In this piece, we will look at the stocks Jim Cramer discussed.
In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer discussed the enterprise software market and IPOs. He discussed private equity enterprise software firm Thoma Bravo and added that the current climate made public listings of enterprise software firms quite difficult:
“Look, I was making a little joke about Bravo, but Thoma Bravo . . .these companies have a huge [inaudible]. And I think that what matters is not so much what Mark said. I get that. But that their growth depends on them being able to bring these public again. And I think that the appetite for enterprise software is kind of, I’d say, well, it depends. . .but I do think that we should be thinking, why would you want to be in a company that can’t grow by doing IPOs?”
