AI, Data Centers, and Big Tech Are Devouring Electricity: Jim Cramer Has 4 Favorite Utility Stocks
We have covered Jim Cramer for almost 20 years here at 24/7 Wall St., and like all opinionated Wall Street stock pundit pickers, he has had more than his fair share of home runs and some swings and misses. One thing is sure: His opinions, whether good, bad, or indifferent, do not go unheard, as he has maintained one of the most prominent bully pulpits in the financial industry for years. So, with that in mind, when Cramer bellows from that bully pulpit, we listen. 24/7 Wall St. Key Points: Massive data center and AI demand is spiking electricity demand. Large-cap tech giants are making huge deals with utility stocks. Jim Cramer has been very optimistic about utilities with dependable dividends. Are dividend-paying utility stocks a good fit for you? Why not meet with a financial advisor near you for a complete portfolio review? Click here to get started today. (Sponsored) Big tech companies are increasingly partnering with utility companies to secure reliable, low-carbon energy for their power-intensive data centers, notably to support the demands of artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Five of the world’s largest technology companies have already made some significant deals: Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL) With a career that started at Goldman Sachs, from the formation of his hedge fund, Cramer Berkowitz, to his founding of The Street, which he wrote for from 1996 to 2021, to his popular Mad Money show, Jim Cramer has something in his pocket that many on Wall Street lack—access to almost everybody, regardless of their Wall Street status. As opposed to many who churn out Wall Street platitudes and stock-picking advice, Cramer at least does the homework required for the masses who see him via television or the internet to get a reasonable look at what he is covering at any given time. We asked Grok, the AI arm of X, formerly known as Twitter, to look for Cramer’s favorite utility stocks over the years. These stocks align with Cramer’s broader thesis that utilities are well-positioned for 2025 due to their steady dividends, resilience against tariffs, and increasing energy demands from AI data centers. He particularly favors stocks with yields above 2.5% and a history of dividend growth, while cautioning against yields above 8% as potential risk indicators. Some of Cramer’s top picks have already secured significant deals with major technology companies, while others are in the process of doing so. Four of Cramer’s favorite ideas are also top utility picks at 24/7 Wall St., and all are rated Buy at top Wall Street firms that we cover.

45 Barron's 2025 Mid-Year Pro-Picks: 3 Ideal July DiviDogs
I analyze Barron's Mid-Year 2025 Roundtable Pro Picks using the yield-based 'dogcatcher' method to identify high-yield, safer dividend stocks. AT&T, Tegna, and Pitney Bowes stand out as 'safer' dividend dogs, with prices below annual dividends from $1,000 invested, signaling attractive entry points. The top ten high-yield picks offer projected 24.3% average net gains by July 2026, with lower-than-market volatility, but some face negative free cash flow margins.

American Electric Power: Visible Long-Term Earnings Growth
I rate AEP a buy, driven by a generational surge in electricity demand from AI data centers and re-shoring, supporting multi-year earnings growth. AEP's demand outlook is highly visible, with over 20 GW of incremental load secured and a robust $54 billion capital investment plan through 2029.
