Jim Cramer Predicted Apple (AAPL)'s Gemini Deal

We recently published 9 Stocks on Jim Cramer’s Radar.  Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer's radar.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of Cramer’s favorite stocks. The CNBC TV host spent most of 2025 defending the firm against its detractors as the shares struggled due to multiple news cycles, such as weak iPhone performance and a lack of AI initiatives. In January, Bernstein reiterated a Buy rating on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s shares and set a $325 share price target. Bernstein’s coverage came after Raymond James had set a Hold rating on the shares, as it pointed out that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) might find it hard to eke out additional gains from its current strengths of product cycles and a robust hardware ecosystem. However, Cramer continues to believe that the shares should be held, as he added that in 2026, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) can integrate Gemini into its platform:

“Well some innate, you know there’s another analyst that comes out and says that the games are not selling as well in this retail store. We’re playing that game again. It is amazing, remember how many times we’ve played the game? Well there’s a component maker in Taiwan, that’s not giving good numbers for Apple. Just own it, okay. This is the year when Gemini, Google, pays them a check to be the only sole source for AI, that’s my prediction.

“Apple’s got good, they were ready for this more than everybody else. Look, obviously even the companies themselves who are in that business, you take a Lam or a KLA, or Applied Materials, no one saw this coming.”

While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL 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.
