Cramer Backs Intel and Boeing as Corning Slides 15% and AI Infrastructure Rally Fades

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jul 28

Summary

  • Intel and Boeing were Jim Cramer’s main buy calls Tuesday, with Cramer saying he would keep buying Intel on weakness and arguing Boeing can still rise for months after stronger-than-expected cash flow.
  • A 15% drop in Corning sharpened his warning on AI infrastructure stocks, which he said became too risky after parabolic gains; GE Vernova has also fallen about 20% from its late-June record.
  • Big semiconductor names were sold again as investors rotated into defensive stocks, lifting Procter & Gamble nearly 2% while the Nasdaq stayed near flat and the S&P 500 edged higher.
  • Wednesday earnings from Microsoft, Meta and Starbucks are the next test, with investors focused on whether Microsoft and Meta defend capex plans after Alphabet’s post-results sell-off and whether Starbucks’ margin-focused turnaround is gaining traction.
