- However, he said the return of former CEO Stephen Hemsley in May 2025 helped restore investors confidence
- After a down day like Tuesday's session, where all three major U.S. averages fell roughly 0.6%, Cramer pointed to several high-profile examples of stocks that staged strong recoveries
- First is CrowdStrike, which saw its shares plunge in 2024 after a faulty software update disrupted millions of Microsoft systems globally
Summary
"Tailspins can be mighty nasty," Cramer said Tuesday on "Mad Money. After a down day like Tuesday's session, where all three major U.S. averages fell roughly 0.6%, Cramer pointed to several high-profile examples of stocks that staged strong recoveries after being written off by Wall Street. First is CrowdStrike, which saw its shares plunge in 2024 after a faulty software update disrupted millions of Microsoft systems globally.
