Cramer Bets Dell Is the AI Hardware Leader, Not Nvidia, in 2026

Jim Cramer says Dell is the most important stock today, arguing its AI-server momentum outpaces Nvidia in 2026. Dell posted Q2 FY27 revenue of $46.97B (up 57.8% YoY) and EPS of $7.04, with net income up 255%. The AI story is supported by a record $95B AI backlog, $60.9B in AI-server orders, and $16.4B AI-server revenue. Dell raised its full-year outlook to about $192B in revenue and $25.50 in non-GAAP EPS. Valuation favors Dell (roughly 23x vs Nvidia’s ~44x), as the company’s AI-infrastructure push — including Vera Rubin-based systems and more than 6,500 AI customers — underscores a non-chipmaker leadership in AI deployment. Dell is up about 240% in 2026, while Nvidia has risen around 17%, making Cramer’s Dell-centric call particularly notable.

Oracle Poised for 3x Upside on AI Backlog, Says Guggenheim

Oracle has fallen about 35% year-to-date, but Guggenheim’s John DiFucci argues the stock could rise roughly 2x–3x thanks to a massive $638 billion remaining backlog and strong cloud growth, with a $400 price target signaling potential upside despite a current price around $124 and a consensus near $252. The bull case rests on backlog conversion and a long-term FCF recovery, while the bear case highlights negative FY2026 free cash flow, heavy ongoing capex and debt plans, and risks from OpenAI concentration and data-center energy costs. Analysts’ views remain bullish on Oracle’s AI/cloud trajectory, even as credit concerns and execution risk linger.

Oracle’s AI Ambition Faces Backlash: Debt-Funded Growth With OpenAI Dependency

Oracle is funding aggressive OCI expansion through debt to chase AI growth, boasting a $638 billion AI backlog largely tied to OpenAI. That customer concentration increases risk versus cash-rich rivals like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon. The stock trades around 14x forward earnings; if Oracle can convert a sizable portion of its backlog into recurring revenue and diversify its customer base, the valuation could become attractive; otherwise, investors are pricing in the elevated financing risk.

AI Backlog Pushes Microsoft Toward a $600+ Target Within a Year

Microsoft trades around $369 with a 12-month price target of $491.47; bulls say Azure’s 39% growth and OpenAI-backed Azure AI spend could lift the stock to about $601 within a year, while a bear case sits near $436.41. Longer-term projections rise to $570 (2027), $650 (2028), $761.92 (2029) and $818.04 (2030) as AI monetization and Azure backlog provide multi-year revenue visibility, though heavy AI-related capex and macro headwinds pose risks.
