Data analytics firm Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) is a regular feature of Cramer’s morning show. He has continued to appreciate the firm’s performance, which isn’t surprising given that Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR)’s shares have gained a whopping 108% year-to-date. However, the shares have lost 2.5% over the past month as they fail to recover from a short seller report that questioned Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR)’s valuation in the context of OpenAI’s valuation. Here are Cramer’s recent thoughts about the firm:

“No wait a second, that was a program. It was, listed before, it’s not something new. I have been, I think that Alex Karp is, as I’ve indicated, the smartest person ever lived.”

“Well I am just saying, there’s all the stocks I’ve ever seen, and then there’s Palantir. There’s all the CEOs I’ve ever seen, and then there’s Karp.

“It’s going back to 200. . .what was Aristotle’s Rule of 40?”

Previously, Cramer discussed short seller Citron Research’s report about Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR):

“[On a Citron piece] David, Palantir? You want to get in the way of that juggernaut? The only people who short that . . .and they don’t even know. One guy called me and he goes, listen man, I’m shorting this stock, I don’t know if you know it. Plantir! Plantir!

“And yet we all know people who work at Palantir and they are geniuses. . . they are hardworking. And, you know they believe in ontology, it’s an ontological place. I’m not an ontologist myself, but I do think that having read and studied Alex Karp, I don’t want to take the other side of the trade. I think the guy is a serious competitor.”
