We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Answers If the Market Has Bottomed and Weighs In On 11 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

On Monday, Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, highlighted how the market has turned upside down, with investors now buying stocks that they used to dislike, saying:

“If you told me this is where the market was headed two or three months ago, I would have thought you were insane, even crazier than I am. This radical transition over the past few weeks has just been frankly unfathomable. We’re now buying stocks we hated and we’re despising, and guess what we are now selling short the stocks that we used to worship. And it’s all happening on the fly. […] You can’t tell what’s underneath though but that makes it much easier for those real seekers who want to surf the Trump ‘stock wave’.”

Cramer centered the episode around the question on every investor’s mind: has the market finally bottomed?

“Fresh off a turbulent week for the tape, I’m opening up the phone lines and answering your most pressing questions because are we at a bottom? That’s what everybody wants to know. […] Well, the tariff exemptions, it looks like they’re coming. Market was eager to take a sigh of relief. I’m not so sure where we are with them, but the major indices jumped higher on President Trump’s announcement of temporary exemption on tariffs for phones computers and semiconductors, and really, I guess the subtext is for Apple. But in a tape this volatile we have headlines dropping left and right, I’ve got to tell you, I spend so much time trying to figure out what’s going on, but I think that periodically I nail it. So tonight what I want to do is open up our phone lines to hear directly from you, from the people of America.”

Our Methodology

For this article, we compiled a list of 11 stocks that were discussed by Jim Cramer during the episode of Mad Money aired on April 14. We listed the stocks in the order that Cramer mentioned them. We also provided hedge fund sentiment for each stock as of the fourth quarter of 2024, which was taken from Insider Monkey’s database of over 1,000 hedge funds.

Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 105

A caller asked Cramer whether it was still worth holding Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) due to all the uncertainty around the data center market and the TikTok deal. Cramer reassured them that Oracle remains a solid long-term investment and emphasized the company’s strong positioning. Here’s his reply:

“Okay I want you to buy more, I want you to buy more. I think that they’re doing a lot of great things. I’m not as concerned about what’s going to happen with the data centers. I am not concerned about what’s going to happen with Oracle and they are very much in charge of their own destiny. I think Safra A. Catz is terrific. I would buy the stock.”

In a recent episode from April, Cramer discussed the struggles that enterprise software businesses are facing, using Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) as an example. He said:

“Oracle and Salesforce peaked back in December; they’re now down almost 30% from their highs. […] The Department of Defence said it would cancel an Oracle contract to modernize the Pentagon’s HR system. There’s some hope that Oracle could recover the contract, but that could be roughly $100 million in annual recurring revenue down the drain. Sure, that’s a rounding error for Oracle, a company that’s expected to bring in more than $57 billion in revenue this year, but it’s a warning sign for the industry.”

Overall, ORCL ranks 10th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of ORCL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than ORCL but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.
