tv Mad Money CNBC December 18, 2017 6:00pm-7:00pm EST
6:00 pm
last week. >> big lots, traded up to 60, pulled back for 55, i think it's cheap. one retailers i think will continue to go higher. see you back here at 5:00. don' make you money. i'm here to level the playing field for all investors. there's always a bull market somewhere and i promise to help you find it. "mad money" starts now. . hey, i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money." other people want to make friends. i'm just trying to make you money. my job not just to entertain you but to educate you and teach you. call me or tweet me @jimcramer. what do you do if you missed it or think it is too late to get
6:01 pm
in that is the big question with the average. s&p climbing. it's not an easy one to answer. i think holy cow. what the heck are we doing up here however, it is just an inflection. i think there could be much more upside. i don't want you to leave thinking otherwise. i would start with washington. a few months ago it sounded inconceivable that we can get tax reform. republicans in congress seemed to be in total disarray. it's not like that campaign on slashing corporate taxes. we interview legislators and they have a plan to raise revenues in order to avoid busting the budget. remember the border tax thing? they were reluctant to cut corporate tax rate because it would leave a huge hole. there was no way any democrats
6:02 pm
were going to get on board. it seemed like a colossal waste of time. somehow perhaps because of the president's endless harping, perhaps because they realize they can suffer hideous losses, the gop was able to cobble together a plan that is incredibly pro business plus the republican party seems to have thrown any remaining fiscal discipline out the window. i guess we have forgotten that politicians only care about the deficit when they are out of power. because so few investors believed the bill would become law it wasn't baked into the washingt market. there is not much connection between tax cuts and market's performance over the next year. but at the end of the day one of the primary reasons stocks go higher is because earnings estimates are too low. anything that raises the estimates tends to raise the share price. guess what.
6:03 pm
even though the tax cut seems like a sure thing we are still waiting on the analysts to increase their forecasts and make no mistake when this thing passes those numbers are going to go up and in many cases up big. when those estimates bump for everything from retail, restaurants, transports, banks, market will suddenly see substantially cheaper. and then i bet we will get another leg higher. it's a huge wind fall for any corporation with a lot of cash overseas. companies that actually pay the top rate are going to get a 40% tax cut. in other words, it's a win for the s&p 500. let's go one step further. i'm always asking ceos what they will do with new found riches. buybacks, dividends. needless to say this would have been unthinkable under the previous administration. obama would have frowned on the idea to blow a hole in the deficit to fund dividends and
6:04 pm
buybacks. i can't tell you whose vision is better for america. that's not my part. it's obvious which is better for the staock market. the second reason we should have more room to run, sentiment. 17 years ago whenever i went to a ball game i would be asked about stocks recolle sstocks, a everything. yesterday i went to the giants/eagles game. not a single person asked me about the market. i got a couple of questions about bit coin but nothing about stocks. i think the move hasn't captured the fancy of most americans. people have lost faith in this whole asset class. the indexes are all that matter. not that there is passion for index. third, companies just won't stock market making themselves more appealing. this morning campbell's soup bought snyders lance.
6:05 pm
it went for $4.9 billion. they transformed themselves from a soup company with a bunch of despaired products in a supermarket to a snack food company. campbell's gets itself the largest share of the pretzel market. they are the biggest. two of the fastest growing potato chip brands. what a terrific compliment to pepperidge farm unit. gives them more in the convenience store. many people recommended campbell's as a takeover target. i think this move makes the stock worth buying as an earnings tory. then there is hershey's purchase of amplify, another snack company famous for skinny pop that is taking over swaths of snack food aisle.
