Jim Cramer on NVIDIA: "That's the Best Place to Be"

By Syeda Seirut Javed | February 02, 2026, 3:18 PM

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his thoughts on. Cramer said that the company is “running the game,” as he remarked:

Is Amazon paper or scissors? I think it’s paper. But this game changes so quickly, you may actually have to rush the judgment. Unless, of course, you’re NVIDIA. They aren’t playing a game at all. They’re running the game. They’re the house. That’s the best place to be.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) develops accelerated computing and AI platforms, GPUs for gaming and professional use, cloud services, robotics and embedded systems, and automotive technologies. Cramer highlighted his interview with the CEO during the January 27 episode, as he commented:

Hardly a day goes by when we don’t see some government intervention in the economy. Yesterday, I spoke to Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA. He was in China… He seemed confident that he could win some meaningful Chinese business, but he said he preferred to keep the potential contracts out of any earnings estimate for the time being.

We ran out of time in the interview before I could ask him how NVIDIA would account for the 25% of China sales that are supposed to go to the US government as part of the bargain the firm struck with the president… NVIDIA stock, by the way, finally showed signs of life. It’s only up 1% for the year. I think that that’s ridiculous. I think it should catch up with the rest of some of these big Mag Seven names.

While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
