We recently published 14 Stocks Jim Cramer Discussed Including His 2 Top Quantum Computing Stocks. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

Cramer has discussed International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) frequently in 2025. In his earlier comments, Cramer has called the firm one of the “most reliable companies,” and he defended it in July after the stock dipped following the firm’s second-quarter earnings report. Cramer remarked he wasn’t “sure” how the stock could react so negatively to a software business slowdown and commented later that the firm had a major opportunity in quantum computing. In fact, the CNBC TV host believes that International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is one of the leaders in quantum computing. He has discussed the firm with respect to the emerging technology several times this year. Despite being critical of quantum computing at the year’s start, Cramer remarked in August that “I think quantum really matters.” This time, he reiterated his optimism about quantum computing and led the conversation with International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM):

“Yes I am because I do ultimately believe in quantum but I believe in quantum first of all, with IBM. . .”

“Okay, I didn’t think IBM’s quarter… was all that bad at all. I think you have a major opportunity down here because I think that we’re going to start talking about IBM and quantum. I think they have the lead in quantum, and I think quantum really does matter. They have a great software package. They’re doing so many things that are good. Against that, let me tell you what’s really going on. The chart’s bad, and people are saying it’s a head and shoulders. Now, you and I both know there comes a time when you have to step in if the fundamentals are right, and I think we’re there, okay.”
