Thursday, we get results from Ciena. This has been, it’s a networking player. It’s come off a lot from its highs, even though it’s up almost 150% for the year. I think Ciena’s got its own proprietary technology, and there’s more than enough room for it to grow for this one, thanks again to the data center.

Ciena Corporation (NYSE:CIEN) builds networking equipment, including optical systems, routers, and switches, and provides software to manage and automate networks. Answering a caller’s query about the stock during the April 29 episode, Cramer said:

No, don’t need to… That one got away. That was Gary. He did an incredible job. If it came back down, I mean, in fairness, it went up to $527, it’s come down to $475. But… it’s up 100% and… People talk about this Rule of 40 they love. I think up 100%’s a little bit too hot for me, so I’m going to have to hold off. Boy, I remember when I bought that thing at the end in 1999. I crushed it.
