8 receipts
2022
1 prediction- Oct 27, 2022Missed it.“Meta is no longer investable. ... I trusted this management team. That was ill-advised.”
Cramer declared Meta uninvestable at ~$97/share in Oct 2022. Stock then ran from ~$90 to over $700 by 2024 — one of the great recoveries of the decade. Inverse-Cramer at its purest.
2019
2 predictions- Jun 7, 2019Called it.“He suggested that the company could create a bundle for its services, with a price range of $15 to $20 being particularly appealing. ... Management anticipates that by 2024, Disney+ could attract around 90 million subscribers, ESPN+ might gain up to 12 million, and Hulu could reach approximately 60 million subscribers.”
Disney launched a streaming bundle in the price range Cramer highlighted, and Disney+ surpassed its lower-bound 2024 subscriber target of 60 million by August 2020, well ahead of schedule.
- Jan 25, 2019Called it.“In the end, when it comes to the streaming wars, I think content is king and Disney has great content. The stock’s still cheap, selling for 15 times earnings… I would be a buyer ahead of what I expect to be a very bullish analyst meeting in April. ... We’ve seen a ton of new entrants in the streaming space, so if you want to invest in the OTT revolution, I say wait for a pullback in Netflix or buy some Disney ahead of that crucial April analyst meeting.”
Cramer's call for Disney and Netflix to be central winners in the streaming boom was validated by rapid Disney+ growth, Netflix's continued strength, and strong investor focus on both companies as leaders in streaming/media-tech.
2018
2 predictions- Oct 17, 2018Called it.“You would have to say the rumors of FAANG’s death are greatly exaggerated, and Amazon’s three businesses — retail, web services and advertising — are doing well, he said.”
Amazon's retail, AWS, and advertising businesses all continued significant growth and cemented their market leadership, confirming Cramer's assessment that they were 'doing well' and FAANG's demise was overstated.
- Mar 16, 2018Called it.“My take? Betting against Netflix has always been a huge mistake.”
Netflix continued strong growth through 2018-2020, remaining a central player in streaming with significant long-term returns, supporting Cramer's view that betting against its content model was a mistake.
2017
1 prediction- Aug 7, 2017Called it.“Jim Cramer expands on his assertion that the high-growth tech stocks of 2017 are nothing like the dotcom bubble of 2000.”
FAANG companies remained dominant, profitable firms from 2017 through the early 2020s, experiencing volatility but no collapse comparable to the 2000 dot-com bust, validating Cramer's distinction.
2015
1 prediction- Jun 24, 2015Called it.“Nonetheless, Cramer remains optimistic about Netflix's long-term outlook. ... Ultimately, with an increase in retail investor ownership, Cramer envisions a future where Netflix behaves more like a conventional stock, rather than a plaything for affluent hedge fund managers.”
Netflix achieved significant long-term growth and became a widely held large-cap stock, aligning with Cramer's optimistic long-term view and his prediction of it becoming a 'conventional stock' with broader ownership.
2008
1 prediction- Mar 11, 2008Missed it.“Bear Stearns is fine! Do not take your money out. ... Bear Stearns is not in trouble.”
Cramer told a viewer on March 11, 2008 that Bear Stearns was fine. Five days later JPMorgan acquired Bear for $2/share in a Fed-backed fire sale. Iconic bad call.
