Jim Cramer Says Stay Away from This Nancy Pelosi Stock

We recently published a list of 10 Jim Cramer Stocks to Watch as US-China Prepare to Begin Talks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.

The optimism over US-China trade talks is increasing as the US Treasury Secretary is set to meet China’s trade negotiator in Switzerland later this week.

In a latest program on CNBC, Jim Cramer expressed his renewed optimism for major tech stocks and said the negative market sentiment about these companies was weakened after the latest quarterly reports.

“Sometimes you forget why you ever liked something in the first place. Take the super stocks, the hyperscalers, the tech titans—I don’t care whatever you want to call them. These stocks all got lumped together because of their size, their gigantic market caps that dwarf the rest of the market, and then they lost their juice,” Cramer said. “It’s their scale, their smarts, their moats, their balance sheets, and their sensational products.”

Jim Cramer also talked about the latest data in company reports that shows the demand for data centers remains strong.

Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM)

Number of Hedge Fund Investors: 7

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about Tempus AI, Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM), a stock that has gained attention because of its addition to Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio. Pelosi in January purchased 50 call options on the stock with a strike price of $20 and an expiration date of 1/16/26.

“Yeah, diagnostics with no money being made. We’re not recommending stocks right now that are losing a lot of money because we think this could be a dicey environment, turn on a dime. It’s going fine right now, but I don’t like companies that aren’t making any money,” Cramer said about TEM in a latest program.

Baron Discovery Fund stated the following regarding Tempus AI, Inc (NASDAQ:TEM) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:

“Shares of Tempus AI, Inc (NASDAQ:TEM) contributed to performance. Tempus is a cancer diagnostics company that provides genomic testing results. Tempus has also amassed an over 200 petabyte proprietary multimodal dataset that combines clinical patient data with genomic testing data. In addition to using this data to empower more intelligent diagnostics for its own tests, Tempus also licenses this data to biopharmaceutical companies which use it to design smarter clinical trials and identify potential new drug targets. We think this proprietary dataset is unique with meaningful barriers to entry, and brings meaningful value to biopharmaceutical R&D. As we mentioned in the letter from last quarter, shares have been incredibly volatile. We took advantage of this volatility to buy a meaningful position when shares sold off into the low $20’s per share from an IPO price of $37. When shares spiked into the mid-$70’s (likely due to short sellers covering losses as shares rose), we took profits on a meaningful portion of the investment as we believed valuation had become stretched (shares now trade in the high $40’s to low $50’s level). We like our position sizing now, and would add to the position at lower valuations. We believe that Tempus has significant growth ahead of it and we are excited about its unique business model.”

Overall, TEM ranks 10th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discussed. While we acknowledge the potential of TEM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that under the radar AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than TEM but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
