Was Jim Cramer Right About These 12 Stocks?

1. Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 79

Back in 2024, on May 16, a caller on the Mad Money show asked about Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN), which had dropped 20% post-earnings at the time. Cramer acknowledged the weak sentiment but suggested better options while still supporting Accenture:

“Boy, I’ll tell you — I saw the downgrade yesterday too, and I couldn’t believe all the way down here they downgraded. And I was thinking maybe it’s Kindryl picking up the slack, maybe it’s IBM. But I’m with you — I think Accenture’s too low. But Professor, I think SAP is better. And I like ServiceNow more too.”

Although the stock did climb initially, it fell back down to what it was back then, overall up 3.15% since.

Accenture plc (NYSE:ACN) is trying to rediscover its AI positioning but has struggled to regain sustained investor enthusiasm since its correction. Cramer refrained from recommending it lately. When asked about it in April, Cramer said this:

“Accenture got, apparently, the way that people are looking at Accenture is that Accenture’s being hurt by the DOGE crowd, and if that’s the case, you can’t go against DOGE. It’s, I’ll tell you the truth, it’s better to buy Palantir.”