6:06 pm
it is only $500 million company but today stock surged up 71% on this acquisition. huge premium. but hershey needs scale. i wouldn't be a buyer here. my point is that stocks can give you a phenomenal return simply over the course of a weekend. if companies won't do what is right to create value then shareholders will do it for you. on friday elliot partners 6.5% in acimi technologies. gigantic amount of internet traffic stock has really under performed. i think elliot helps them restructure or skeeds in putting the company up for sale. would be a buyer after the 13% run today. and you know what else you know what else i would buy proct proctor & gamble which has
6:07 pm
become more attractive now that legendary investor nelson pels has been added to the board. he told me he and ceo david taylor have had many beconversations. i say you get in there with them and buy the stock. we are back to where analyst recommendations can produce gigantic moves. witness how twitter sky rocketed 11% just because of a jp morgan upgrade. that is a little like the 1990s. let's say you prefer to buy a stock that is not on the new high list. let me give you this idea. i told club members this morning to buy honeywell suggesting a small position to start leaving plenty of room left to add if the market takes a header. that's a way to go, not all at once. not big, not statement. here is the bottom line. if i really thought you missed
6:08 pm
this move i had no qualms about telling you. i can say it is over or wait. good things happen to those who buy but don't buy big here and don't buy all at once. leave room to pick up more lower prices if we get a pullback. the fact is there are plenty of reasons to get involved with this market even now. there aren't enough alternatives to stock to justify staying away even after such an incredible run. let's take calls. let's go to john in california. >> happy holidays jim from your buddies in sacramento. >> always great to talk to you. what's going on? >> on my infrastructure plan is u.s. concrete and chicago bridge and iron. what do you think? >> it's an intriguing question. even earlier today i would say u.s.concrete is the one to buy after the close mcdermott, not a company i'm really crazy about
6:09 pm
and cbi combine together in what is a $6 billion deal. let's say at least some thought about what that merger may mean. if it makes it a more attractive company. that's what i'm promising you. there is no sense me saying i'm dismissing that merger. maybe it is really good news. let's go to russell in new york. russell. >> caller: happy holiday boo yeah to you. >> same to you. what's going on? >> caller: with the corporate tax rate possibly going to 21% which would allow companies to stay in the u.s. and compete, do you see a company like bzu being viable and if so what do you think the company will do? >> website design company and a growth vehicle. up 167%. my say, my case is buy it. let's go to brian in michigan. >> caller: jim, this friday
6:10 pm
marks the half way point of a communication launch of the next generation high speed data constiilation. replacing a network with a high speed satellite network enabling a truly global internet of things and global connectivity. with a forecasted less than 14 and projected revenue growth of only five percent i think current estimates may not be considering growth that is possible with the next generation. is the stock ready for launch? >> i have to tell you something. we recommend that years ago and it has done absolutely nothing. that does not mean anything on the fact that i have to look at it again because i like everything you had to say about it. we will come back with a reading. i don't think you missed the whole move in this market. take your time or else you will
6:11 pm
be blown out by the first decline. i'm sitting down with one of the most exciting companies to get a good read on the u.s. economy and his business. and then can the next best investment be from the frozen food aisle i'll tell you which companies. and ollie up. i'm sitting down with the ceo. stick with cramer. don't miss a second of "mad money." follow @jimcramer on twitter. have a question? tweet cramer. send jim an e-mail or give us a call at 1-800-743-cnbc. miss something head to madmoney.cnbc.com.

cyclicals. few things are more cyclical than united rentals, uri, largest rental company on earth. they rent outm machinery. here is the stock that is already up nearly 60% year to date. that is effectively quadruple from lows in early 2016. with united rentals seemingly hitting new highs could this be the time to park your money somewhere else or let it run earlier today i had a chance to check in with mike nealen, the president and ceo of united rentals. take a look. congratulations on 20 years. could you give me the arc of your terrific company? >> we started 20 years to the day and when we started and went public we were about $60 million in revenue and about 390
6:16 pm
employes. today we are over $6.5 billion in revenue and about 15,000 employees. a lot has happened in 20 years. >> there are periods where people have doubted the company. i remember in the depth of the great recession people had given up on you but your business kind of held in when you think about it. >> yeah. it was challenging for everybody. any business was suffering. but our business unlike other businesses generate a lot of free cash flow even in the down turn and we were able to meet all of our obligations and grow the company. >> how did you do it >> if you bought the bottom you did quite well. >> let's talk about your business. i have always felt you have an amazing business model. it's very expensive to buy equipment. most jobs actually don't need that. you are part of the shared economy now. >> to your point it is very
6:17 pm
