Cramer's Advice For Nvidia Makes Even More Sense Now As Stock Drops As Board Investigates CEO

Key Points:

• Jim Cramer has urged Nvidia to conduct a massive stock buyback, calling it potentially the best investment the company could make, especially given the recent stock price decline to around $175.90 from $186.64.
• Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his admitted infidelity and concerns involving a former Nvidia customer executive linked to China’s Ministry of State Security, though no evidence of compromised secrets has been found.
• Despite the stock drop, Nvidia has already repurchased nearly $40 billion in fiscal 2027 and has an authorized buyback capacity of $235 billion through fiscal 2028, but Cramer advocates for an even larger $500 billion buyback program.
• Some analysts believe Nvidia’s earnings growth alone could drive the stock price to $400 within 18 months without buybacks, citing strong revenue guidance and a relatively moderate forward earnings multiple.
• Key upcoming events for investors include Nvidia’s expected Q3 earnings release on November 17 and a potential congressional briefing on November 18 related to the ongoing CEO investigation and national security concerns.
