We recently published a list of 10 Jim Cramer Stocks to Watch as US-China Prepare to Begin Talks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE:UNP) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.

The optimism over US-China trade talks is increasing as the US Treasury Secretary is set to meet China’s trade negotiator in Switzerland later this week.

In a latest program on CNBC, Jim Cramer expressed his renewed optimism for major tech stocks and said the negative market sentiment about these companies was weakened after the latest quarterly reports.

“Sometimes you forget why you ever liked something in the first place. Take the super stocks, the hyperscalers, the tech titans—I don’t care whatever you want to call them. These stocks all got lumped together because of their size, their gigantic market caps that dwarf the rest of the market, and then they lost their juice,” Cramer said. “It’s their scale, their smarts, their moats, their balance sheets, and their sensational products.”

Jim Cramer also talked about the latest data in company reports that shows the demand for data centers remains strong.
