Jim Cramer Didn’t Hold Back On SpaceX’s IPO & Discussed These 12 Stocks. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks discussed by Jim Cramer.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s shares are up by 40% over the past year and by 7.4% year-to-date. It is one of Cramer’s favorite stocks, as he has continued to defend the company even though the shares have posted lackluster performance lately. The CNBC TV host continues to believe that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is at the heart of the ongoing industrial revolution and is leading the industry when it comes to AI GPU technology. The firm made another important announcement recently when it revealed the Space-1 Vera Rubin Module to bring AI computing to space. In June, markets are busy anticipating SpaceX’s IPO, and Cramer has been busy commenting on the issuance as well. In a tweet, he asserted that despite investor focus on SpaceX, NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was nevertheless at the center of unlocking the market:
“Nvidia, NOT SpaceX remains the key to this market
“Bitcoin and gold–bad money, being liquidated for SpaceX. Apple and Nvidia –good money–being liquidated”
While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Four leading AI models discuss this article
"NVDA has transitioned from a growth stock to a market-cap-weighted sentiment anchor, making it highly vulnerable to a broad index correction if AI capital expenditure growth plateaus."
Cramer’s fixation on NVDA as the 'key' to the market ignores the dangerous concentration risk currently plaguing the S&P 500. While NVDA’s Blackwell architecture and the new Vera Rubin space-compute module demonstrate legitimate technological dominance, the stock is increasingly acting as a momentum-driven proxy for the entire AI trade rather than a standalone equity play. The liquidation of 'bad money'—crypto and gold—to fund speculative IPOs like SpaceX suggests a retail-driven sentiment peak. If NVDA’s forward P/E of ~35x-40x doesn't translate into sustained hyper-growth in data center margins, the inevitable multiple compression will drag the broader indices down, regardless of the narrative surrounding the 'industrial revolution.'
The bull case for NVDA is not just about the hardware, but about its moat in the CUDA software ecosystem, which creates a 'lock-in' effect that makes current valuation premiums sustainable over a multi-year horizon.
"NVDA's dominance is real, but the stock's 40% YTD run has already priced in most of that dominance; Cramer's comment is about capital flows, not fundamentals, and the article's own caveats suggest better risk/reward exists in the AI space."
This article is mostly noise masquerading as analysis. Cramer's tweet is a flow-of-funds observation (money rotating out of Bitcoin/gold into SpaceX), not a fundamental statement about NVDA's intrinsic value. NVDA is up 40% YTD—already priced for AI dominance. The real question: does NVDA maintain 70%+ GPU market share at current valuations (trading ~30x forward P/E) when AMD, Intel, and custom chips accelerate? The 'Space-1' announcement is marketing; it doesn't move the needle on $3T revenue needs. The article itself admits it believes other AI stocks offer better risk/reward, then pivots to clickbait about 'undervalued' competitors. That's the tell.
If NVDA's moat in inference chips erodes faster than consensus expects—or if enterprise customers successfully negotiate pricing power in 2025—the stock could compress 25-35% while the AI narrative remains intact elsewhere.
"Investor rotation toward SpaceX and alternative AI names poses more downside for NVDA than Cramer's endorsement acknowledges."
Cramer's tweet frames NVDA as the market's true driver via AI GPUs while dismissing SpaceX IPO distraction, yet NVDA's 7.4% YTD return and recent softness suggest momentum may already be fading. The article's own pivot toward unnamed cheaper AI names undercuts the bullish thesis and hints at valuation concerns. Capital flows into Bitcoin, gold, and pre-IPO SpaceX could accelerate selling of NVDA holdings. Its new Space-1 module is a niche bet, not a near-term catalyst. Focus should stay on whether data-center revenue growth sustains into 2025 or faces capex digestion.
NVDA's unmatched CUDA moat and 19%+ expected EPS growth could still justify re-rating higher even if near-term rotation occurs, as past Cramer skepticism on the name has repeatedly proven premature.
