Cramer pointed to the recent downturns in Meta Platforms and Shopify, saying their share price weaknesses may offer “tremendous entry points” for long‑term investors.
Both stocks have fallen sharply from recent highs Meta by about 24% and Shopify by around 46% as broader market concerns have weighed on tech and AI‑linked names.
Cramer’s pick of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) reflects his belief that the company’s heavy investments in AI and social media innovation could translate into future growth. Despite recent sell‑offs on investor fears around spending and valuation, Wall Street analysts still see meaningful upside.
The median price target for Meta suggests a potential increase in share value, supported by strong first‑quarter revenue growth and higher engagement across its Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp platforms.
For Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), Cramer highlights the company’s positioning at the forefront of e‑commerce innovation, especially through its AI‑powered solutions.
Shopify has developed tools that help merchants automate tasks, generate content, and integrate advanced technologies capabilities that could become more valuable as AI reshapes online commerce.
Like Meta, Shopify’s stock has slid amid weaker guidance and market volatility, but analysts still project sizable long‑term earnings growth.
Cramer’s recommendations reflect a broader theme in his recent commentary: that a market pullback especially in tech and AI stocks can create buying opportunities for investors with a longer horizon rather than a short‑term trading mindset.
Investors should remember that Cramer’s views are his own and that major financial commentators often spark debate among market watchers.
Relying solely on any individual’s recommendations without considering personal goals, risk tolerance, and broader research isn’t advisable.
For many people, combining multiple sources of market insight and consulting with a professional financial advisor helps build a more balanced strategy.

The conflict, which began at the end of February after U.S. and Israeli strikes inside Iran, has dragged on for more than two months and caused serious disruption to international trade and energy markets.
One of the most sensitive flashpoints has been the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which roughly 20 % of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas used to flow before the war began. Iran’s closure of the strait in retaliation for attacks has driven up global energy prices and drawn warnings from governments worldwide.
On May 14, Trump and Xi held talks that focused largely on how to stabilize the situation. According to U.S. officials, both leaders agreed on the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Trump used the summit to urge China, one of Iran’s closest economic partners and a major buyer of Iranian oil to push Tehran toward ending the conflict and respecting global trade routes.
Despite these high‑level discussions, progress toward peace has been limited. Diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire or broader settlement have stalled, with Iran demanding sanctions relief, recognition of its sovereignty, and compensation for damage caused by the war.
The United States, for its part, insists that Iran abandon its nuclear program and give up enriched uranium stockpiles. The deadlock has frustrated negotiators and extended uncertainty about how and when the war might end.
The Iran war’s ripple effects are already being felt beyond the Middle East. Rising energy costs have put pressure on consumers around the world, while shifting alliances in the Gulf have begun to reshape regional geopolitics.
The United States and China, despite their rivalry, find common cause in wanting to stabilize the situation even as deep disagreements remain about how best to achieve peace.
Analysts say Trump’s China visit highlights the limits of diplomacy in a conflict that has grown increasingly complex, involving not just regional parties but global economic and security concerns. For now, the world watches as talks remain stalled and the search for a lasting peace continues.

The planned investments will focus mainly on strategic sectors including energy, water supply, housing, and road infrastructure, all of which are considered vital drivers of the country’s economic growth and long-term development.
The details were presented during discussions between officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure and its affiliated agencies including the Rwanda Energy Group (REG), Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC), Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA), and Rwanda Transport Development Agency (RTDA) and Members of Parliament from the Parliamentary Committee on National Budget and State Property.
During the meeting, each institution outlined major projects expected to improve the welfare of citizens and accelerate national development.
The energy sector remains one of the government’s top priorities due to its crucial role in supporting economic activities and improving the quality of life for Rwandans.
Several projects are expected to be implemented during the 2026/2027 fiscal year to increase electricity generation and strengthen the country’s power supply capacity.
REG is expected to focus on 19 major projects, including ongoing initiatives that will continue until completion.
Among the flagship projects is the continued construction of the Nyabarongo II Hydropower Plant, which is expected to generate 43.5 megawatts of electricity. The project also includes a dam that will help store water and ensure stable electricity production throughout the year, while supporting irrigation activities in surrounding areas.
More than Rwf149.8 billion has been allocated to the Nyabarongo II project during the 2026/2027 fiscal year, with completion scheduled for December 2027.
The government will also continue expanding the national electricity transmission network through the Electricity Transmission Grid Expansion Project, which is funded with support from the Export-Import Bank of Korea (Exim Bank Korea). The project has been allocated Rwf15.2 billion for the upcoming fiscal year.