expensive. not only just ownership of buying it, it's the ownership of insuring it, transporting it and making sure you have the right piece of equipment for the job. each job is completely different and we give that flexibility. almost any type of construction and the industrial market. >> people have said they keep doing acquisitions. what is that about i think the trend is value. >> there is tremendous value in scale but also for us where we are today. over 20 years we have done over 270 acquisitions which is a core competency for us. it is adopting customers and bringing them into our fold and expanding our verticals. >> through anybody left to acquire? >> sure. we only have about 12% market. so there is a lot of opportunity for growth in the future. >> now, people when i look at it people realize that the cash flow is great. i don't think they realize how
6:18 pm
much stock you brought back. it is a bargain for you to do that. >> capital allocation is a big topic. we get criticized for doing share repurposes. to your point the stock that we have purchased today seems very economical. >> there is a chance that there could be more given the fact that your tax rate is clearly beneficiary of what is going on in washington. >> we don't know until hopefully this week something will come out of congress. if they vote something in to what we have been seeing it is obviously going to help us with our cash flow and earnings and going to help us with our returns. all positive. >> you know this business and you have been in the history of it. i like to think that there is a bit of what i actually use the word boom in this country. no one would know that, i think, other than you or i because of
6:19 pm
your tremendous reach. is it wrong to use the word boom at least in parts of the country? >> i think in parts of country it definitely has a boom. you go around all major cities. i ask people to look up and see the cranes and the activity. when they complain about the traffic, why is it because they are doing repairs? there is a lot going on that people just don't see or they don't -- really doesn't comprehend. there is an awful lot of positive things going on in our business. >> you get terrible hurricanes in texas and florida. it would seem to be that people can't buy equipment just to be able to take care of those. that would be a good situation for you or i. no one wants to profit from what occurred. if you want to fix things you don't want to buy a lot of equipment for that, it is one time only. >> that's true. if you think about it we bring a lot of equipment in. we want to make sure we help the community to get back on their feet. so we do bring a lot of equipment into those market
6:20 pm
places. to your point in the beginning we take our fleet down because the storm comes in and then we come back in. usually the recovery is first and then reconstruction. depending upon the level of destruction is how long it will take before they rebuild. >> do you think that if the tax code goes through what is the impact on your business besides your capital structure and tax rate given the fact that it is supposed to spur economic growth >> i think it will. i do because i think companies will invest. you could do share repurposes. capital allocation we did acquisitions. aside from that with our board and management we are investing in other areas of our business to bring new verticals, new types of products. so those are things that i think would excite me that we can take that capital and redeploy it. more to come. >> the analysts are very positive. there is a terrific really big
6:21 pm
fantastic bank of america piece today. let's talk about this sale for a moment. i want people at home to know the so-called bear case in which i'm not part of. the ideal would be we have a long economic expansion and it has to go down. we have this inverted yield curve and really not the time to be in uri. is that just kind of looking backward to think like that? >> well, you know, you can always look backwards and come up with some sort of hypothesis. i look to the future. what i see is we see a lot of positive activity whether it's infrastructure which would be to the macro environment. if you take a look at the tax -- and if you take a look at the fundamentals of our industry today is very positive whether it be the dodge momentum index which was 13% improvement or if you take a look at the
6:22 pm
construction back log which was at an all time high. that's coming. i can tell you in 2018 looks very positive. i can't go much beyond that. what we see in the future looks pretty good. >> some said this oil service acquisition, that turned out to be ill timed. the fact is with oil in the 57, 60, no brilling than ever and this all plays to you. >> it does. our oil business fluc chats. down stream is biggest portion of that refinery business. that can fluctuate. right now year over year we have had very nice growth in the oil sector. over the last four months it has levelled off. we believe that is a viable vertical for us and we think it will continue. >> now, if someone wants to invest in an american company
6:23 pm
that is a way to be able to play all the building they see, you have to think it is a company that is really devoted to all parts of our country. in other words, you don't want to own caterpillar. you get china with that. you don't want to own -- you get a different balance sheet. it's really uri is a way to play the revolution in american industry. >> obviously i think everyone would benefit because the two companies sell into the rental space so they will benefit it. overall for united rentals we are very, very -- i would say diverse not only in the construction but also to all of states that you mentioned, united states, north america, canada, as well. our tentacles are very deep. >> congratulations on your 20th anniversary to the day. president and ceo of united rentals and symbol is uri. [lance] monica, it is absolute chaos out here!
6:24 pm
gale force winds, accumulations up to 8 inches... ...don't know if you can hear me, but [monica] what's he doing? [lance] can we get a shot of this cold front, right here. winter has arrived. whooo! hahaha [vo] progress is an unstoppable force. brace yourself for the season of audi sales event. audi will cover your first month's lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event.

