Cramer distrusts enterprise software amid AI risk.
Cramer warns it could be worse if you own enterprise software names like Salesforce, ServiceNow, Adobe, Workday and Atlassian. He says their P/E multiples are shrinking as nervous holders fear generative AI platforms will make them obsolete, and he has come not to trust the software companies because Anthropic-like tools can create rival products for a fraction of the cost.

Storage plays are going higher.
Cramer says money is pouring out of enterprise software and into storage, and he thinks the storage plays are going higher. He frames the software weakness as a psychological, anticipatory selloff even though no enterprise software company has missed estimates, implying storage is the beneficiary of that rotation.

Stick with Magnificent Seven; money will return.
Cramer is not abandoning the Magnificent Seven and is sticking with them. He owns a lot for his charitable trust and expects money to ultimately flow back to most of the Seven, not just Alphabet, because these companies have too many levers, too much money, and are run by people too smart to bet against.
