Summary

He also discusses AIR, which had explosive results but is trading at an all-time high with a big valuation, so he would not chase it without a strong forward reason. The transcript also references a Citizens downgrade of Sonar and a broader desire to rotate to safer areas.

Lennar inventory makes it too hard
Cramer says Lennar has too much inventory and recalls the risk that homebuilder inventory can lead to price cuts. He acknowledges Lennar is a high-quality builder led by Stuart Miller and trades at only about seven times earnings, but he does not want to buy a quality homebuilder ahead of possible rate cuts when a strong employment number could complicate the outlook. He concludes it is too hard to buy the stock here, so he is cautious and avoiding it rather than recommending it.

AIR too expensive after explosive quarter
Cramer notes AIR had explosive numbers and an amazing quarter, but the stock is at an all-time high and carries a big valuation. He says anyone coming in now needs a darn good reason ahead, implying he would not chase the stock after its report and sees it as unattractive at current levels.
