6:08 pm
landing, iyou believe inflation is coming down, if you believe intere rates have peaked, th you need to be a little more optimistic about life in stocks, or at least stocks. the russell 1000 list with a growth stock bias that can produce some real winners and the ones i just highlighted have separated themselves from, i don't know, how about the other 990 stocks in that esteemed coiled spring of an index! to mix metaphors with racing and trains. charles in arizona. charles! >> caller: boo-yah, eagle boy jim. how are you doing today? >> go birds, chief. what's happening? >> caller: yeah, hey, i want to -- first of all i want to put a hats off to charlie munger, man. what a great -- or sorryloss that is for -- >> and i can't wait to see becky's special. becky knows -- knew charlie and knows warren like no other journalist. it's going to be fantastic. what's going on? >> jim, we appreciate your insights for us stay at home
6:09 pm
traders. in 2019 on the options action i took tony zang's trade on morgan stanley. i got in at 53.60. it's hit 106 at a high. but now it seems it can't hold 80. is the 4 1/2% dividend enough to keep me in it? >> my friend, big guy, listen to me, this thing is just killing me. my charitable trust owns, it we sold some higher, tried to buy some lower, bought some down here. yield's 4 1/4. and it is just killing me. and i can't believe it is down this low. this is a high-quality company. where if you believe that rates are going down and that activity is going to pick up you have to buy the stock. you have to right here. jerry in missouri. jerry! >> caller: hey, jim, thanks for taking my call. >> no problem. >> caller: a few weeks ago there were two situations of good conference calls yet the stock went down anyway. so i purchased entirely new positions in palo alto and winn. palo alto's now down almost 20% and thinking of you
6:10 pm
little and bought a new toy. my question is this. wynn is not doing so great. >> no. >> caller: do you think geopolitics are taking too much of a toll -- >> 100%. wynn is down because they've got two casinos in macau. one of them caters to the high end. and unfortunately, that is no longer the end that is working. and that is killing the stock and it's got to figure out how to recondition that one, how to reconfigure because if they don't the stock is not going to get above the 90 level. and if they do i've got to tell you, maybe it will also be helped by the super bowl being there in february. but only of course if the eagles are in it. luke in arizona. luke! >> caller: mr. cramer, how are you, sir? >> pretty good, luke, how about you? >> caller: i'm good. i'm good. i'll do a little better if oil can do what it's supposed to do. >> really? >> caller: devon energy is driving me nuts. >> devon energy can drive anybody nuts frankly. it's just been the worst performer in the group and it's really at 6.8% yield.
6:11 pm
you know what? i'm going to say at this point devon is too low. and i hope i don't regret saying that one. if you think we're going to have a soft landing it's time to take a look at the top names in the russell 1000 because it's filled with growth stocks that can turn out to be big winners. on "mad money" tonight lyft is trying to take share in the ride sharing space. i'm sitting down with the ceo. then if you think that rates really have peaked as i do, what sector should do best? i'm checking in with the reits and sharing which one. a former spac that i'm interested in. a company up over 200% this year. do not miss my exclusive with virgin air! and stay withroom credit. second of "mad moneymiss a follow @jimcramer on x. have a question? tweet cramer. hashtag madmentions. send jim an e-mail to

6:15 pm
in this environment with interest rates finally sinking a stock like lyft earlier this year the ride share company looked to be in bad shape. it was losing market share to uber, struggling to pivot to profitability. then in march they brought in an experienced tech executive and ceo david risher. he immediately started cutting costs. laying off the workforce. you have to do what you have to do. earlier lyft report aid top and bottom line beat. the stock tumbled 6% in response supposedly because their gross bookings and rideshare metrics fell short of uber. the sell was overdone. stock's rallied 16% since then. could this be the beginning of a larger rebound which i think it
6:16 pm
is? let's check in with david risher ceo of lyft. mr. risher, welcome back to "mad money." >> it is so good to be here. how are you? >> i'm a nervous traveler. i've got you. i hate being late. i always think i'm going to miss the plane. i'm scared to death. i'm waiting for the ub asterisk r to show up. give me some certainty that maybe i'm using the wrong gu >> well, you are using the wrong guy, and here is why i can tell you that. wennounced something called the guaranteed airport pickup. and to your point, everyone is stressed during holidays. anthe hodays should be so eat. they're a time of getting together with your family. but man, what time is the car going to pick me up so on and so on. we say we guarantee we're going to pick you up. if we're more than ten minutes late we will pay you up to $100 in lyft cash. that's enough for you to take one of those ubers that are a huge mistake for you to take but here you go. >> these kinds of things were no stranger with you. you're an inventive person. your bkgrounis about invention and creativity.