Additional initiatives aimed at increasing electricity access nationwide include the Accelerating Sustainable and Clean Energy Access Transformation (ASCENT) project, which will receive more than Rwf44.4 billion.
Another Rwf34.9 billion has been earmarked for strengthening the national electricity transmission grid, while Rwf1.1 billion will be invested in extending electricity access to communities in Nyamagabe and Nyaruguru districts.
The government also plans to expand the country’s strategic fuel storage infrastructure by increasing the capacity of state petroleum reserves to 60 million litres, alongside several other infrastructure projects expected to play a significant role in Rwanda’s future economic transformation.
The Nyabarongo II Hydropower Plant, currently under construction between Gakenke and Kamonyi, is expected to provide a significant solution to Rwanda’s growing energy demand.
The Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC) has announced a series of major infrastructure projects aimed at expanding access to clean water across Rwanda while reducing water losses within the distribution system.
The projects form part of the government’s broader efforts to improve public services, strengthen urban infrastructure, and ensure reliable water supply for both urban and rural communities.
In addition to constructing new water pipelines, WASAC plans to expand, rehabilitate, and modernize existing water distribution networks to meet the growing demand for clean water across the country.
Among the flagship projects is the expansion of the Nzove Water Treatment Plant, whose production capacity is expected to increase from 40,000 cubic metres per day to 65,000 cubic metres daily. The project has been allocated Rwf9.09 billion in the 2026/2027 fiscal year budget.
Another key initiative is the Kigali Bulk Water Supply Project, which has received Rwf14 billion. The project is expected to significantly improve water distribution in different parts of Kigali, particularly in Gisozi and Nyarutarama, while also supporting the expansion of the Karenge Water Treatment Plant.
WASAC is also set to construct the Mutobo Water Treatment Plant, which is expected to produce 40,000 cubic metres of water per day. According to the utility company, the project will help address persistent water shortages in the City of Musanze as well as in the districts of Burera, Nyabihu, and parts of Rubavu.
Other major projects include the Sake Water Treatment Plant and the continued construction of the Mwange Water Plant, which is expected to supply 23,000 cubic metres of water daily once completed.
In the Southern Province, the Nyaruguru-Huye-Gisagara Water Supply Project is expected to produce 24,000 cubic metres of water per day, further strengthening access to clean water in the region.
WASAC also plans to intensify efforts to reduce non-revenue water, commonly referred to as water lost through leakages, illegal connections, and inefficiencies within the distribution network.
Beyond water supply projects, the corporation is investing heavily in sanitation and hygiene infrastructure. Planned initiatives include the construction of wastewater treatment plants as well as the continued rehabilitation and management of the Nduba landfill, which has been allocated Rwf12 billion in the 2026/2027 budget.
The projects are expected to play a critical role in improving living standards, supporting economic growth, and ensuring sustainable access to clean water and sanitation services for communities across Rwanda.
The Nzove water treatment plant is among those set to have their production capacity expanded.
Rwanda to accelerate major road and housing projects in 2026/27
Rwanda is expected to implement extensive road construction and housing development projects during the 2026/2027 fiscal year as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen infrastructure and accelerate economic growth.
The projects will focus on upgrading major transport networks, improving urban mobility, expanding regional connectivity, and enhancing housing and settlement planning across the country.
Among the key road infrastructure projects planned is the rehabilitation of several major paved highways, including the 45-kilometre Kigali–Muhanga road, one of the country’s busiest transport corridors. Other roads scheduled for upgrading include the 63-kilometre Base–Butaro road, the 53-kilometre Ngoma–Ramiro road, and the 33-kilometre Kibaya–Rukira–Nasho road.
The government also plans to rehabilitate the 10-kilometre Prince House–Giporoso–Masaka road in Kigali to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion within the capital city.
Under the Kigali Urban Transport Improvement (KUTI) project, major road junctions will be constructed at Chez Lando, Gishushu, and Sonatube, areas widely known for heavy traffic congestion.
Additional road projects include the construction of the 10.1-kilometre Zindiro–Masizi–Birembo–Kami–Gasanze road and the Cyamitsingi–Bibare–Zindiro road. Other planned infrastructure works include the Sashwara–Rega–Kabuhanga road, the Busasamana–Muhato road, the Base–Butaro–Kidaho road, and the Ngoma–Nyanza road.
The government is also moving forward with the construction of the 11.6-kilometre expressway linking Kigali to Kigali International Airport. The strategic project is expected to ease transportation to and from the airport while supporting the growth of business and tourism activities.
