Summary
AI infrastructure stocks could be the market's next rebound trade, Jim Cramer said, arguing a single strong earnings report can reverse sentiment after the group's recent selloff.
ServiceNow's July 22 results helped trigger that template in software: ServiceNow has climbed about 22% and Salesforce roughly 15% since then, despite both still being down sharply for the year.
Enterprise software had been pressured for months by fears that AI models would disrupt SaaS business models, but Cramer said investors changed course once the sector stopped falling and valuations became more compelling.
Vertiv illustrates the setup he sees in data-center plays: the stock has fallen about 40% from its May 14 high, and Cramer said further weakness could make beaten-down AI infrastructure names attractive again.

Are hyperscalers building a massive AI infrastructure bubble, or will skyrocketing compute demand justify the billions pouring into data center technologies?
As AI agents replace human workers, will the radical shift in software pricing models save SaaS giants or quietly destroy their profit margins?
