<p>Lee JacksonJuly 8, 2025 at 7:23 AM</p>
<p>We have covered Jim Cramer for almost 20 years here at 24/7 Wall St., and like all opinionated Wall Street stock pundit pickers, he has had more than his fair share of home runs and some swings and misses. One thing is sure: His opinions, whether good, bad, or indifferent, do not go unheard, as he has maintained one of the most prominent bully pulpits in the financial industry for years. So, with that in mind, when Cramer bellows from that bully pulpit, we listen.</p>

<p>With a career that started at Goldman Sachs, from the formation of his hedge fund, Cramer Berkowitz, to his founding of The Street, which he wrote for from 1996 to 2021, to his popular Mad Money show, Jim Cramer has something in his pocket that many on Wall Street don't have—access to almost everybody, regardless of their Wall Street status. As opposed to many who churn out Wall Street platitudes and stock-picking advice, Jim Cramer at least does the homework required for the masses who see him via television or the internet to get a reasonable look at what he is covering at any given time.</p>
<p>We asked GROK, the Artificial Intelligence arm of X formerly known as Twitter, to look for Cramer's favorite ultra-high-yield stocks, and here's GROK's commentary:</p>
<p>Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC's Mad Money, has frequently highlighted high-yield dividend stocks, particularly those he refers to as "accidental high-yielders"—stocks with elevated yields due to market conditions rather than unsustainable payouts. Based on recent analyses of his recommendations, here are some of his favorite high-yield dividend stocks, along with their yields and details, drawn from publicly available sources. Note that Cramer often emphasizes stocks with yields above 2.5% and a history of dividend growth, while cautioning against yields above 8% as potential red flags for risk.</p>