Additional investments will target cross-border roads connecting Rwanda to neighboring countries, as well as the rehabilitation of the Nyabugogo–Jabana and Nyacyonga–Mukoto roads, alongside several other transport infrastructure projects planned nationwide.
Authorities also announced that greater emphasis will be placed on maintaining and rehabilitating existing roads to ensure durability, improve road safety, and support efficient transportation services across the country.
Beyond road infrastructure, construction works on ports along Lake Kivu will continue, while feeder roads will also be developed in different parts of the country to improve mobility and facilitate trade in rural communities.
Meanwhile, the Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA) revealed that several large-scale housing and urban development projects are planned for the 2026/2027 fiscal year. The projects will mainly focus on improving settlement planning, modern housing infrastructure, and urban development in different parts of the country, particularly in the City of Kigali.
The planned investments are expected to play a significant role in advancing Rwanda’s urbanization agenda, improving transportation systems, and enhancing the overall quality of infrastructure nationwide.

Scientists from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern California found that transplanting specialised stem cells into the brains of mice helped rebuild damaged neural connections, restore blood vessels, and improve movement and coordination after a stroke.
These promising results have raised hope that similar techniques could one day be adapted for humans.
Stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is cut off, usually by a clot or bleeding, causing brain cells to die due to lack of oxygen.
In humans this often leads to long‑term disabilities, including paralysis, speech difficulties, memory problems, and loss of motor skills, because the brain typically has very limited ability to repair itself after injury.
Current treatments focus on preventing further damage, but until now there have been no proven therapies that can truly reverse existing brain loss.
In the new study, scientists used neural progenitor cells early‑stage cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, which are adult human cells reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells.
These cells were transplanted into the brains of mice one week after a stroke, which allowed them to survive, grow, and integrate into nearby brain tissue.
Over several weeks, many of these transplanted cells matured into functioning neurons and connected with existing brain cells, helping to rebuild neural networks that had previously been lost.
What made the findings particularly exciting was that the stem cell treatment also triggered other healing responses in the brain.
The treated mice showed the growth of new blood vessels in the damaged area, reduced inflammation, and a strengthened blood‑brain barrier a protective lining that helps keep harmful substances from entering brain tissue.
Scientists tracked improvements in movement and coordination using advanced motion tracking systems, and found that the mice treated with stem cells performed significantly better than untreated animals as time went on.
While these results are compelling, the research is still in early stages, and scientists note that additional work is needed before similar therapies could be tested in humans.
Some challenges include ensuring safety, verifying long‑term effectiveness, and determining how best to deliver the cells in a clinical setting. Despite these hurdles, the study represents one of the most promising advances yet in regenerative medicine for stroke recovery.
This breakthrough shows that stem cells have real potential to rebuild damaged brain tissue after stroke, a discovery that could transform how scientists approach one of the world’s leading causes of disability.
Scientists have discovered breakthrough stem cell therapy that could reverse stroke damage in animal models.
This research highlights a warming process that has been difficult to detect but may play a surprisingly large role in how ice sheets break down in a warming world.
Unlike melting caused by rising air temperatures or surface water runoff, this warming is happening from below the ice shelves massive floating extensions of the Antarctic ice sheet that act as natural “brakes,” slowing the flow of inland ice into the sea.
What researchers have found are long channel‑like formations in the underside of ice shelves that can trap relatively warm ocean water.
Instead of warmer water flowing away, these channels hold heat close against the ice, causing faster and more efficient melting from below.
This form of heat being trapped underneath the ice means that even ice regions once thought to be relatively cold and stable may be far more vulnerable than previously believed.
In these channel systems, warm water lingers and can melt ice at rates much higher than normal locally increasing melt many times over.
If these ice shelves thin and weaken, they are less able to hold back the enormous glaciers behind them. Those glaciers could then move more quickly into the ocean, directly adding to rising sea levels.
Current climate and sea‑level models may underestimate this process, because they do not fully account for the way ocean water circulates beneath ice shelves.
The discovery suggests that global sea‑level rise predictions may need to be revised to include this deeper, hidden source of melting.
With rising ocean heat pushing deeper toward Antarctica, this hidden mechanism could make future sea‑level rise faster and more severe than scientists have forecasted in many scenarios.
The implications reach far beyond Antarctica itself. Rising sea levels pose serious threats to coastal communities worldwide, impacting infrastructure, ecosystems, freshwater supplies, and millions of people living near oceans.