6:17 pm
every one of the things -- look, woman and connect. you can look at these things. it's a cauldron up there. and not one of those crazy ones we saw from some other guys. tell me how you come up with these ideas and tell me if you think they're working because i know you're also a very tough benchmarker of yourself. >> yeah. i do think they're working and i'll give you two reasons for that. number fwurngs you look at when i started we were up 10% year on year in ride growth. second quarter i was there we were up 17%. now we're up over 20%. that's accelerating growth in a market where that is not always the case. number one. number two, we were able to bring up new invasions. you mentioned woman plus connect. this is a way for women drivers to choose to ride with each other. and it's a game changer. if you've seen some of the social media on it people love it. and it's understandable why. it feels safe. it feels comfortable. it feels like i've got a comrade in the car. and then number three, let's talk about airports one more time. we've given about 2 1/2 million rides just in the last couple weeks just to airports. 2 1/2 million rides.
6:18 pm
guess how many -- and i'll ask you the question. out of those 2 1/2 million rides guess how many we were so late that we actually had to pay for your uber. how many? pick a number. >> all right. i'll say 10%. >> 10%. so that would be 250,000 rides. the actual number? 72 rides. >> 72 actual, not -- >> 72 rides. .01%. >> so this is a decent bet by you. >> this is a decent bet. so the question -- or answer to how do we come up with ideas, we obsess over our riders, we obsess over our drivers and we overdeliver. >> this is an importantway to point out thathe way people have been incorrectly valuing your stock is -- i don't mean to pick on anyone but jefferies has the andard recap, ak miraitting but sll losing ground. of course that's a comparison to uber. i think all comparisons are fatuous. you're comparing yourself and that's what matters. how would you grade yourself? >> yeah. so i compare myself to what our customers want. that's what i do. and our thesis, to be clear, is
6:19 pm
customer obsession drives enterprise value. customer obsession drives enterprise value. the more we obsess over our customers the gger theore ccessful we'll g i grade self well because i see women plus connect i see airport pickup i see accelerating growth. i see drivers, we have 40% -- 45% more driver hours now than we had a year ago. >> i was just going to say the 45 -- i was going to point that out because these are the kind of metrics people should be looking at. you needed to re-establish this. and the way to re-establish it is more and more drivers. i could ask you for adjusted ebidta. it isn't yet the right time. >> that's right. it will be. we're building a healthy growing bids. but look at the inputs. i'll tell you something else nobody else knows. this is something most companies don't talk about. when i joined if you look at how our employees are experiencing our company, we run surveys like most companies do about every quarter and our employee confidence level was low. historic low level. and you can kind of understand
6:20 pm
why. it then grew. and then we just released another -- we just saw the results yesterday of our most recent one. it is the highest it has been in four years. employee confidence. what that tells you is that the thousands and thousands, 3,000-plus team members who work for lyft are starting to believe. they believe in our purpose. they believe in our execution. that's a leading indicator. that -- how well we're doing for our customers, our riders, our drivers, that's what people should be looking at. not ebidta. that's down the road. >> there's also a flywheel effect, overdone term but i look at the advertisers you have for lyft media. i first thought these would be kind of bargain basement guys, ambulance chasers. apple, not an ambulance chaser. >> apple's not an ambulance chaser. not only that they've reupped and reupped again. they're very consistent. to be clear what's happening is they're recognizing you've got a person who's sitting in a car, the average number of times a person checks their lyft app in the car is ten different times. am i there? so instead of checking your app over and over again you get in to play a game on apple. you're getting a free apple tv
6:21 pm
plus subscription. it's really interesting to see actually even our riders are liking it. and by the way you know who else benefits? drivers. when we do advertising and you're taking a ride drivers actually get paid more. >> when i meet my partner david faber tomorrow and he says is that lyft still around, perhaps i should remind him that you are alive and doing better than this company has, what, for many, many years. >> for sure. >> i also can't help but mention you have probably taught more people -- people don't know this. to be literate, to read. than anyone on earth. and you don't talk about it. there are other people who brag about their charities. is this actually an easier task, what you're doing, than teaching millions of people how to read as you did in -- >> i appreciate you bringing that up. i don't know which is easier. they both have their challenges. but they're both super interesting and energizing. i think people who lead with purpose, and i put myself in that category, have the best jobs in the world. and i think it's what brings companies along and it allows us to sort of be bigger than
6:22 pm
ourselves. anyway, having a great time. >> i know this is -- i don't want to conflate charity and making money but i think people should want to join you as you lead lyft much higher. thank you thank you so much, david risher, the ceo of lyft. you're good, man. i'm going to take you up on your pledge. look out. >> announcer: coming up, if rates have peaked, where does real estate go from here? part 3 of cramer's series answers the big question of what if. next.

