We recently published an article titled Was Jim Cramer Right About These 10 Stocks? In this article, we are going to take a look at where Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) stands against the other stocks Jim Cramer recently talked about.
During the latest episode of Mad Money, which aired on May 13th, Jim Cramer unpacked the extraordinary rebound in U.S. markets following President Trump’s abrupt pivot away from aggressive tariffs, declaring:
“Trillions were lost. Bulls were turned into bears. Bears were turned into meat-eating grizzlies. And money poured out of stocks. Six weeks later, it’s like the whole thing never happened.”

He emphasized how hedge funds and short-sellers were caught completely off guard, triggering one of the most dramatic reversals in recent history:
“The big money, the hedge funds, and the fast traders have been caught on the other side of the line of scrimmage, and it is costing them.”
Reflecting on Trump’s unexpected about-face—and its massive market implications—Cramer summed it up bluntly:
“The bears are paying the price while the individual investors who held on are basking in the glory of one of the greatest rallies ever, as the president ultimately made the extremely rational decision to not destroy the entire stock market.”

A viewer asked about Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) back then and whether it was a buy after recent earnings disappointments at the time. Cramer admitted past mistakes and no longer supported the stock:
“I got Oracle wrong. Two quarters in a row. I thought they were going to do it big and then they didn’t. And I felt it was wrong to continue to hold it. I sold it — sold it at a bad price. I have to defer to others who know Oracle better than I do. That’s how I like to look at it.”
Unfortunately for him, Oracle rebounded strongly, rising 39.44% over the year.
Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is a multinational technology company that provides cloud applications, database software, and enterprise IT infrastructure solutions. It appears that Cramer has changed his course on the stock. Here’s what he said when asked about it on May 2nd:
“Well, last quarter was not good. Last quarter was not good, okay, but I think the stock started to show you something today. I think it showed you that if you get a better tape and a better tech tape, you’re going to make some money in Oracle. I urge you to hold on. Would I be a buyer? Yes.”
