Buy Dick's Sporting Goods for a turnaround.
Dick's Sporting Goods suffered a massive drop due to a terrible quarter, guidance cuts, and struggles with its Foot Locker acquisition amid an industry-wide inventory glut. However, Cramer believes it is the last remaining sporting goods retailer with genuine scale and expects the stock to bottom soon, making it a buy for a turnaround by January.
Oil prices are likely heading much lower.
Garner expects oil prices to fall significantly because more oil is sneaking through the Strait of Hormuz than reported, OPEC is bleeding supply, the market is in backwardation, and technical patterns mirror the 2022 decline. She sees major support at 72, but warns prices could drop into the 60s or even 40s.
Buy Generac on weakness for data centers.
Cramer agrees with a caller's strategy to trim Generac at 290 and buy a little on the current pullback, advising to wait for a further 25-point drop to buy more in case the data center trade cools off further.
Repositioning DIY tax to accelerate future growth.
Intuit is repositioning its DIY tax product pricing to increase market share and accelerate new customer growth after losing share to low-cost providers. Meanwhile, its mid-market and assisted tax segments are growing rapidly, and the company is separating Mailchimp to focus on profitability while investing in its core growth engines.
Avoid Grab Holdings due to lack of transparency.
Cramer strongly dislikes Grab Holdings, calling it an opaque holding company where it's hard to find information, and suggests investors should be glad the stock hasn't gone to zero.
SpaceX is a great long-term investment.
Despite short-term hesitations, Cramer views SpaceX as a phenomenal long-term investment that you should buy, put away, and eventually pass on to your kids.
Sell half of ServiceNow and hold the rest.
For an investor who bought ServiceNow at 98 and saw it rise, Cramer advises selling half of the position to lock in profits and letting the remaining shares run.
Stay away from First Solar stock.