6:26 pm
lately we spend a lot of time talking about the comeback in what had been one of the ugliest groups around, food. the supermarkets have been rebounding with avengeance. tyson foods have been hot. last week i told you about a classic pantry play. sure enough just this morning two acquisitions in the same part of the supermarket, campbell soup buying snideers and hershey's picking up amplify. it's not just the pantry. this supermarket strength extends to other parts of the frozen food aisle which seem
6:27 pm
like a giant waste not that long ago. in particularly i think this stock could have a lot more room to run. how is it that frozen food stocks seem to be back in business let's start with preimminent player here second only to tyson foods in the frozen space. you might recognize conagra as hebrew national, orville redden balker, slim jims. these are the brands that seem to be going out of style not that long ago. conagra has become one of the most attractive names. witness the three upgrades this stock has caught since the end of october. the stock has gone from $32 to just under $38 which is a
6:28 pm
substantial move for a food company. what is driving the action part of is it because when the economy really started heating up investors wanted to swap out of food stocks and into the cyclical plays to deliver much faster earnings growth. some of it is because we thought these companies were dinosaurs being left behind by millennial consumers with vastly different taste from my generation. but now even though the economy still roaring many food stocks have gotten their groove back. some are still lagging behind. conagra is one of the winners. when ceo took over in early 2015 he started spear heading an ambitious transformation program. former chief executive of hill shire brands selling it to tyson foods. the guy knows what he is doing. the activist investors started
6:29 pm
pushing for change. rather than trying to fight them he happily gave them two board seats which ceos out there way to go. he sold conagra's lagging label business to treehouse in 2015. good riddance. then he announced that the company would be spinning off its commercial food service business basically selling frozen potatoes to restaurants all over the country. get this. since then that spin off is giving you an 85% gain, a textbook example of how breakups can unlock value. meanwhile focussed on cutting cost and improving efficiency and made a series of acquisitions. for a while the turn around was working with the stock marching steadily higher. conagra peaked at $41 a share before plummeting to $32 at the end of august.
6:30 pm
what happened there? the whole package food group went out of style. conagra's results were just plain ugly. the sales decline by ten percent in the fiscal 2017 year. that's kind of unforgivablism things started looking up when conagra reported at the end of september. that's still a big improvement from down nine percent in the previous quarter. more important within the refrigerated and frozen segment sales actually shocked us with an increase of two percent. under the marie calendar and healthy choice brands. conagra's market continues to expand making the company more profitable. put it all together and you have a pretty strong earnings story. described how business kept improving over the course of the quarter thanks to the number of
6:31 pm
new product losses. he said you see top line improvement is dramatic in the frozen single serve meal business which we believe is the best proxy for the traction of our plan, end quote. turns out millennials love frozen food for convenience as long as it is inexpensive, prepackaged with less plastic and tastes fresh when reheated. conagra caught a series of upgrades. that said conagra reports on thursday morning. i can't blame anyone for wanting to be cautious here. i'm optimistic. i think you can put a small position on beforehand but if you prefer to wait and see you have my blessing. i like the long term story here. in particular i like a lot of potential takeover talk. remember, we just learned about two major deals in the snack food place, campbell's soup buying snyder's and hershey's
6:32 pm
buying amplified. last time conagra reported connelly made it clear he would be open to doing deals as long as they make strategic sense. who might be in the cross hairs of conagra i will give you two options, b&g foods and pinnacle foods. b&g is bite sized brand with stock on a prolonged losing streak from $50 at its peak in the middle of last year down to $35 and change. they make anything from cream of wheat. syrup, beans, and the pickles. the ladder two being worth a lot more than when they paid for them not that long ago. i bet conagra would love to get their hands on this delicious green giant assets which are performing very well right now within the broader company
6:33 pm
that's not so hot. pinnacle foods mentioned most often as potential takeover target for conagra. do you know what almost happened. pinnacle wanted too much money. conagra's frozen business recovering maybe pinnacle's bird's eye frozen veggies will look a lot more attractive. while pinnacle as a whole is not doing so great bird's eye is growing nicely. the stock has fallen from $66 down to $57 which might make them more amenable to a lower price. that is why i mention it as a potential merger. the bottom line, the package food group is suddenly back in style and freezer aisles are starting to get pretty hot. i think conagra is the smartest way to play it. if you want to speculate on a takeover i can see them or someone else snapping up either pinnacle or that brand that is
6:34 pm
b&g foods. alice in california. >> caller: good evening professor cramer. >> alice, how are you? >> caller: i was intrigued by your segment on the millennials and their love of chicken and proteins in general. and chipotle's problems i thought would benefit elpolo loco. what gives >> you have to hit your numbers. a lot of people felt the numbers were okay, not great. i was among them. this is an inexpensive stock down 17% for the year. frankly, even though i think that they've got some great pedigree, i can't remember it. the group is just too difficult right now. how about tom in oregon? >> caller: hey, jim. a big boo yeah to you from southern california and northern oregon. how are you?
