Jim Cramer Says You Should ‘Buy, Buy, Buy’ These 11 Stocks
In this article, we will take a detailed look at Jim Cramer Says You Should ‘Buy, Buy, Buy’ These 11 Stocks. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article Jim Cramer Says You Should ‘Buy, Buy, Buy’ These 5 Stocks.
Jim Cramer in his latest program talked about CNBC's Alpha Stock Survey according to which a “majority” of investors believe the market is headed for a pullback. Cramer is not at all worried about a possible decline in the market.
"Hallelujah about that survey," Cramer said.
Jim Cramer said that the S&P 500 is up 10% in the first three months of 2024, registering the best quarter since 2019. This makes Cramer believe that the market is indeed heading for a pullback. But he said we should “welcome it, not fear it.”
Jim Cramer "Welcomes" Market Sell-Offs
Jim Cramer said that sell-offs are “inevitable.” He said even though we don’t know when they will hit, they are always expected and we should take them as buying opportunities. Cramer said he learned the concept of welcoming sell-offs from the legendary investor Peter Lynch, who famously said that you should expect a 10% pullback on average after every two years and a 25% “beatdown” every six years. Peter Lynch, Cramer reminded, said about 30 years ago that despite pullbacks and sell-offs the market tends to do well in the long term since according to his estimates corporate profits grow 8% per year. Lynch said the stock market follows corporate earnings and as a result made almost accurate predictions about the Dow Jones growing at about 8% per year.
Cramer Thinks Market's "Breadth Problem" is Solved
Jim Cramer also said that anyone who still “insists” that this market is just about major tech names like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) and other Mag. 7 stocks, they should rethink since he believes there are “so many winners” in the market that “it’s insane.” Cramer believes the market no longer has the “breadth” problem because returns are expanding across the board, sometimes at the “expense” of mega-cap technology stocks.
Jim Cramer thinks that it’s of no use to stay fixated on the Federal Reserve for now, with all indications saying the central bank is in no hurry to cut interest rates. Cramer wants investors to instead focus on earnings and the performance of individual companies. Cramer said we haven’t seen mass rounds of layoffs that many in the “hard landing” camp were expecting. He said we are prepared to see another hot jobs report, but if it comes softer-than-expected, we will go into the next earnings season with a “pleasant backdrop.”

"We have approximately $145 million remaining on our existing $250 million repurchase authorization, and we are announcing today a new share repurchase authorization of $250 million. Now turning to our guidance for FY ’25. We expect to return to double-digit revenue growth in FY ’25, growing 10.5% to $3.1 billion. We expect demand across our entire data storage platform will strengthen while also remaining cautious of the macro spending environment. Our annual revenue guide of 10.5% growth also contemplates approximately 50% growth in TCV sales for our collective Evergreen/One and Evergreen/Flex service offerings, which are expected to be $600 million.
To help better understand the short-term impact that growth of our consumption and subscription offerings have on our annual revenue growth rate we estimate that our forecasted FY ’25 revenue growth would be in the mid-teens when adjusting for the expected growth of both our Evergreen/One and Evergreen/Flex service offerings. Slightly offset by expected additional revenue arising from past TCV sales in FY ’24. Consistent with our philosophy in driving profitable growth, we expect FY ’25 operating profit to be $532 million, and operating margin to be 17%. Margin for FY ’25 is in line with our longer-term goal of expanding operating margin by a percentage point or 2 each year and represents a 2-point increase from our FY ’24 guide that we communicated at the beginning of the year."