"NVIDIA’s AI compute leadership remains a structural tailwind, but the upside hinges on a durable, broad enterprise AI spend; signs of demand fatigue or margin compression could abruptly alter the risk-reward."
Today’s article leans into a Cramer-driven narrative that NVDA is the market’s compass, with SpaceX and AI at the center. That framing oversimplifies the drivers of equity markets and glosses over Nvidia’s valuation risk. Nvidia’s growth is tied to ongoing AI compute demand, but that demand may be cyclical and concentrated among hyperscalers; any deceleration in enterprise AI budgets, weaker data-center capex, or a pivot to alternative architectures could hit revenue and margins. Competition from AMD and Intel, plus supply-chain constraints at TSMC and potential export controls on advanced chips, could cap upside. Missing context: earnings trajectory, margin expansion vs. the price, and AI monetization beyond GPUs.
The strongest counter is that the AI hardware cycle could be peaking; Nvidia’s lofty multiple already prices in continued rapid growth, so even modest demand slowing or margin pressure could trigger a sharp re-rating. Without durable, broad-based AI software monetization, upside may prove fainter than expected.
"NVDA's valuation is vulnerable to a collapse in enterprise AI software ROI, which would force a sharp contraction in data center demand."
Claude, you hit on the critical structural risk: enterprise pricing power. Everyone is obsessing over hyperscaler capex, but if the 'AI revolution' fails to deliver ROI for the end-user, those enterprise budgets will evaporate by Q3 2025. We are ignoring the 'trough of disillusionment' in the Gartner Hype Cycle. NVDA’s moat is deep, but it is not immune to a macro-driven contraction in software spending if AI-as-a-service fails to show tangible margin expansion.
"NVDA's near-term risk is capex normalization, not enterprise AI ROI failure; the latter doesn't matter until 2026."
Gemini's 'trough of disillusionment' framing is intellectually honest but premature. We're conflating two separate risks: hyperscaler ROI (which drives capex) vs. enterprise adoption (which drives software spend). NVDA's revenue is 80%+ hyperscaler-dependent; enterprise AI monetization is a 2026+ story. The real 2025 risk isn't disillusionment—it's capex normalization after 2024's $300B+ spend. That's a cyclical headwind, not a hype-cycle collapse. If hyperscalers maintain 40-50% YoY capex growth (not 100%+), NVDA still compounds at 15-20% EPS, justifying current multiples. Nobody's priced in *actual demand destruction*—just deceleration.
"Hyperscaler ROI shortfalls will accelerate enterprise cuts, hitting NVDA revenue harder and sooner than capex normalization alone implies."
Claude underplays how quickly hyperscaler capex digestion could spill into enterprise budgets. If 2024's $300B+ spend fails to produce measurable ROI by mid-2025, the same CFOs approving GPU purchases will cut software licenses too. That linkage compresses both hardware and services revenue simultaneously, leaving NVDA's 30x forward multiple exposed to a faster re-rating than the 15-20% EPS scenario assumes.
"NVDA's valuation risk rests more on software monetization ROI than capex pacing alone; a failure there could trigger meaningful multiple compression even if EPS growth remains solid."
Grok flags hyperscaler capex digestion as the trigger for a broader NVDA downturn. True, a capex slowdown would hit hardware revenue, but the bigger lever is software monetization around CUDA. If enterprises don’t convert GPU spend into measurable ROI, the moat weakens. My worry: even with 15-20% EPS growth, a 30x forward multiple could compress 20-25% on earnings disappointment or margin pressure—driving the stock earlier than the cycle turns.
The panel's discussion centered around NVDA's dominance and potential risks, with most participants expressing caution due to valuation, concentration risk, and dependence on hyperscaler capex. The panel agreed that NVDA's growth is tied to AI compute demand, but they differed on the timeline and extent of enterprise adoption and its impact on NVDA's revenue and margins.
