Despite Nvidia’s post-earnings decline, the S & P 500 managed to advance by 0.7% on Thursday. The AI chipmaker’s shares tumbled by 3.5% after surpassing estimates on both revenue and profit. However, the company fell short of analysts’ expectations for its full-year outlook on gross margins. Jim Cramer referred to this as a setback for Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s CEO. While Cramer’s long-term view on the stock remains unchanged, he advised investors against buying the dip immediately.
Dover, a company that produces thermal connectors for data center liquid cooling, saw a 0.7% increase in its stock price on Thursday. During its post-earnings call, Huang mentioned a significant interest from data center operators in adopting liquid cooling technology. With Nvidia selling more GPUs to customers using this technology, Dover stands to benefit. The CNBC Investing Club expressed interest in purchasing more Dover shares if it were not restricted.
Salesforce’s shares rose by over 1% following its better-than-expected earnings report on Wednesday. Jim Cramer described it as a strong quarter for the enterprise software company. He highlighted the positive margin trend and optimistic outlook for upcoming offerings, such as new AI tools. Cramer’s Charitable Trust holds positions in Nvidia, Dover, and Salesforce.
