He addresses a member feeling “stuck” in Home Depot, urging patience within a diversified portfolio.
No guests are named; it’s Cramer speaking to club members.
Rates going lower should help Home Depot; tariff exposure is a temporary overhang; diversification means some holdings may lag while others lead.
Home Depot; Micron (as a contrast); healthcare and defense/aerospace (Boeing improving as oil climbs); CUNITY (DuPont spinoff) with revenue up 22% YoY, adjusted EPS $1.46 vs $1.20, and raised outlook.

Housing stocks look like a massive winner. Let's go over that.
1:26Home Depot. That's the belief that rates are going to go lower. Home Depot has big tariff exposure, such as Stanley. This is a reaction, I think, that people believe, and this is a very ethereal notion, that the working person has been hurt by higher gasoline, the working person has been hurt by tariffs, including many things that are bought at Home Depot. That's going to be over. Now, right here, again, this is about giving up versus not giving up. Right here, we've got a question from the last monthly meeting, which said that I'm stuck at Home Depot, basically. What do I do? and we urge patience.
2:00We urge patience because we're a diversified portfolio. And something that might be good for Home Depot may be bad for Micron. You have to accept the consequences of a diversified portfolio and say that, listen, if rates come down or if the do-it-yourself market heats up, you're going to have the number one stock. And we have the number one stock. Yeah, nice balance. Back in the green year to date, which is good to see. Then you have some healthcare stocks making a nice move, Maybe not on the insurance side, though. Defense lower on the potential for less defense spending. But aerospace, Boeing doing well with the move with oil, continuing to slowly climb back from that sell-off last week.
2:41Remember, bookings was fine. I want to point out one that I'd buy. Okay, I would just buy it here. And it's a stock called CUNITY. They reported a great number. It had nothing really to do with data center as much as with the substrate for, if you believe in AMD, for instance, You believe it's good for AMD. This is a proxy. It has been straight down. This is DuPont's spinoff. And I think that this stock, with the best quarter of the semis, frankly, should be bought. And I'm just putting it out there. And I'm wondering, even though it's up 43 % year-to-date, if you don't own it, I will probably emphasize this on our Friday annual meeting.
3:16Yeah, you had revenue up 22 % year-over-year, beating estimates. Adjusted EPS,$1.46 versus$1.20. The shrink to stack, the smaller chips and increasing complex 3D packaging require more materials per wafer and package. Strength in advanced nodes, benefiting from the transition to two nanometer chips, HBM4. It's kind of lost in the shuffle. More than 15 advanced fabs with production targeted for next year. They raise their outlook significantly. And the implied Q4 guide is above street as well. So just all around upside here.
