Jim Cramer Says “I Want You to Buy IBM”

International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) was one of the stocks featured in Jim Cramer’s Mad Money recap, as he discussed how the AI build-out could power the economy. During the episode, a caller asked if the stock is a buy, sell, or hold. Cramer replied:

I want you to buy IBM. I do not understand why it’s all the way down here. I thought the quarter was actually really good. I think it’s been caught up with this idea that it’s got some software that people don’t like. That’s nonsensical. I think that Arvind Krishna is doing a remarkable job. And yes, I’ll give you the quantum, I’ll throw that in for free.

International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) provides software, consulting, and cloud and on-site technology solutions, along with financing to help clients use its products. Cramer called it a “terrific buy” during the April 16 episode, as he remarked:

How about the quantum stocks? I believe that one day, quantum computing will be very important, but today is not that day. Right now, the publicly traded companies are just science projects. They all talk a big game. But again, the only viable quantum businesses belong to Google, IBM, and Honeywell. I own Google for the Charitable Trust. I also think IBM’s a terrific buy here.
