Stock Market Today

  • Jim Cramer Highlights Data Center Stocks as Mainstream Market Drivers
    May 3, 2026, 7:28 PM EDT. Jim Cramer of CNBC's Mad Money spotlighted the rise of data center stocks as a defining trend in today's market. He divided the market into two camps: data centers and everything else. The growth in artificial intelligence infrastructure fuels demand across sectors, including industrial, power, cooling, networking, and real estate. Companies like Quanta Services, Eaton Corp, and Vertiv Holdings benefit from soaring electricity and cooling needs. Semiconductor firms such as Teradyne and Qualcomm expand their roles, while networking giants like Cisco and Arista profit from surging data traffic. Even real estate, represented by Iron Mountain, sees gains by leasing to large-scale data operators. The S&P 500's recent climb past 7200 reflects investors backing this widespread shift toward increased computing capacity.
