Was Jim Cramer Right About Yelp Inc. (YELP)?
In that older episode, a caller wondered whether Yelp Inc. (NYSE:YELP) could benefit from the AI trend by monetizing its extensive archive of user-generated reviews, much like Reddit or Getty Images had begun to do. Cramer pushed back on the idea at the time, voicing doubts about Yelp's ability to capitalize on such a model. He replied with:
'But they don't have earnings momentum and I don't want to key on that by the way… Getty Images… it's not been a good run there either… I've got to be very careful about what I think can do better and not from AI and I'm going to say that Yelp's in the not category.'
Cramer was right to be skeptical as the stock only gained +1.99%.

Overall, YELP ranks 10th on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.
