. Then we have Dennis who says with the November midterm elections close, is it better to put new money to work now as opportunities arise or wait for potential post election pullback in the market? We buy individual companies that have stocks. If we think that the company's stock is low, we buy it. We get another opportunity to buy it even lower from an election. We buy more. That's what we do. We are stock pickers. We are stock owners. We are not renters. Next up we have John who asked the sectors taking a significant hit but I think Diageo has historically been the best in class. Is there a point at which you would buy this beaten down stock as a long term gain? I know this liquor business cold for some other things that are involved with my life and I've got to tell you, I would not touch any liquor company right now. There are a lot of ones. The ginseng, the vodkas, the Browns, they're all doing terribly. You don't need to try to call a bottom. Next up we have Wade from Texas who says Jim gets a lot of questions about speculative stocks and made money and he's always clear about allocating appropriately. The trust doesn't really have any spec positions and I'm curious if Jim would ever consider adding one. Maybe the club doesn't need it because it's doing well. But curious for your take. Well, it isn't. It's a travel trust so I always think that those shouldn't be involved. I do like speculative stocks. I hope one day to be able to talk and have some interesting products that are about speculation. But it is not a charitable trust. Then we have big Mike from New York. Jim, with the first half of 2026 now in the rearview mirror, what sectors do you feel offer the best investing opportunities for the remainder of 2026? I like the banks. I like the pharmaceuticals. I like. I tell you, I've got. I know it sounds crazy, but I love travel and aerospace and then I will like tech when the big unwind is over. Particularly some of the less speculative semiconductors that I think are really great and you're familiar with them. If you watch any of the shows or stuff that we do with the club. Also we have Joe from North Carolina who asked what general method would you recommend to reduce the number of holdings? Do a portfolio getting too large. I'm at 45 holdings and prefer to be at the 25 to 30 range. All of them are in good shape or strategic. It's going to. It's getting tough to do the necessary homework. I totally agree. I talked at the end of the club today that I have 34. I want to do 30. Rank your holdings. A 1 means you got to own it and buy more if it comes down. Two means you're okay with it, but you're a weak holder. A three means you get rid of it today. You cannot possibly have all ones. There's nobody that has all ones. Do that and sell the threes. Next we have Eric from California who says I retired a year ago and have a large position in company stock acquired through RSU's employee stock purchases. It's now about 10% of my total portfolio. How would you reduce the overall weighting in my portfolio since I don't think will grow as fast as other options? Okay, you may find this to be a little counterintuitive, but 10% is actually not that much. I think you're in good shape. If you don't like the stock, by all means, sell it. There's no reason to hold on to any stock that you don't like. I've got plenty of stocks. I'm in charitable trust. There's got to be one of those 30 and change that you do like more than what you got the RS using. Last but not least, we have bob, who asked if you were to get a new puppy and wanted to name it after a public company, what would you name it? Well, I'd say by Tuesday I might name it intel. Thanks again to all our club members. And man money is back after the break.

[Mad Money Announcer]

Coming up, he's the fastest mind on wall street, so we're putting him to the test with your help. Bring on the lightning round. Next.

[Jim Cramer]

It is time. It's time for the white round. That's right. Thank go rapid fire. You name the stock I tell you to buy by myself. The floor stock punch. That time my st prepares the famous fire we b on the sound and then the lighting round is over. Are you ready? Ski tag time. Light round. Start with bill in sweet home alabama. Bill.

[Caller]

Hey, Jim, what's going on with microchip technology?

[Jim Cramer]

Well, it's a semiconductor and all the semiconductor stocks are going down. May I suggest that you wait a few more days till we get rid of all the margin players and you're going to find a bottom. I don't see it yet. Let's go to sunshine in florida. Hey, sunshine.

[Caller]

Hey, sunshine.

[Jim Cramer]

Booyah, booyah, sunshine. What's happening?

[Caller]

Hey, Vertiv took a bigger hit today than my air Conditioner does in a Florida summer. Should I keep cool and buy the dip?

