Tue May 06 20:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Jim Cramer’s Trade Desk Prediction Misses the Mark: AI Stock Underperforms
**NEW YORK, May 1, 2025** – Financial commentator Jim Cramer’s bullish prediction for The Trade Desk (TTD) has not materialized, with the stock experiencing a significant decline of 35.30% over the past year. This contrasts sharply with his April 2024 assessment, where he praised the company’s strategy and CEO, Jeff Green, recommending holding or buying the stock below $80.
While Cramer maintained his optimism in a later April appearance, suggesting a potential buy-in at $57, the stock’s performance continues to lag. This analysis follows a recent Insider Monkey report examining the performance of 12 stocks Cramer discussed on Mad Money in April 2024.
The report, which tracked stock performance from April 30, 2024, to April 29, 2025, also analyzed hedge fund sentiment. The broader context of the report included Cramer’s commentary on the AI sector’s volatility following the emergence of Chinese AI firm DeepSeek in January 2024. While the initial market panic subsided, geopolitical factors, including US export restrictions on AI chips to China, impacted some companies. Cramer argued that despite these challenges, the underlying demand for AI technology remained strong.
Although the report highlights TTD’s ranking among the stocks Cramer discussed, Insider Monkey suggests other AI stocks may present more promising investment opportunities, particularly those trading at lower price-to-earnings ratios. The full report, including details on these alternative AI stocks, is available on Insider Monkey’s website.
