Lightning Round: Time Warner, Applied Materials, Hologic and More

Hologic [HOLX  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer called today’s downgrade “dead wrong.” He thinks the merger with CYTYC has created the “premiere woman’s health company in the world. Back up the truck,” he said.

Applied Materials [AMAT  Loading...      ()   ]: This is a play on semiconductors, and Cramer doesn’t recommend Homegamers invest in that business.

Time Warner [TWX  Loading...      ()   ]: “I think: Sell, sell, sell!” Cramer thinks the company needs to be split up.

Northstar Realty [NRF  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer thinks Northstar has been looped in with the rest of real estate even though it seems to be an OK company. He doesn’t like real estate right now, though, so it’s a “don’t buy,” he said.

Las Vegas Sands [LVS  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer was neutral on LVS after Wynn reported a mediocre quarter, but he said he likes the stock again. “I’m kind of in awe” of how good the casino business is, he said.

SiRF Technology [SIRF  Loading...      ()   ]: “It’s going higher.”

FirstEnergy [FE  Loading...      ()   ]: Cramer likes FE, and he said NRG Energy [NRG  Loading...      ()   ] was a good play on energy as well.

Xilinx [XLNX  Loading...      ()   ]: “Don’t buy.”

Middleby [MIDD  Loading...      ()   ]: the restaurant business MIDD is tied to is “having a hard time,” Cramer said, so he can’t get behind this stock.

Carter’s [CRI  Loading...      ()   ]: If Homegamers want to own an apparel stock, go with VF Corp. [VFC  Loading...      ()   ], Cramer said.

Buffalo Wild Wings [BWLD  Loading...      ()   ]: “The stock had way, way too much hype in it.” McDonald’s [MCD  Loading...      ()   ], Darden [DRI  Loading...      ()   ] and Yum! Brands [YUM  Loading...      ()   ] are better picks as far as Cramer is concerned. Even Chipotle [CMG  Loading...      ()   ] if the price pulls back.

Walgreen [WAG  Loading...      ()   ]: Go with CVS Caremark [CVS  Loading...      ()   ] instead, Cramer said.

Jim’s charitable trust owns CVS Caremark and Hologic.
