Jim Cramer Recommends Nvidia Over 'Very Cheap' Semiconductor Stock

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer said Cerence Inc. (NASDAQ:CRNC) is a “winner.”

Supporting his view, Cerence, on May 7, posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NASDAQ:ACB) is a “nice speculative” stock, Cramer said. “I'm not fighting it. You can own it.”

Aurora Cannabis, on March 20, announced it discovered a novel source of genetic resistance against powdery mildew, a pathogen, in cannabis sativa.

Although Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SWKS) is “very cheap,” it doesn't have a catalyst, Cramer said. He recommends owning NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) rather than Skyworks.

As per the recent news, Skyworks Solutions, on May 29, named Robert Schriesheim as interim CFO.

When asked about Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL), he said, “We think Sezzle's had its day. I don't think we can recommend Sezzle any higher here.”

On the earnings front, Sezzle reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results on May 8 and raised its FY25 guidance.

Cramer recommended holding Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc. (NYSE:BBW) and not buying it because it “just had that spike.” However, he said he would buy the stock in case it comes down.

Build-A-Bear posted better-than-expected results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 on May 29. Revenue rose 11.9% year over year to $128.4 million, surpassing analysts' expectations of $118.9 million.

Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) is such a “good” company, Cramer said. “That is a great stock."

Lending support to his choice, JP Morgan analyst Tami Zakaria raised the price target on the stock from $229 to $275 on May 23.

When asked about HighPeak Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:HPK), Cramer said, “Oil at $62 a barrel does not make me interested. If you think oil's going to go up you do have a winner, though. HighPeak is levered to the price of oil more than almost all of them.”

On the earnings front, HighPeak Energy, on May 12, posted upbeat results for the first quarter.