Understanding these newly uncovered melting processes is therefore critical for more accurate climate projections and planning for a future in which sea level continues to rise.
Research has revealed how warm water beneath Antarctica could rapidly increase global sea levels.

Other cast members like Ted Knight, Valerie Harper, and John Amos also enjoyed fruitful careers. The Mary Tyler Moore Show made significant contributions to television, and its cast continues to be celebrated for breaking barriers and creating iconic, timeless characters.
Five decades after The Mary Tyler Moore Show first aired, the cast’s influence on television, comedy and American pop culture continues to resonate across generations.
The event held in the garden of MAGERWA Ltd, a company that provides logistics services including inland port and bonded warehousing, served as a showcase of Rwanda’s shift from a landlocked country to a “land-linked” logistics gateway, with speakers highlighting the country’s progress in trade facilitation, infrastructure development and regional integration.
AGL President and Chief Executive Officer Philippe Labonne praised Rwanda’s operating environment and the company’s journey in the country, saying the firm had grown alongside Rwanda’s development ambitions despite early challenges.
“I think there are no words to express how proud I am of my Rwanda team,” Labonne said, reflecting on the resilience of staff and the company’s expansion in the country. He also commended Rwanda’s governance framework, noting, “Rwanda is an example of how proper governance can create value.”
Labonne emphasized that AGL’s investments in logistics, technology and human capital have contributed to strengthening Rwanda’s position as a strategic hub connecting East Africa and the wider continent.
Rwanda’s Minister of Trade and Industry Prudence Sebahizi also addressed the gathering, reaffirming Rwanda’s ambition to become a leading logistics and trade centre under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
“Tonight is yet another opportunity to listen to this story of success, to listen to this story of ‘Made in Rwanda,’” he said, highlighting the importance of partnerships in driving industrial growth.
The Minister noted that Rwanda’s logistics ambitions are closely tied to regional integration, pointing to the role of companies like AGL in strengthening supply chains and trade connectivity. He added that reducing logistics costs remains a key priority for boosting competitiveness across the continent.
“We hope to see in the near future that the cost of transportation and logistics is going to reduce from 40% to probably 20%,” Sebahizi said, calling for increased investment in technology and efficiency in the sector.

In August 2023, the Minister of National Unity and Civic Engagement Dr. Jean Damascène Bizimana had revealed that the program would temporarily be hosted at Nkumba Civic Training Center in Burera District which had enough accomodations, noting that it would undergo further upgrades to fully meet the required standards.
However, on May 11, 2026, MINUBUMWE confirmed that this year’s edition of Itorero Indangamirwa will take place in Gabiro from July 1 to August 10. The ministry further announced that students from universities and higher learning institutions will also join this year’s intake.
Traditionally, the program was designated for young people aged between 18 and 25. This year, however, participation will be limited to youth between the ages of 18 and 23.
Established in 2008, Itorero Indangamirwa brings together young Rwandans living abroad, students studying in international schools operating in Rwanda, and outstanding participants who excelled in the national service program known as Rugerero.
Participants receive training aimed at instilling patriotism, discipline, cultural values, and a spirit of responsibility and leadership.
They are also taught Rwanda’s history and encouraged to share ideas on how they can contribute to the country’s development while safeguarding its achievements.
In addition, security personnel provide the youth with basic defense and military orientation through practical exercises. The training includes introductory lessons on firearm handling, basic combat planning, and military tactics.
Since 2023, Itorero Indangamirwa had been relocated to the Nkumba Civic Training Center.
Rwanda’s mountainous terrain presents unique driving challenges, and, according to Obi, hybrid vehicles are an excellent match for these conditions.
“Hybrid cars take advantage of the surroundings to give you efficiency, fuel economy, and that comfort you would get and that power you would get in a diesel engine,” he explains.
Hybrids utilise both a gasoline engine and electric motors. The electric motors provide instant torque, assisting with hill climbs, much like a turbocharger in a diesel engine, but in a cleaner, more efficient way.
Obi points out that a major challenge with hybrid vehicles in Rwanda is a lack of understanding about their systems. One common misconception is that hybrid cars can automatically switch to electric power when they run out of gasoline.
“This is not the case for hybrid vehicles. It needs the engine to work, and if there’s no fuel in the car, the engine will not operate,” he warns.
This misunderstanding often leads to damage to the battery, which can be costly to replace.