6:26 pm
when rates were soaring there was no need to own dividend stocks because you'd get better return from risk-free treasuries. wasn't that the way to go? now long rates are falling, though. dividend stocks are enticing again. that's why i recommended some of the higher quality utilities and pipeline plays earlier this week. tonight we're circling back to the real estate investment trusts, another group of yield plays that have had a very tough year thanks to stiffer competition from the bond market and worries about a particular corner of the industry and that is office real estate. those dragged down the whole group to the point where the s&p 500 how now has a 4.3% yield. juicy. which of these right now? i want to start with crown castle. that's the reit that owns cell phone towers, a really terrible group because they're dividend stocks but also because wireless carriers are looking to cut costs. crown castle's in the news this weeng because ole yot management arguably the smartest activist hedge fund on earth tried to do
6:27 pm
something with crown castle in 2020 but they were effectively rebuffed by the board. since then the stock's been a major underperformer. >> sell sell sell! >> so they figured now they've got a little more leverage this time around. i agree. elliott wants new executives and new board, a strategic review of crown castle's fiber business which they've long hated, and new focus on boosting the company's return on invested capital. now, the stock has soared since elliott announced its new campaign but it's still down more than 13% for the year and it sports a beautiful 5.3% yield. i like the dividend. i think the stock has plenty of upside if crown castle would simply listen to some of elliott's suggestions. can i just say that they are nuts if they don't? next to simon property group which owns high-class malls. i recommended this one less than a month because the stock felt too cheap for me. in reality some are dead but not high-class malls. high-class malls are holding up a lot better than lower class
6:28 pm
ones. and simon's about as class as it gets. 90% occupancy rate, lots of leasing momentum. plus they made some moves during the pandemic, buy up failing retailers to keep their tenants afloat. it didn't hurt that simon's malls benefited from having stores stay open. shuttered anchor tenants means lower adjacent rates. simon's rallied 11% since i recommended it at the beginning of the month but it's still got a bountiful 6.1% yield at these levels ithink it's got a lot more room to run. how about another downtrod ellen retail reit? i like federal realty. close observers of the show know this. properties in high income suburbs. the vast bulk is retail. these guys reported a great quarter four wooeeks ago. came on the show. this company has increased its dividend for 56 years, the longest streak in the industry. it's still down 5% for the year and it pays you a juicy 34.6%
6:29 pm
yield which is now higher than you could get from the ten-year treasury. that's one of the reasons i keep focusing on these stocks. what can i say? i'm a big believer in federal realty and the straight shooting ceo don wood. i think you're getting a great entry point right here. don, as we say, is money. now, let me give you some unusual ones, just throw them in. long-time cramer fave prologis the real estate investment trust that's basically e-commerce real estate. fabulous performer thanks to the rise of online shopping but the stock's been held back over the past couple years because there's a widespread sense that everybody built too many logistics facilities during the pandemic. i think we're finally getting over that and at the end of the day nothing can stop the rise of e-commerce. that's especially true with so many drugstores making it borderline impossible to buy anything good in order to prevent rampant theft. so much easier to just order your shampoo online. that lock and key thing is the best advertisement going for e-commerce. pro loggis also made an
6:30 pm
acquisition last year the $26 billion purchase of duke realty. wall street didn't really approve of it. and of course the rising interest rates dragged this one down along with the other reits. i think the fundamental story remains unchanged here. e-commerce will keep going and that means more companies will need to rent property from pro loggis. meanwhile the company keeps putting up excellent numbers. the stock has stood still but the funds from operations have grown substantially. these guys have a terrific 96.1 occupancy rate. amazing pricing power. their same store operating income is up 9% just in the last quarter. plus while pro loggis has been more of a growth play than a yield play -- finally i think the worries about office real estate they've gotten too excessive and that's why i like boston properties which owns a portfolio of office buildings in boston los angeles new york sfrais san francisco seattle and washington, d.c. just like shopping malls there's a difference between high-quality office space and
6:31 pm
commodity office space. boston properties has one of the best oefrlz portfolios out there in terms of owning premier buildings. i first pitched this contrarian call on the stock in early september telling you it will be a winner whenever interest rates peaked. i told you to put in a small position and buy more on the way down. sure enough boston properties under 57 butown here it's got t a 6.9%ield. now yono longer lieve ticing. 6%.erest rates are zoomi to am stiing wi ts on boon prorties has gotten chear as icomes down. greabut hi-end is in muce betterhape and boston properties is pang to wa unl walltreet gures at t. onday it wil bottom line, ilike me yo beeve interest res peaked a month ago then you've got to resit all the high yielders that didn't, who the bond market was offering more competitive turns. nothat bond yields have pulled back substtiallyrom their to the pipeline plays to the reits suddenly feels a lot mor investable. hey, stick around tomorrow. wh i give you five more
