Texas Roadhouse shares fall after CFO departs. Here's where Jim Cramer stands on the stock now
Every weekday the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Tuesday's key moments. 1. The stock market is slightly higher on Tuesday. Investors "just want to wait for what happens with the trade talks," Jim Cramer said, as U.S. and Chinese officials meet for a second day in London. "I beg to differ," Jim said, explaining that there are other dynamics in the market to follow closely. That includes tame interest rates and a pickup in oil prices. "The economy may not be hurt as badly as we think," Jim said. "You have to start thinking beyond tariffs and saying that there are a lot of companies that have adjusted to it and that we are pricing them in." 2. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. shares are up a little over 2% after reporting solid May sales Tuesday morning. Wedbush analysts said TSMC's second-quarter revenue is on pace to exceed estimates, a positive sign for Club name Nvidia , which relies on the company to make its leading AI chips. Shares of Nvidia aren't moving much Tuesday, but Jim said that's because the company is "caught in the vortex of the trade talks." Director of Portfolio Analysis Jeff Marks noted that DuPont's electronic business supplies to TSMC, so the sales data is a positive sign for that Club name. "It's a good sign for everything [in the chip industry]," added Jim, citing positive stock reactions from AMD , Texas Instruments , and Micron . 3. Meanwhile, Texas Roadhouse shares fell roughly 2.5% Tuesday after announcing the departure of CFO Chris Monroe. While this kind of news always catches our eye, Jim said the company's statement suggests Monroe was not fired for cause and is simply moving back to Texas after two years at the Kentucky-based restaurant chain. Given the way the stock is reacting, Jim said: "You buy Texas Roadhouse if you don't already own it." The company is searching for a successor, while its vice president of finance, Keith Humpich, serves as the interim CFO. The Club made its last two purchases of Texas Roadhouse in April amid tariff turmoil, then booked some profits in May. 4. Stocks covered in Tuesday's rapid fire at the end of the video were: JM Smucker and Casey's General Stores .

Snowflake Inc. (SNOW) Has A 'Terrific AI Story,' Says Jim Cramer
Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) is one of the . Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) is another frequently discussed Jim Cramer stock. The firm's shares have 40.6% year-to-date on the back of several catalysts such as strong quarterly and full-year revenue guidance along with significant exposure to the AI industry. Cramer's previous comments about the firm have praised the firm's CEO and speculated that perhaps Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) was on the cusp of a breakout. Cramer believes CEO Ramaswamy has momentum and is an expert at closing deals. Given his positive views about the executive, it's unsurprising that Cramer's recent remarks about Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:SNOW) also revolved around its CEO: 'Ramaswamy came on and raised numbers on the show, Mad Money, stock was at 140, it's going to 240. And I don't know where it goes after that. But that has a terrific AI story. Really great.' A software engineer at work, surrounded by a wall of computer monitors connected to a 'Data Cloud' platform. Here's what he said earlier about the firm: 'Oh, Snowflake…. I mean, it is just, you know, I was thinking about this, but Ramaswamy first comes in, not sure, then he takes off, and why? Because the guy is cerebral, and he's got a real good closing sense. And man, does he ever have momentum? He is project momentum.' While we acknowledge the potential of SNOW 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. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Energy Transfer LP (ET) Is Being Hurt Due To Trade Talks, Says Jim Cramer
Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) is one of the . Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) is one of the largest oil and gas midstream companies in the US. The firm stores and transports oil and gas across the US. Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET)'s shares have lost 10% year-to-date primarily due to economic uncertainty weighing down the demand for energy in the US. Cramer's remarks about the firm revolved around ethane and US trade negotiations with China. The CNBC host has regularly pointed out that ethane is a key leverage point available to the US to try to gain an advantage over China in the negotiations. In a morning appearance last month, he shared that ethylene was 'the one thing that they're panicked on in China' due to large-scale plastics production. This time around, Cramer took a slightly different tone: 'Look Rusty [Rusty Braziel, RBN Energy chairman] said last night that the US is trying to hold China hostage on ethane. Ethane's been stopped, we make a lot of ethane because of natural gas liquids. But the Chinese just switched to other countries. So the companies that are being hurt, ET is being hurt. . . .that's Energy Transfer . . . that's a lot of ethane. It's not ethane versus rare minerals. Carl, ethane is a little less rare than rare, okay.' An aerial view of an oil rig at sunrise, emphasizing the power of the natural gas transportation industry. In his previous comments about Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET), Cramer advised viewers to consider dividend yield when buying the stock: 'Yes. ET is smart. I mean, look, you buy, this is the way you buy ET, just so you know, this is a pipeline company. You, you, you buy it by the percentage yield. So it's got a 7% yield now, you buy some, 8, you buy some, 9, you buy some. That's how you buy these stocks and I'm gonna continue to pound that that's the way to do it.' While we acknowledge the potential of ET 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.

Senate nailbiter
Senate Republicans stepped up their attacks on U.S. solar and wind energy projects by quietly adding a provision to their megabill that would penalize future developments with a new tax. That new tax measure was tucked into the more than 900-page document released late Friday that also would sharply cut the tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act for solar and wind projects. Those cuts to the IRA credits were added after a late-stage push by President Donald Trump to crack down further on the incentives by requiring generation projects be placed in service by the end of 2027 to qualify. The new excise tax is another blow to the fastest-growing sources of power production in the United States, and would be a massive setback to the wind and solar energy industries since it would apply even to projects not receiving any credits. 'It's a kill shot. This new excise tax on wind and solar is designed to fully kill the industry,' said Adrian Deveny, founder and president of policy advisory firm Climate Vision, who helped craft the climate law as a former policy director for Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer. Analysts at the Rhodium Group said in an email the new tax would push up the costs of wind and solar projects by 10 to 20 percent — on top of the cost increases from losing the credits. 'Combined with the likely onerous administrative reporting burden this provision puts in place, these cost increases will lead to even lower wind and solar installations. The impacts of this tax would also flow through to consumers in the form of higher electricity rates,' Rhodium said. The provision as written appears to add an additional tax for any wind and solar project placed into service after 2027 — when its eligibility for the investment and production tax credits ends — if a certain percentage of the value of the project's components are sourced from prohibited foreign entities, like China. It would apply to all projects that began construction after June 16 of this year. The language would require wind and solar projects, even those not receiving credits, to navigate complex and potentially unworkable requirements that prohibit sourcing from foreign entities of concern — a move designed to promote domestic production and crack down on Chinese materials. In keeping with GOP support for the fossil fuel industry, the updated bill creates a new production tax credit for metallurgical coal, which is used in steelmaking.
