J.P. Morgan’s downgrade of Tyco on Tuesday should push that stock closer to Cramer’s recommended buy-in level, he said during today’s Mad Money.

Tyco finally seems to be benefiting from breaking itself up into a number of different businesses, including number-one electronic security firm ADT (which also makes fire-fighting and protection equipment) and a strong flow-control company. Cramer credits higher margins than expected from flow control as a major reason for Tyco’s beat – a 31% upside surprise.

Cramer did admit that there was some weakness in the quarter coming from ADT, but he blamed it on a necessary exit from an unprofitable contract, and a trend in clients switching from client to pay-as-you-go service. Since ADT is not a cyclical business, he’s fully expecting this part of Tyco to find its footing soon enough.
Tyco also has the buyback Cramer likes so much -- $1 billion worth, or about 5% of shares outstanding.
But as good as this stock looks, it’s important to only buy in at the right price, Cramer said. He said investors shouldn’t pay any more than $42 for TYC.