Using the popular Toyota Prius as an example, Obi explains that the battery pack consists of 28 pieces of batteries, each costing Rwf 90,000. Without preventive maintenance, which costs about Rwf 150,000, Rwandan owners risk spending over Rwf 2 million on replacement batteries.
Rwanda’s mountainous terrain presents unique driving challenges, and, according to Obi, hybrid vehicles are an excellent match for these conditions.
When comparing hybrid vehicles to electric ones, Obi is clear about which technology he prefers for the Rwandan context: “If you want to put it in comparison… I would still pick hybrid cars.”
He points out several advantages that hybrid cars offer over EVs in Rwanda:
Minimal infrastructure requirements: Rwanda’s improving road network is already sufficient for hybrid vehicles.
Excellent fuel efficiency: Many hybrid drivers report impressive mileage when the car is driven properly.
No range anxiety: Hybrid cars provide the convenience of long-distance travel without worrying about finding charging stations in remote areas.
Immediate environmental benefits: With lower emissions, hybrid cars contribute to cleaner air.
While electric vehicles show great promise, Obi acknowledges that the sector still faces logistical hurdles.
“Electric cars have few public charging stations for now… range anxiety is an issue,” he says.
However, the landscape is shifting rapidly. As of early 2026, Kigali has established itself as the country’s e-mobility hub with approximately 200 charging points, comprising roughly 35 dedicated car stations and 165 battery-swapping points for electric motorcycles.
While urban access is growing, rural areas and remote provinces still see limited density, with only about 24 public car-charging stations currently operating outside the capital.
To bridge this gap, the government’s National E-Mobility Plan has used geospatial mapping to identify 226 potential sites across the country, aiming to ensure that no driver is ever more than 50 kilometers from a charger.
Despite these challenges, Obi remains hopeful about future developments. He notes that Rwanda’s aggressive efforts in power generation, including diversifying the energy mix with solar and hydro projects, will significantly improve the outlook for sustainable transport in the coming years.
For hybrid vehicles, one of the main barriers to adoption in Rwanda is the availability of spare parts and the quality of repairs. Obi stresses that many mechanics rely on online tutorials for repairs, which can be risky and ineffective.
“Every car has a different genesis on how the issue came to be,” Obi explains, highlighting the importance of professional diagnostics for proper repairs.
As for electric vehicles, the priority lies in expanding Rwanda’s power grid and building a reliable charging network. Obi is optimistic about Rwanda’s future, stating, “Rwanda is far ahead… the country is already there when it comes to infrastructural development.”
Embrace green mobility with hybrid vehicles that offer both power and environmental benefits.
Obi encourages Rwandans to embrace greener mobility, stating, “Embrace green earth. Assist the government in playing your role in promoting a green earth.”
He also advises hybrid vehicle owners to maintain their vehicles properly. “Hybrid vehicles do not require high maintenance costs if you commit to preventative care.”

This decision follows Iran’s submission of a counterproposal, which U.S. officials deemed “unacceptable.” The U.S. stance has intensified the growing tension between the two nations, each holding firm on key demands.
Iran’s counterproposal, presented through intermediaries, outlined several terms, including the lifting of U.S. sanctions, an end to military operations across the region, and a shared control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
These demands were meant to ensure Iran’s security while reopening vital oil trade routes. However, the U.S. rejected these terms, as they failed to address key issues such as Iran’s nuclear program and its military presence in neighboring countries.
President Trump made the rejection public, stating on social media that Iran’s response was “totally unacceptable.” He underscored that any peace deal must align with U.S. interests, particularly in limiting Iran’s nuclear capabilities and curbing its influence in the region. The President’s firm rejection has cast doubts on the prospects of reaching a peaceful resolution in the near future.
The decision to reject Iran’s response has broader consequences, particularly for global oil markets. The ongoing tensions and the potential for extended conflict have led to sharp rises in oil prices, with concerns about the stability of the Strait of Hormuz an essential shipping route for global oil exports. The disruptions in this region could have far-reaching effects on global energy security.
Despite this setback, diplomatic channels remain open. Future talks between U.S. and Chinese leaders are expected to address not only trade but also Iran’s situation, with China holding a significant interest due to its trade relationships with Tehran.
However, experts warn that without concessions from both sides, the conflict could continue to drag on, with severe humanitarian and economic costs for the region and beyond.
As the U.S. and Iran stand at an impasse, the world watches closely, hoping that future negotiations will lead to a more sustainable peace agreement that addresses the core concerns of all parties involved.
President Donald Trump has dismissed Iran’s reply to the peace proposal as unacceptable, sending oil prices higher.
