The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) is one of the one of the stocks Jim Cramer commented on, along with the recent Fed meeting. Expressing hesitancy about interest rate-sensitive cyclicals, Cramer said:
“I don’t see any real reason to get excited about the interest rate-sensitive cyclicals, including the housing stocks. Those are the stocks you’d buy if we heard that the Fed had a very serious debate about whether to have a double rate cut. We didn’t get that. Now, for instance, we own Home Depot for the Charitable Trust. It’s been a big winner and I’m not surprised that it got dinged today, down 1%.
You need to hear something about bigger cuts to get that stock higher, and it didn’t happen. It’s going to be slower. It’s still going to go higher, though. I don’t feel great about the cyclicals in general, even though Caterpillar hit an all-time high today, unless they have something to do with the data center or with aerospace.”
