Was Jim Cramer Right About General Motors Company (GM)?
We recently published a list of In this article, we are going to take a look at where General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
In that older episode, a longtime shareholder asked Cramer whether he should swap his shares of General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) for Ford, given GM's buyback program and Ford's higher dividend. Cramer said:
'Oh well, you know one is in the charitable trust, Ford is. But this GM buyback of Mary Barra's has really worked, and I think the stock's going higher. […] Right now, stick with GM. I'm not going to urge you to sell. […] I can't say swap one for the other right now. You got the one with the buyback that's what matters.'
Cramer was right not to panic as GM rose a modest 9.91% afterward. General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) is investing heavily in electric vehicle innovation, relaunching the Chevy Bolt with lower-cost lithium iron phosphate batteries to broaden market reach.

Comparing the two automakers again recently, here's what Cramer said about them on May 1st:
'You know, listen, Phil, you had an amazing interview with Mary Barra [GM CEO], I've got to ask you, it looks like that Ford has an edge on GM. When it comes to what's going on. In terms of tariffs. Because I think that Jim Farley for whatever reason makes much more in pure America than GM does. [Phil agreed]'

Toyota makes a tariff move customers are going to hate
Toyota makes a tariff move customers are going to hate originally appeared on TheStreet. While President Donald Trump's social media posts make it seem as though his tariff moves are executed at his whim, it is clear that at least some industries have a seat at the negotiating table. The auto industry's top executives have said they are in close contact with the White House and have even praised the president and his White House team for hearing their concerns. However, it is also clear that Trump's interest in protecting the auto industry's bottom line is Stellantis, and General Motors — America's Big 3 automakers — have all said that Trump's tariffs will cost them billions, and they've pulled their guidance due to a lack of visibility. Trump has made it clear to every industry that he doesn't want prices to increase, even going as far as telling companies like Walmart to just 'EAT THE TARIFFS.' So, every time the auto industry has been observed raising prices in recent months, it has denied that it has anything to do with tariffs. Others, like Mazda, have indeed eaten the tariffs, with the Japanese automaker sending a letter to its U.S. dealers informing them that it would not raise its sticker prices or tack on import fees for any vehicles already on dealership lots or that will come into the country before May 1. Toyota is the latest Japanese automaker to make a pricing move, but it isn't blaming the move on tariffs. Toyota sold over 2.3 million vehicles in the U.S. last year, a 3.7% year-over-year increase. Between April 2024 and March 2025, the company built 1.96 million units in the U.S., according to Statista. So, despite a U.S. production capacity that can handle nearly 2 million vehicles a year, Toyota still ships in nearly half a million vehicles from overseas to sell in the U.S. On June 21, Toyota said that prices for several Toyota and Lexus brand vehicles will rise by an average of $270 and $208, respectively, starting in July, according to an email seen by Bloomberg. While the price increase could be seen as a response to the 25% duties Trump has placed on auto imports, Toyota insists that the move is just part of its regular price review April, fellow Japanese automaker Mitsubishi said it would hold its vehicles in port for the foreseeable future instead of offloading them and being forced to pay duties. "We have sufficient stock on the ground at dealers for the moment to not impact customer choice," the company said at the time. While it was unclear how much cargo was in the ports, Mitsubishi's 330 U.S. dealers sold 109,843 vehicles in the U.S. in 2024, a 25.8% year-over-year increase and the brand's best performance since 2019. Earlier this month, the company announced that it is raising prices on three models, also saying that the move was just a regular adjustment and not a reaction to tariffs. Japanese car companies aren't the only ones afraid to pin their price increases on tariffs. In May, Ford sent a notice to dealers saying it planned to raise prices on the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, Maverick pickup truck, and Bronco Sport SUV by as much as $2,000 on some models. Those vehicles are made in Mexico. More Automotive news Toyota makes surprising move to beat Tesla in key market A Ford spokesperson confirmed that the price increases will be seen on vehicles built after May 2. Those vehicles will start arriving on dealer lots in late June. The company emphasized that its employee pricing promotion remains for all of its vehicles through the July 4 weekend. Just like Mazda and Toyota before it, the company says the increase was due to its usual midyear pricing actions, but it was also "combined with some tariffs we are facing. We have not passed on the full cost of tariffs to our customers."Toyota makes a tariff move customers are going to hate first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 22, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 22, 2025, where it first appeared.

