We're exiting our position in an AI chipmaker to lock in big gains

We are exiting our position in Arm Holdings , selling our remaining 118 shares at roughly $303.46. Following Wednesday's trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will no longer own a position in ARM. We're using the bounce in the artificial intelligence and semiconductor group on Wednesday to sell the rest of our small position in chip designer Arm Holdings. We missed selling Arm in the upper $300s and low $400s in late June, but this sale will still capture a very strong gain of about 75% on stock purchased in April. Our reasoning here is that we simply do not want to give this fantastic gain back. The AI buildout trade has turned shaky in recent weeks as the market worries that orders and backlogs may be nearing a peak. We aren't in that camp, but it's something to be mindful of. A bigger issue is the continued flood of supply â both bond sales and equity offerings â which forces investors to sell to buy something else. This has been a concern of ours since the SpaceX IPO in June. Our last consideration is our recent purchases of Intel . The iconic American chipmaker also benefits from the agentic AI-driven renaissance for central processing units (CPUs), which is shifting the ratio of CPUs to graphics processing units (GPUs) in AI servers. This sale will reduce our portfolio's overlap to the same thesis. One final note: As Arm leaves the portfolio, we'll move it to the Bullpen watchlist and continue to keep a close eye on it. We could get more interested in the stock again if it were to fall back to its May levels in the low $200s without any deterioration in the long-term outlook.
