We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Is Talking About These 10 Stocks Heading Into December. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Sempra (NYSE:SRE) stands against other stocks Jim Cramer is talking about as heading into December.
Jim Cramer in a recent program talked about President-elect Donald Trump’s Treasury pick and highlighted his enthusiasm for the stock market.
“On the other hand, President Trump was all about Nielsen ratings when he was on The Apprentice, and as president, he repeatedly said, The Dow Jones Industrial Average all-time high, and the S&P 500 were his new Nielsen ratings. He likes being rated, he likes to win, and he wants that stock market to go up to ratify his performance. That’s a big reason why the market exploded higher when he won.”
Cramer also discussed Trump’s Treasury pick Scott Bessent’s possible 3-3-3 plan that calls for bringing the budget deficit down to 3% of GDP, 3% growth and producing 3 million barrels of oil per day.
Jim Cramer said he is skeptical about Elon Musk’s efficiency plans in the upcoming Trump administration.
“Can there be a legitimate top-to-bottom change in the efficiency of our government and its associated costs? Count me as a skeptic about any attempt to change the government, including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Doge thing, because every penny of spending in the budget has a constituency. When you add all those proposed cutbacks together, you face tremendous opposition. But that’s not the point. What matters is that this Treasury Secretary-designate is a serious person.”

While talking about energy stocks that can benefit under the upcoming Trump administration, Jim Cramer named Sempra (NYSE:SRE) and said:
“I also like Sempra, which is a more diversified power company but has plenty of natural gas exposure through regulated gas utilities in California and a big natural gas pipeline network that helps bring gas to Mexico. Can you believe that? They need our natural gas after being so big in it, but they haven’t done any of the infrastructure. It’s also got a growing portfolio of LNG export facilities in both the U.S. and Mexico. This is another name that’s broken out since the election, straight up, actually also up 15%. Now, I would be a little more cautious and wait for it to come down.”
