'NVIDIA (NVDA)'s a Mark Time Stock Right Now," Says Jim Cramer

We recently published 8 Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar.  NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer's radars.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s shares haven’t performed well lately. They are up by 30.9% year-to-date, but since October end, the stock is down by 12.6% amidst worries about an AI bubble and competition in the AI chip industry. However, the weakness hasn’t stopped analysts from expressing optimism about NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s shares. One such example came on December 19th when Tigress Financial kept a Strong Buy rating and raised the share price target to $350. As part of its rationale, the financial firm pointed out that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is the top investment choice in AI and enjoys a comfortable position across the data center stack. It added that the firm was also making inroads into other markets, such as autonomous driving. Tigress’ optimism followed Bernstein’s coverage on December 15th when the firm reiterated an Outperform rating and a $275 share price target for NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s stock. Cramer’s been highly enthusiastic about the firm throughout 2025, but in this appearance, he advised caution:

“It’s just that NVIDIA, they, they have no shortage of customers. And all these stories seem to act as if there is. Now NVIDIA, horrible chart. NVIDIA, nothing new, not until the spring, so NVIDIA has to mark time. . .NVIDIA’s a mark time stock right now.”

While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
