Cramer Backs Six AI Stocks as Taiwan Supply Chain Rebounds
AI hardware shares came under pressure as crowded positions and leveraged funds unwound, even though demand for data-center computing remained firm. CNBC’s Jim Cramer highlighted Micron Technology, Applied Materials, Intel, AMD, Super Micro Computer and Nvidia, arguing that fundamentals could drive a rebound once forced selling faded. The call matters for Taiwan’s server manufacturers and component suppliers, which sit at the center of the global AI infrastructure buildout.
On Aug. 11, Super Micro reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $11.12 billion, up 93% from a year earlier, and forecast fiscal 2027 sales of $65 billion to $72 billion. Intel the same day upsized a new-share offering to $20 billion. Nvidia on Aug. 10 partnered with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR on platforms targeting more than $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure, helping Taiwan-linked server shares rebound first.

The history behind this eventJim Cramer Sees AI Data Center Gains Across Chips, Power and Two Other Sectors
The AI data center boom is spreading beyond GPUs to memory, servers, networking, cooling and power supply. CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer said the trend is no longer a single-technology theme but an economic transformation affecting utilities, industrial companies and cloud services. Supply-chain earnings and valuations have therefore become a key focus for investors.
Cramer said on May 10, 2026, that it was still not too late to invest in the theme. Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta are expected to spend up to about $725 billion combined on capital expenditures in 2026, an increase of 77% from a year earlier. He highlighted four categories—chips, infrastructure, power and cloud platforms—and expects the related data centers to make a more visible contribution to revenue starting in 2027.
