We recently published a list of 10 Jim Cramer Stocks to Watch Amid Trump Tariff Wars. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.
Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about the latest signs of de-escalation in trade wars between the US and China and told investors that even bear market rallies could be a positive sign. Cramer, however, believes the US government has yet to give any clarity on its policies on China.
“There’s a great misunderstanding about how real recoveries get started. They always start as bear market rallies, for heaven’s sake. They’re rarely based on hard facts. When you get this kind of rally, it doesn’t happen because someone gave you the green light to start buying. You don’t get a statement from the president that the trade war is over and everything’s back to normal.”
In addition to positive reports on the US-China tariff front, Cramer also mentioned the latest reports on President Trump’s stance on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, saying that the possibility of Trump firing the central bank chief seems to be “off the table.”

Jim Cramer in a latest program reiterated his concerns about Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) and said that he’s not using Google anymore because of other AI search tools:
“I’ve left Google. Now, I didn’t leave it at the right price, I know that, but I left it because I don’t use Google other than for the most simple historical stuff, because there are other ones that I wouldn’t go to. I won’t go to Grok to find out whether Hoover was president. I’ll still use Google for that, but I just find myself using so many other things, and I know I can’t be alone, and that’s what I worry about. I know YouTube’s doing well, though.”
Alphabet posted strong quarterly results but the market remains reluctant about the stock amid threats to its search business due to the onslaught of AI tools like ChatGPT. However, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) bulls believe these concerns are overstated.
