Previously, Cramer commented on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s AI strategy:

“This is one of the reasons why I’m so concerned about Apple. Here’s a company with absolutely no AI strategy that I can see that does buying back stock endlessly, which, by the way, has accomplished nothing. Take it from me… And it started down the path of the old IBM where if it wasn’t invented there, it wasn’t good enough. We know where that strategy only… [brought] IBM, and it took many years to recover from it. Apple can change course by spending big money to acquire Perplexity, which I regard as a just-the-facts-ma’am engine, no bias that I can find. Right now, at this very moment… where there’s no clear winner, and each offering seems to be fighting for second place, Apple can step in to become the number one AI chat company immediately…

While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
