Jim Cramer on Agilent Technologies: “I Don’t Think You Need It”

Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) is one of the stocks on which Jim Cramer expressed his thoughts. A caller asked if the stock will ever come back, and here’s what Cramer had to say in response:

You know, they do so much test and measurement that is biotech. It’s almost like a Danaher, which stopped working. Danaher, Agilent, I don’t think you need it.

Agilent Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:A) provides instruments, software, and services for life sciences, diagnostics, and chemical analysis, including chromatography, spectroscopy, genomics, and laboratory automation solutions. Cramer discussed the pre- and post-COVID performance of the stock during the December 1, 2025, as he said:

Last week, just before Thanksgiving, I got the chance to speak with Agilent Technologies. That’s an arms dealer to the life sciences industry. A long time ago, this stock, known as letter A for its stock symbol, was a great growth vehicle. In the decade before COVID, Agilent’s chart was just a thing of beauty. Then, when the pandemic got rolling, the stock roared even higher, and ever since the pandemic receded, things got choppy for this one but also for the entire industry. The life sciences companies had all the equipment they needed, so the whole group spent years in the dog house.

While we acknowledge the risk and potential of A 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.
