Jim Cramer on BJ's Wholesale: "I Use This One as a Barometer for Costco"

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) is one of the stocks in focus as Jim Cramer laid out this week’s game plan. Cramer finished his game plan with the stock, as he said:

“Finally, on Friday, we hear from another club, this time BJ’s Wholesale Club. I use this one as a barometer for Costco, that down-and-out warehouse club that I think is so great. But so far, I’ve been wrong of late, right for very many years, though.”

BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) runs membership-based warehouse stores and provides groceries, fresh food, general merchandise, fuel services, and promotional savings. TimesSquare Capital Management stated the following regarding BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Our preferences in the Consumer-oriented sectors lean toward value-oriented or specialty retailers, franchise models, or premium brands. BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BJ) operates membership warehouse clubs. First quarter profits and earnings outpaced Street estimates. Strong momentum in consumables offset a slight decline in seasonal big-ticket categories. Investors appear to have been disappointed by management’s decision to maintain full-year guidance, though we view this as a conservative approach. We added to the BJ’s position on its -6% pullback.”