[Jim Cramer]

No, you have to wait. Furtive is inspected hands. Right now the speculative hands are being margined out. They're going to get rid of them and you'll get a better price if you want to buy we're not far from it but we're going to get, we're going to get a better price. Let's go to Romeo in New Jersey. Romeo.

[Caller]

Hey Jim, I'm calling in about a speculative stock.

[Jim Cramer]

This time it's AAOI oh man, not now. I mean we gotta wait till this speculative wave is passed. I mean I'm not against speculation People know that you can have up to 10% of your portfolio in it but I want to time it when it's right. Right now the speculative players are being margined out. We don't be part of their panic. Let's go to Lee in New York. Lee.

[Caller]

Hey, how are you Jim?

[Jim Cramer]

I'm good Lee, how are you doing?

[Caller]

Excellent, thank you very much. So I'm looking to try to find a support company to build these data centers and I was looking at electric or at least components electrically and I look at a company like GE Vernova which would be great but they have a three year backlog. Right.

[Jim Cramer]

The company that I was asking about

[Caller]

thinking about was WCC or should I look at a different component?

[Jim Cramer]

Yeah, why don't you know Quant Quanta has come down a lot. It was a 788 at 630. Why don't you buy Quanta? I think that's a better company than Wesco. Let's go to Cameron in Colorado. Cameron. Booyah. Jimbo, this is Cameron. Booyah.

[Caller]

Well, first time we serve the show.

[Jim Cramer]

Oh thank you. Right, so Jim, here's what I got. I'm heavy in tech and all the AI and semiconductor craze right now but I kind of want to diversify out of it. I think the growth outlook. I'm talking about the bottler for famous drinks like Sprite, Dr. Pepper and Coca

[Caller]

Cola it's picker Coke.

[Jim Cramer]

Well it's real good but you know we take a look at the actual Coke. This is the stock by the way in April of 22,000 when we had the big reversal out of the dot coms into stocks they went for Coca Cola and they went for Bristol Myers. I would go for Coke. I think that's a better stock. Let's go to Matt in Ohio.

[Caller]

Matt.

[Jim Cramer]

Hey Jim, thanks for taking my call. This stock from falling about feels like it's been trudging through the mud uphill.

[Caller]

I don't know whether to stay with

[Jim Cramer]

it, whether to move on to something else. Stock I'm calling about is Clorox. You know, I read my first positive note about Quarks in a great deal of time today. I was a price target increase that made me say 5% yield. You know what? We want to buy it by the way, price target increase in Colgate and I think really incredible. I think this Kimberly tie up with Ken View is going to produce some terrific results. Let's go to Dolly in New Jersey. Dolly. Hey Jim, how are you?

[Caller]

I love your show. Just want to tell you that first.

[Jim Cramer]

Thank you.

[Caller]

I wanted to ask you what you thought of Nebulous at this level.

[Jim Cramer]

Nebulous is at the nexus of the craziness right now. There are a lot of people now it's not a crazy company. It's very good company. But there are a lot of there's some hedge funds that own it that I think are in a lot of trouble. There are a lot of individuals who bought it with borrowed money and a lot of options holders. The volume here is incredible. This stock is not done going down. There'll be another time to buy a But that time is not now. Let's go to Joanne in California.

[Caller]

Joanne Hi Jim, the magic guru. I'm calling from La Mesa, California with my fellow Better Investing women's talk buddy Judy. Our assignment we were supposed to come up with something by Saturday morning's meeting and we're looking for a medium to small company, not too many large companies. And the one that's present our desk is Excel Service Holdings. Exactly LS can you give me your thoughts on that?

[Jim Cramer]

I, I don't know that company. I've got to do some work on that. I, I just it's a it sound, you know. I know. I know the business is outsourcer but I got to find out more about it. We're going to have to come back on that one. I'm sorry we just. Homework. And that ladies and gentlemen is the conclusion of the Lightning Round.

