That’s up from practically zero in that age group fifty years ago. It is a huge growth market and Cramer would be remiss if he didn’t address it.
Food companies have had a tough go of it lately with raw costs so high, but Cramer would think HAIN is less exposed because its target market is fairly wealthy with higher levels of disposable income. Basically, the typical consumer who is worried about eating organic probably doesn’t care about paying a little extra for granola.
While slightly missing its earnings in August, HAIN gave a very optimistic outlook for ’08. Its guidance, along with its exposure to the trend of more parents raising more children to eat organic food makes the stock a “buy, buy, buy,” Cramer said.
