Jim Cramer Previews Market Outlook for Next Week
This week, President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration will take center stage on Wall Street, with investors eager to see how his administration will impact the market. According to CNBC’s Jim Cramer, Trump’s presidency is seen as pro-business, with the possibility of deregulation, rollbacks of executive orders, and stricter border controls. However, it remains unclear which of these changes will take effect immediately.
Cramer highlighted several key earnings reports from major companies, starting with 3M and United Airlines on Tuesday. He expects both to report strong quarters, with 3M’s data center business booming and United Airlines benefiting from the surge in airline profitability.
Wednesday’s earnings reports will feature GE Vernova, Halliburton, Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson. Cramer is optimistic about GE Vernova, driven by the growing demand for energy. He’s less sure about Halliburton, but notes that Trump’s drilling aspirations could boost the stock. Procter & Gamble may face challenges in China due to the strong dollar, while Johnson & Johnson continues to contend with lawsuits over its talc products.
Thursday will see General Electric spin-off GE Aerospace report its earnings, which Cramer believes could be a winner. Finally, Friday’s earnings releases will include Verizon and American Express. Cramer is not optimistic about Verizon, but sees potential in American Express, whose shares often drop after reporting results.