‘Still Not a Bargain,' Says Top Investor About Nike Stock
'Just Do It,' goes the motto that Nike (NYSE:NKE) made a household catchphrase. With its branded 'Swoosh' and world-famous spokespeople, it is no stretch to argue that Nike helped to build the premium shoe market — one that grew by leaps and bounds earlier this decade. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Indeed, the COVID years saw a major spike in Nike's footwear sales – from $23.3 billion in 2020 to over $35 billion in 2023 – though growth has been slowing of late. Last year saw footwear revenues decrease slightly, and its share price has fallen almost 40% during the past twelve months. This week, Nike will be releasing its FQ4 2025 results, and consensus estimates are not exactly bullish. Analysts are expecting total revenues of $10.7 billion – down 15% year-over-year – while a projected EPS of $0.12 would represent an 89% decrease year-over-year. One top investor known by the pseudonym Stone Fox Capital thinks that the growing competition will continue to present stiff resistance going forward. 'Nike remains overvalued despite a significant price decline, with the market underestimating downside risks and ongoing competitive pressures,' explains the 5-star investor, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros. The biggest challenge for Nike going forward will be the growing competition, asserts Stone Fox Capital, citing On Holding and HOKA as two of the biggest threats. For instance, ONON's On Running is expected to grow revenues by 40% this year. Still, NKE is trading 'at multiples above the market,' despite forecasts of stagnating growth going forward. Stone Fox Capital spots quite a disconnect – one that the market has yet to take fully into account. 'Nike should be viewed based on the readily available data of a massive athletic footwear company that hasn't grown in years facing immense competition,' adds Stone Fox Capital. Stone Fox Capital is urging investors to pay attention to upcoming guidance for the next quarter, which the investor predicts will be a 'horrible' forecast. Needless to say, Stone Fox Capital does not believe that 'Just Do It' is good advice for would-be investors at present. 'The stock might be down substantially from the all-time highs a few years ago, but Nike isn't actually trading like the business is under pressure,' concludes Stone Fox Capital, who rates NKE a Sell. (To watch Stone Fox Capital's track record, click here) Wall Street is overall positive when it comes to Nike, though not overwhelmingly. With 12 Buy and 11 Hold ratings, NKE is a consensus Moderate Buy. Its 12-month average price target of $71.24 has an upside of ~19%.

Better Cybersecurity Stock: CrowdStrike or SentinelOne?
CrowdStrike and SentinelOne have similar business models and offerings. CrowdStrike is much larger. SentinelOne trades at a steep discount to CrowdStrike. 10 stocks we like better than CrowdStrike › Artificial intelligence (AI) may have many benefits, but it's also making it easier for hackers, online criminals, and other digital malefactors to threaten businesses, and those threats are getting more potent. Keeping them at bay requires a lot of funds to be devoted to cybersecurity, making companies like CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and SentinelOne (NYSE: S) excellent investment opportunities. But is there an advantage to buying one over the other now? Both companies' base products are AI-powered protection platforms that analyze digital activity and learn to spot the threats among the normal activity. They deploy their software to network endpoints -- in other words, laptops, smartphones, and other devices that can access a client's internal network. By protecting these devices, companies make it harder for cyberattackers to gain access to their internal networks, where they might steal sensitive information, delete files, interfere with systems, or even lock them down with ransomware to extort payments from their victims. While endpoint protection is how both companies land clients, each bolsters its offerings with an array of other cybersecurity products that clients can use to create a protection suite tailored to their unique situations. Since these two direct competitors offer highly similar product types, it's hard to declare either a winner on this front from an investor perspective. Winner: Tie. From a sheer size perspective, CrowdStrike is the clear winner. During its fiscal 2026 first quarter, which ended April 30, CrowdStrike's annual recurring revenue (ARR) rose to $4.4 billion. SentinelOne's ARR of $948 million in its fiscal Q1 was less than a quarter of that. While size doesn't always matter, in this case, it does. Because so many more companies use CrowdStrike's platform, it's more likely that any given IT professional will have at least one contact already on its client list. If CrowdStrike is doing a great job with those clients, word will spread, and it will likely receive more serious consideration in future cybersecurity bidding processes. This advantage cannot be understated. Indeed, it's one of the reasons why CrowdStrike's growth has remained strong despite its size. Winner: CrowdStrike In terms of growth rates, SentinelOne is slightly outperforming CrowdStrike in this category. However, this should be no surprise because SentinelOne is a much smaller company. In fiscal Q1, SentinelOne's ARR rose 24% year over year, while CrowdStrike's increased 22% year over year. While I will give the point to SentinelOne, it's important to understand that CrowdStrike is growing from a much larger base than SentinelOne, making this close call all the more impressive for CrowdStrike. Winner: SentinelOne Due to its smaller size and focus on top-line growth, SentinelOne is far from profitable, while CrowdStrike has achieved intermittent profitability (although it reverted to a negative operating margin and a loss in its most recent quarter). SentinelOne is far from breaking even, but CrowdStrike was in this same position about five years ago. There's no reason not to expect SentinelOne to follow a similar path to profitability, but it will take some time. Meanwhile, CrowdStrike should eventually turn a profit again, as it has proven that it can do that. Winner: CrowdStrike CrowdStrike is leading this battle of the stocks so far, but SentinelOne is about to change the narrative with one jaw-dropping metric. CrowdStrike is the most popular cybersecurity stock in the market, and as a result, it has been bid up to expensive levels. From a price-to-sales (P/S) standpoint (the best metric to use to compare these companies since CrowdStrike flips between profitable and unprofitable, while SentinelOne is years away from profits), CrowdStrike has gotten far more expensive than SentinelOne over the past few years. CrowdStrike stock is now five times more expensive than SentinelOne, which is hard to believe, considering they compete in the same industry and are growing at nearly identical rates. This leads me to believe that CrowdStrike's stock has been overly hyped up while SentinelOne has been forgotten. While I'm OK with valuing CrowdStrike at a premium due to its market leadership position, this is far too great a premium to pay. SentinelOne is a dirt-cheap stock, and CrowdStrike is almost too expensive to consider. While I have been a long-term CrowdStrike bull, I'd be a bit cautious about buying the stock at its current lofty valuation. As a result, I think SentinelOne is the better cybersecurity investment right now.
