At the time, Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:CRM) was under pressure from investors who feared the company was reverting to its old acquisition-heavy habits. Cramer tackled rumors of a $12 billion deal with Informatica and used it to highlight how investor discipline had pushed Salesforce into a more shareholder-friendly posture, saying:

“Salesforce was talking to Informatica about buying the enterprise software company for about, actually, a little over $12 billion. Some argued this potential purchase price would demonstrate a lack of discipline and they got beaten up for it. Salesforce was going back to its old ways, spending like a drunken sailor. Turns out the deal is not happening. Company’s much more disciplined than the critics thought, so the stock jumped. Salesforce could have been crushed if it bought Informatica.”

12 months later, the stock is down by 9.47%.

“[On Citi cutting MSFT price target] I know. Azure low end of the guide is bad. I know that CoPilot, you got that one man wrecking crew of Benioff [CRM CEO] coming out, trashing that all the time. Meanwhile, I had someone on my conference call yesterday, for the club, saying that they’re in the house of pain because of Salesforce. That’s been, it’s been a long time since you were in the house of pain with Salesforce.”
