We recently compiled a list of the Jim Cramer Talked About These 12 Stocks Recently. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against the other stocks.
On Friday, Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, discussed the recent struggles in the market and how the downturn in momentum stocks has significantly affected aggressive growth investors. He pointed out the complexities of the market on Friday, explaining how things took a drastic turn for the worse. According to Cramer, the market can be divided into two distinct categories: one driven by momentum and the other focused on traditional growth.
“Alright, we got two markets right now. One is all about momentum. The other is all about old-fashioned growth. Momentum is nasty right now. Classic growth, well, it is cruising.”

Despite the numbers, Cramer noted that these dynamics were not immediately obvious when you look at the broader averages, with the Dow dropping 749 points, the S&P falling 1.71%, and the Nasdaq plummeting by 2.2% on Friday. He said that investors heavily invested in momentum stocks are finding it increasingly difficult like they are struggling to breathe after the “oxygen” was taken away.
Cramer said that on the other hand, those with investments in established growth stocks and diversified portfolios are faring much better. He mentioned that these stocks have performed well for the first time in quite a while, offering a bit of relief for those holding them. Reflecting on the sharp downturn in the market, Cramer explained that the situation can be traced back to several concerning economic indicators. He added:
“This week, we got a series of readings, key numbers for home sales, consumer sentiment that show true softness, and a sense that maybe things are starting to go off the rails in the economy. Well, that's incredible given the surprising head of steam we had going into 2025.”