[Mad Money Announcer]

The Lightning Round is sponsored by Charles Schwab. Coming up, Kramer's explaining what can cause parabolic stocks to crater and how you can avoid the fall. Next.

[Jim Cramer]

Booyah.

[Caller]

Jim Cramer, I'm a first time caller,

a happy club member.

[Jim Cramer]

I want to thank you for being

[Caller]

the people's champion of investing.

[Jim Cramer]

Thank you for helping me become a millionaire. Hann Not a strategy. That's exactly what I see happening in the stocks with so many of the tech companies, the innards in the data center like memory and storage chips, Micron, Seagate, Sanders, or the plumbing like Corning, the fiber link between chips. These are all very good companies that have more demand than they can handle. That's the wrap on them. When people hear that, they know that the numbers are headed higher when these companies report. But when you, when you get these parabolic rallies that they've had based on overconfidence and leverage on the part of overexoruban traders, well, if you buy a stock thinking that it can fly all the way to the sun, you're going to get burned. No matter how good the fundamentals are. Especially if you use margin, something I abhor and will be the bane of your existence if you're not careful. The House of a Most of us would we like to believe that when it comes to a stock, the fundamentals of the business are all that matters. As I mentioned during our investing club talk today, that's often the case, not always. At some point when a stock goes up and up and up, what we know will be a better than expected quarter, well, you know what? You had a divorce of the fundamentals. When you get the divorce, you don't have a leg to stand on. When you watch corning go from $77 to $271 in a short period of time, you know that you have to sell some. Maybe you have to cut the position in half because the fundamentals are no longer in the driver's seat. The crazies are. It's the animal spirits of the market that are in control, led by individuals and hedge funds using borrowed money and the holders of call options trying to scalp a couple quick bucks. In some cases, leveraged ETFs are adding fuel to the fire. These are emotional, often ill advised buyers. They rarely take profits. They let it run at the at some point, the professionals look at their holdings and know what we learned early on in our careers. You got to take something off the table. But if not, if you just let the monsters run, you could lose everything. When you get the professional selling huge chunks of stock, as we have right now, the margin amateurs and the call buyers and inexperienced hedge fund managers cannot possibly prop up the share prices. So what happens? The calls quickly cease to be worth anything. The margin buyers don't have enough money to fend off the margin clerks, so they're forced to sell bad prices, prices they don't sell themselves. The stocks will be sold for them by the brokerage houses trying to prevent losses for themselves. It's a vicious cycle down people. For the stocks of even some of the best companies, like Corning, parabolic moves unwind a lot faster than they go up. You know what that does? It breeds panic. At this very moment, it doesn't matter one bit how these companies are actually doing. You know that. What matters is how the margin clerks are doing. That's why, by the way, I like to wait until 2pm to see if there's a real bottom. That's when the margin clerks are done selling for the day. We find out whether there's any sort of like diminution of selling. There wasn't. Right now we're in the grips of the margin call moment. For all these component stocks and even some of the larger companies, both semiconductors and server makers and even Nvidia, the parabolic moves get erased, sometimes going back to where they started, sometimes even lower. If the fundamentals are flagging, I don't think the weak hands are done selling. The good news here is that the fundamentals haven't really changed. The bad news is that the margin clerk stopped for no man and we don't know when they'll be done with their we work. Might be tomorrow, maybe it's next week. Now we've got hedge funds shooting against a couple of the young hedge fund managers that they think are any good. They're pressing down the likes of Sanders Can Nebulous and Bloom Energy to try to get a hedge fund out of the business. Great companies, perilous stocks, bad owners. I wish I could tell you when the panickers are done, but I do know this. The faster we get rid of those who borrow the money to buy an sk, Hynix or Micron, the healthier this market will be. The unwind is good news. If you're borrowing money to buy stocks, I think you'll still have a chance to get out with your shirt on. But if you persist, you might be naked by Monday and then you won't have enough money left that it's worth it to watch our show. I like to say there's always a bull market somewhere and I promise I'd find it just for you right here on Mad Money. I'm Jim Cramer. See you next time.
