1. AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:APP)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 95

AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:APP) is a mobile app and gaming adtech company that saw explosive growth over the past year. Cramer recognized its turnaround early and told investors the stock was just starting to get noticed.

“Man, that thing is a just a monster I’ve got to tell you though it is still not effectively valued and I know this sounds crazy because it is up so I don’t want you to buy here I don’t want you to buy I don’t want you buy. […] I don’t know what your basis is maybe you want to sell half to be able to lock in some things but this thing is doing so well after contained period where it wasn’t that people are just beginning to notice it you were early my friend.”

AppLovin is up a staggering 288% since that comment, making it one of Cramer’s biggest winners of the year.

However, Jim Cramer appeared more sceptical on the stock in more recent Mad Money episodes. Here’s what he said on the 28th of March:

“AppLovin is very controversial. Okay so let me just dispel one thing. When you have Craig Billings as the CEO of Wynn, as the head of the audit committee and also the lead director of AppLovin, then I’m going to believe the financials (inaudible). Is the stock expensive? It did have a great fourth quarter. Should someone else come in and take and take away their gross margins? I would like to go into that business and take them away. That company’s making, I say, over-earning is the biggest problem I have with AppLovin.”
