Jim Cramer Prefers Home Depot Over Fortune Brands as a Housing Play

By Syeda Seirut Javed | January 09, 2026, 3:17 AM

Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE:FBIN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer shared his takes on. The last caller of the lightning round inquired about Cramer’s thoughts on the stock, and he stated:

“Okay, the problem is that no matter how good, look, Nick Fink is terrific, but no, it doesn’t matter how much he does, it’s still a housing play. That’s why we own Home Depot. I think it’s a better way to own it and Home Depot, you know, has historically went up ahead of when the Fed cuts. So, I’d like to be in that one more than I would like to be in Fortune Brands.”
