Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar as he highlighted AI winners to buy for 2026. A caller asked whether Cramer sees the stock returning to its all-time high. He replied: Okay, I think that last quarter was very good, and people were betting against Oracle. I think that’s a bummer bet. I think that you should go with Oracle. I wish they’d get rid of Cerner an...
Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar as he highlighted AI winners to buy for 2026. A caller asked whether Cramer sees the stock returning to its all-time high. He replied: Okay, I think that last quarter was very good, and people were betting against Oracle. I think that’s a bummer bet. I think that you should go with Oracle. I wish they’d get rid of Cerner and just take the… charge.

Cramer mentioned the stock during the April 13 episode and remarked: Oracle, the builder of so many data centers, an iconic enterprise software play, jumped nearly 13% today, which is a healthy sign given the previous trajectory. Stock’s been pretty much straight down from $345 to $145. Almost a complete round trip from when it announced it was going into the data center business in the first place. Again, some parts of Oracle are disruptable, others aren’t. While we acknowledge the potential of ORCL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Investors seek growth stocks to capitalize on above-average growth in financials that help these securities grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a great growth stock is not easy at all. In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end. However, the task of finding cutting-edge growth stocks is made easy with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects. Our proprietary system currently recommends Micron (MU) as one such stock. This company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank. Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better. Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this chipmaker a great growth pick right now. Earnings Growth Arguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration. While the historical EPS growth rate for Micron is 3.2%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 605.1% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 47.7%. Cash Flow Growth While cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their busine...

What happened: Micron (MU) stock jumped Friday, putting the chipmaker on track for its seventh straight intraday record high, adding to its weekly gain of over 30%. What’s behind the move: The rally is tied to the AI memory boom, where demand for high-bandwidth memory and other advanced chips has turned Micron into one of the market’s biggest AI hardware winners. The stock is now up 120% since its March 30 low and nearly 1,000% from its April 8, 2025, post-”Liberation Day” low. By the numbers: Micron has hit 28 intraday records this year and added $437 billion in market value since March 20, lifting its valuation to roughly $800 billion. Micron is now the fourth-largest chip stock, behind Nvidia (NVDA), TSMC (TSM), and Broadcom (AVGO). It ranks 13th in the S&P 500, behind JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and ahead of AMD (AMD). In the Nasdaq 100, it ranks 10th, just behind Walmart (WMT) and ahead of AMD. Micron was not alone Friday. SanDisk (SNDK), Applied Materials (AMAT), ASML (ASML), Intel (INTC), AMD, and Nvidia also hit intraday records. Smaller names on that list, including MACOM Technology Solutions (MTSI) and AXT (AXTI), have each notched more than 30 intraday records this year. What else you need to know: The next key area is below the tape. Micron’s old breakout zone around $465 to $470 is now the support area to watch. However, that’s 34% below the current trading level.