6:32 pm
potentiawinners. i'll take calls. samuel in new york. samu! >> caller: hey, jim. long-time listener. boo-yah! what's going on?el. >> caller: what do you think about baba? >> i'mot a fan of baba. i think theye very challenged right now. i'm going to have to say -- right now everyone likes pin duo duo. i'm not going to recommend something that'sone down a lot and think it's cheap. i'm ry worried structurally about baba. so i have to say no i can't go with it. let's stick wi the sams. sam.in colorado. >> caller: jim, how are you doing? >> i am doing fine, sam. how are you? >> caller:'ve been good. you know, one thing i don't think people he been paying as much attention to as ty should is the electric grid and as the whole cntry begins to shift toward renewable energy and transportation wre going to need more grid and
6:33 pm
one of the companies i'm looking at that that appears to be a beneficiary of the recent inflation reduction act would be qantas services, ticker pwr. you don't have tdo any arm . twisting fore. i think pwr's one of the best companies. i actually discovered this have always felt it was a good one. we had a little break in the action it went down but started to come back. i say buy buy buy quanta. good call, my friend. now, look, if you believe like i did interest rates have peaked then it's time to revisit high yielders like the reits which suddenly feel a lot more investable. much more "mad money" including my exclusive with burdon. after being impacted with supply chain woes the company's back and better than ever. but can it someone i've got the ceo. and what's holding back the health care sector from jumping into bull snowed i'm sharing the reasons. and of course all your calls rapidfire in tonight's edition of the "lightning round." of the "lightning round." so stay with cramer. rylee! from rylee's realty!

6:39 pm
and then we also shared our plans for the rest. we are certainly looking at a strong outlook from a market standpoint and we expect to grow nicely in that market environment. we're thinking about something in the 9 to 11% range going out in the next few years. >> well, that would be terrific. i happen to be a big fan of jensen huang from nvidia and he always taught me the thing you have to worry about is you can't let the machines burn too hot. it's about heat, saving the planet and heat and then good power. it looks like vertiv is a good partner of jensen because i watched video today of jensen singing your praises. >> we work very well with them. we work very well with nvidia. and certainly with jensen. visionary leader and the company as a whole is phenomenal.

and we are partnering exactly to solve the problems that future generation of chips and the current generation of chips are creating. but the problem, that also they are solving as the heat and the power is concentrated in the chip the chip becomes more efficient. from a computing power standpoint. but more power needs to be fed to the chip and more heat needs to be extracted. and that's where we come into the equation. >> let's say i went to a data center and it had no cooling equipment by vertiv. what would happen? >> let's say statistically it's likely that when you enter a data center there will be a lot of cooling and power equipment of vertiv. but in the off case that's not happening it is always possible for us to go and do a retrofit really to bring the power and

the cooling to the next level, to the ai-required level of power and heat operations. >> all right. so gio, what happened? there was a period where your stock went down a great deal. and that was in part because you really had supply chain problems. you must have been importing things and some of the materials maybe were too sensitive to heat or -- something went wrong here and it seems to have gone away. can you give me the fall and rise of vertiv? >> we are a global leader in critical digital infrastructure. what happened in the last two years was a lot to do with contingent market situation in terms of supply chain, a very difficult supply chain environment. in that very difficult supply chain environment, in continuity of supply and delivery was a
6:42 pm
challenge for vertiv and for many other players in the industry. and you know, we started to work very, very focused on price and rebalancing balancing the price-cost equation. and it took time to make that happen. and that started to bear fruits in the second half of 2022, back end of 2022 and 2023 we accelerated. as the supply chain was stabilized, as we became more resilient in a way with design and the architect supply chain the acceleration happened. and also the market started to accelerate with more and more focus on ai, and that's all good stuff for us. that is tailwind for us. >> one last question. dave cody is an exacting man. he is a terrific man but he does not suffer fools gladly. his book is excellent. he's a resource for many ceos. how do you cooperate, get along
6:43 pm
and learn from your chairman, dave cody? >> well, i get along very, very well. first of all, dave is a phenomenal chairman for vertive and for vertive shareholders. he needs no introduction. he is a great mentor. and not just a mentor. he's a very active chairman. but also someone who always keeps me, you know, aware of what could be behind the corners, the things that i may have overlooked or not. but he reminds that. so he's an enormously important resource for me and i am learning every day, every hour from dave. >> and i know he likes to win too, which will put some pressure on periodically, but that's sometimes what a ceo needs. gio albertazzi is the ceo of vertiv. vrt, by the way. a stock we like very much. thank u fobeing on the show. >> well, thanks for having me. of course.