6:35 pm
>> i am good. i didn't think those two things get along together. let's make some money. >> caller: i want to thank you for being such a great educator five days a week for me. >> thank you. we do it for you. that's what we do. how can i help >> caller: i have stock in monolez. i want to know if the consolation brands market move was a good thing and what is a long-term outlook for the monolez and do you think they should get into the beverage thing? >> i think they stalled. they have a new ceo. i think they have done an amazing job. we have added that to the bullpen of the club for action owners plaus.
6:36 pm
you can follow along. we think it is really right to buy. trying to bring home the bacon packaged food group is making a comeback. i think conagra is the best way to play it. much more "mad money" ahead. with the holiday season in full swing how is ollie's bargain outlet faired? and a group of stocks could be impacting your money. and all your rapid fire calls in tonight's edition of "the lightning round" so stick with cramer.
6:37 pm

6:40 pm
industry is having a great holiday season. amazing that they have turned like this. a few retailers never fell out of favor mostly companies that offer incredible bargains. take ollie's bargain outlet. the discount warehouse chain. the stock has been surging higher since 2015 rallying up to $52 and change today where it hit a brand new high. ollie's giving curious dips along the way. a solid top and bottom line sold off the next day falling 4.4%. upon further review people realize the company is doing very well. didn't take long for the stock to get its gruv baoove back. let's take a closer look to find out more about where the company is headed. welcome back to "mad money."
6:41 pm
good to see you. thank you for coming on. the first thing that pops out because we are all focussed on washington today. 38% taxpayer. i think you might be getting a wind fall from washington. >> there is a lot that has to get flushed out with the tax situation. after 35 years we're very fortunate that year after year after year we keep doing better. we do better, we do better. and our business hasn't ever been better. we'll see what happens with the tax. we are ready to take advantage of it if we can and give america bargains. >> it's never been better but there is also a lot of stores that maybe would have been doing worse but aren't. is that going to be a problem for you to get good merchandise? >> there has been no shortage. the buying environment of the closeout industry has never been stronger or better. we are seeing bigger, better, brighter, bargains. we are selling name brands at
6:42 pm
drastically reduced prices direct to the consumer. the deals there is no shortage of deals. >> how much of that has been grown at scale and how much is a lot of brand name stuff that needs a home >> i think it is a little bit of both. the note ryitryity, the visibil. as we do more and more manufacturers are calling us. if anybody out there who has a deal please give me a call. >> how was december 10 it absolutely hit our expectations. ollie's army night is a special night for ollie's army members only. you get store wide discounts and greater discounts on christmas and toys. the stores are packed, were packed. it's one of our biggest days of the year. >> you are holding with 8.2 million members strong.
6:43 pm
the army continues to grow faster than sales. it's really strong. >> you called out health and beauty, house wears, toys, furniture, bed and bath. that's a lot of categories to be doing well. >> as we told the analysts, our success has been broad based. we had 21 different departments and virtually half of them comped very strong. it depends on the deal we get. if we have a deal on consumables that is the business we are going to do. if we do a deal on sheet sets or comforters or towels. >> i think people are always trying to figure out the difference between dollar tree, dollar general and you guys and the answers is the brands you see at your place are brands at a mass market place but prices are dramatically lower. >> the inconsistency of our product is the bargain hunt shopping mentality. people want to come in and look around and shop and get a bargain and we say thanks and
6:44 pm
they come back in again. you never know what you are going to find at ollie's unless you stop by and see. >> people are willing to go 25 minutes away for an ollie's. they must pass a lot of stores. >> what they do is they want to save money. that's why we are a destination. people will travel long and far to save money and fortunately that's what ollie's does. >> so 20 states. you have a goal, though, of 950 stores. you can almost quadruple your store count. are you feeling pretty good about that number? >> since we have gone nearly three years ago we started this voyage as being publically traded company. we hit every market. we did it this year. we are going to do it again next year. we feel really good about our business. when you drive by our stores you see full parking lots. >> and clean up the balance sheet doing a lot of things
