Summary
- Entergy Corporation's stock has gained 17.8% year-to-date
- Cramer suggests Entergy as a solution for AI's growing power needs
- Entergy's domestic US exposure insulates it from tariff impacts
As of August 21st, 2025, Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR), an American electricity retailer, has seen its stock gain 17.8% year-to-date. The company, which generates electricity through nuclear, gas, and other power sources, has been a focus of discussion by Jim Cramer, the well-known financial commentator.
Cramer recently highlighted Entergy as a potential solution to the growing power demands of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. He suggested that by relying on Entergy's nuclear power capabilities in Louisiana, the energy needs of AI could be effectively addressed. This comes as AI continues to drive increased power consumption, a trend that Entergy appears well-positioned to capitalize on.
Furthermore, Entergy's strong performance this year has been attributed to its domestic US exposure, which has insulated the firm from the potential impact of tariffs on its business. This has made Entergy a "safe haven" stock, according to Cramer's previous comments, as the company's American focus has shielded it from global trade uncertainties.
