The Return Of The Cramer Curse?
Monday afternoon, Cramer posted a selfie standing in front of the Vertiv logo. He captioned the post with “undervalued.” Although the stock is trading higher, investors may be feeling uneasy.
The post is notable because it runs counter to the meme that Cramer’s picks tend to underperform, known as the “Cramer Curse.” That idea became so widespread that an ETF, known as the Inverse Cramer Tracker ETF (SJIM), was created to bet against stocks Cramer likes and buy stocks he criticizes.
Why Cramer May See Vertiv As Undervalued
Cramer’s “undervalued” label comes at a time when Vertiv is benefiting from explosive demand for data‑center infrastructure tied to artificial‑intelligence workloads. The company supplies essential power, cooling and IT‑infrastructure systems for data centers, a market that has been expanding rapidly as cloud providers and hyperscalers race to build capacity for AI training and inference.
Vertiv Stock Trades Above Key Levels
Vertiv is trading 4.9% above its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 37.1% above its 100-day SMA, showing the uptrend is still intact even after a big run. Shares are up 197.37% over the past 12 months and are positioned closer to their 52-week highs than lows within the $53.60 to $276.78 range.
RSI is at 60.63, which sits in neutral territory but with a bullish tilt given it’s above 50. Meanwhile, MACD is at 14.4643 versus a signal line of 15.6803, with a -1.2160 histogram, pointing to momentum leaning toward consolidation rather than acceleration.
RSI in the 50–70 range with bearish MACD indicates momentum leaning bearish, but still within a broader uptrend.

- Momentum: Bullish (Score: 97.72) — The stock is outperforming the broader market, consistent with its strong trend and proximity to recent highs.
- Quality: Bullish (Score: 98.46) — The score suggests strong underlying business/financial characteristics relative to the market.
