Cramer's Lightning Round: CrowdStrike is 'terrific' for the long term
Alaska Air: "It's really well-run, so don't take this the wrong way, but the airlines are wrong to own right here because people think we're going into a travel recession. I think it can still go lower."
Kimberly-Clark: "...They did not make the quarter. I was a little bummed out. Let's wait 'til it goes lower."
CrowdStrike: "I think for the long term, it's terrific. We had to take some profits the other day, too, because it just got too big."
Dillard's: "...You're going to be struggling to make money in an other retailer other than Costco. I don't think Dillard's is a place to be."
Nextracker: "This is technology all made in America. So. I think you're ok. Not great, not bad."

Jim Cramer says IPOs to come from speculative names in space, quantum computing and nuclear power
CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday reviewed three sectors where highly-speculative names are gaining traction: space, quantum computing and nuclear power. "I've tried to be skeptical of these three red-hot areas, but as I told you last week, once the thing really takes off, you can't be a scold," he said. "The market's saying, listen, these companies can raise some money, and I think we'll see scores more coming public." This market is "engulfed in the kind of extreme speculation we have not seen in years, arguably since the nineties," Cramer said. While the averages headed lower on Wednesday, Cramer said the stocks of many companies that make no money and have little revenues are heating up. Quantum computing stocks have seen a boost thanks to Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Cramer said. The CEO said at a conference on Wednesday that quantum computing is "reaching an inflection point," suggesting it will be useful in the coming years. Quantum computing is a rapidly-developing area of computer science that uses quantum mechanics to solve problems too complex for traditional binary computers. The bullish sentiment marks a change for Huang, who had previously indicated quantum computers could be put to real-life use in 15 to 20 years. Cramer said it's easy to make a speculative pitch for quantum computing because it's so opaque. However, it's also hard to figure out which companies are the best because they have poor financials. He named some of the popular players in the space, including Rigetti Computing, IONQ, D-Wave Quantum and Quantum Computing. Investors are also transfixed by nuclear power, Cramer said, as energy-guzzling data centers continue to spring up. Many hyperscalers prefer to use nuclear power because it is a relatively clean option, he added. Some on Wall street are bullish on power plant developer Oklo, even as the company loses money, Cramer said. Oklo is favored to build a power plant for the U.S., and it has plans to streamline processes, he said. He also said investors are excited about space and defense stocks like Voyager Technologies, whose shares soared after its upsized market debut on Wednesday. According to Cramer, a wave of IPOs from these sectors is on the way, and it could rival or even exceed the boom of 2021 because the companies feel more substantive than some of the SPACs back then. "As long as people are willing to pay up for the companies with no earnings and little revenue, these deals will keep coming and coming and coming," he said. "And the stocks will keep taking more money away from the mainstream companies like Nvidia that really make up the averages."

Someone needs that technology, someone's going to pay for it." NuScale Power: "...If it does an offering here, that's when I'd buy.

Jim Cramer says it's time for the U.S. to negotiate with other countries for rare earth minerals
CNBC's Jim Cramer on Wednesday said it's necessary for the U.S. to negotiate with countries other than China for rare earth minerals. "We need to make these rare earth deals with the same alacrity that the White House gave out the reciprocal tariffs on 'liberation day.' We need them yesterday," he said. "Then, and only then, will we truly be liberated." China dominates the global market for these critical minerals, producing about 60% and processing almost 90%, CNBC reported. The materials are used in most electronics and are vital to the automotive and defense industries. Officials have warned that the U.S.'s dependence on China for the minerals poses a strategic issue. China imposed export restrictions on rare earth minerals back in April in response to President Donald Trump's harsh tariff hikes. Trump said on Wednesday that China will supply the minerals up front to the U.S. as part of a trade agreement. While he posted on Truth Social that the deal is "done," he also said it's "subject to final approval" between himself and Chinese President Xi Jinping. According to Cramer, the U.S. needs to reach out to countries like Brazil, Vietnam and Australia, who have the raw materials for earth minerals and magnets. The U.S. should make deals with these countries immediately and perhaps wave the high tariffs that the White House put on their imports, he said. Cramer said the U.S. doesn't "have the cards," in negotiations with China because of its reliance on rare earth minerals, even as it tries to disrupt China's manufacturing economy. "What the heck were we thinking when we started a trade war without having this rare earths issue all buttoned up and ready to go?" he asked.
