Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is exiting its position in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) due to concerns about the company's ability to compete in the custom AI chip market. The Trust is also buying shares of Constellation Brands (STZ).

With our thesis changed, we'll move on from the rest of this position and realize an average loss of about 15% on stock purchased from August to November. Broadcom and Nvidia are also Club names.
