Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/16/26 · 2026-09-16We were supposed to be in the golden era of mergers and acquisitions, weren't we? Client regulators, so far, have little show for it. Question is why? First, just because the federal regulators are on board, that doesn't mean the states are. 12 states' attorney general are suing to block that Paramount-Warner Brothers deal. It's not clear what would appease them, but they're holding up an $81 billion transaction, not including debt. Second, Wall Street isn't exactly lapping these deals up. When we learned that Solstice Advanced Materials was buying Element Solutions for $14.5 billion in cash and stock recently, the deal fell apart. Shareholders hated it. Solstice saw its stock crushed. 7 weeks later, they canceled the merger. Stocks came roaring— the stock came roaring back. Finally, the feds have shown no sign that they're eager to block bank deals where there could be hundreds of mergers to consolidate a very unconsolidated industry. They quickly bust the biggest deal, Santander's $12.3 billion purchase of Webster. That's terrific. Bank headquarters in Stamford, 95 branches in Connecticut, 76 in New York, and 18 in Massachusetts. This deal could increase competition in these areas. But more importantly, it was seen as the beginning of a new wave of bank mergers. So far, that hasn't happened. Of course, look, this year hasn't been a bust for M&A. It's, it's well ahead of last year, more than $1.1 trillion of transactions. But many of the biggest deals have yet to close, including next year, Dominion and Fox Group. More important, I'm not hearing anything new in the works right now. None of this would matter if interest rates were as low as they used to be. But when you get a 5.2% return for a 30-year piece of paper, it's almost risk-free. That represents serious competition in the stock market. And with the new— next data center equity deal always just a few feet away. I don't know about you. I'm growing weary of all this new stock. It's something you need to watch because, as I always say, nothing stops a bull. Like too much new stock supply and not enough spare cash to handle it. Like I said, there's always a bull market somewhere. I promise you I'll find it. Just for you here on Mad Money. I'm Jim Cramer. See you tomorrow.
Jim Cramer · Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer · 'Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/8/26 · 2026-09-08So there's a number of people in your piece that were very frustrated. You spoke to someone named Vicki who said that Dominion Energy was planning on just building a giant transmission line in her backyard. She's had the home for multiple generations. What was she trying to do to get them to stop that from happening?
David Mell · The Vergecast · What’s happening with US data centers? · 2026-09-02Vicki Hu was involved in the development of the community that she now lives in. So she's really been in this area for a long time. I got to visit her backyard. It's, you know, big, beautiful backyard. And she had all of these trees that were tagged with these pink ribbons. Um, that were meant to indicate where she says Dominion Energy would have to cut down in order to build this transmission line. And the idea was that Dominion had to build this transmission line to connect these two substations in order to just have enough, uh, energy to power all of the needs that it has now. So I think that's what I'm saying when I say that It's really just becoming impossible to ignore, and the capacity is just nearing its limits.
