On CNBC’s “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer recommended buying Vistra Corp. (NYSE:VST), adding it “went too high. It’s come back down. I’m going to bless it.”
On the earnings front, the company, on May 7, posted GAAP first-quarter net income of $1.029 million, while ongoing operations Adjusted EBITDA came in at $1,494 million.
Cramer said, “I kept thinking that there would be a consolidator and Stryker (NYSE:SYK) would do the consolidating.” However, that has not come to pass.
On June 5, Leerink Partners analyst Mike Kratky maintained Stryker with an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $410 to $407.
Cramer said he likes Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FICO), but he is not going to go there: “I’m not going to get in the crosshairs anymore of these companies that might get hurt by AI. It’s too painful.”
Fair Isaac announced a $2 billion buyback plan on June 8.
When asked about Clover Health Investments, Corp. (NASDAQ:CLOV), he said, “You could say that I was not bullish enough on it. I’m focused on how great United Health (NYSE:UNH) is, and how great CVS (NYSE:CVS) is, but yes as a spec, that one was right, but I like mine for the long haul.”
On June 11, UBS analyst Jonathan Yong maintained Clover Health Investments at Neutral and raised the price target from $2.75 to $4.75.
