Cramer Urges Diversifying Beyond AI, Citing 5% Yields and Amgen's 10% Drop

Summary
AI infrastructure stocks have surged this year but turned volatile in recent weeks, prompting Jim Cramer to tell investors not to “load up the boat” ahead of November’s midterm elections.
GE Aerospace’s nearly $12 billion deal for Consolidated Precision Products led his non-AI picks, with Cramer arguing the acquisition should strengthen engine supply chains and help Boeing raise output against its backlog.
Robinhood and Affirm were his favored fintech names, with Affirm’s 28 million active customers and partnerships with Amazon, Costco, Walmart and Apple underscoring the broader opportunity outside data centers.
Healthcare and energy infrastructure rounded out the list: Cramer highlighted Hinge Health, Medtronic, Enbridge and Enterprise Products Partners, noting the two pipeline operators yield more than 5% and could gain from Strait of Hormuz disruptions.
Amgen was his riskiest call after a 10% Tuesday slide tied to sympathy over Novartis’ failed cholesterol-drug trial, but he said the selloff may already reflect much of that risk.
