Jim Cramer on PNC Financial: "I Prefer the Other Bank Stocks"

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer finished his game plan with the company, as he commented:

“On Friday, we get a big bank break when we can focus on just PNC, a regional bank that’s been an up-and-down performer after years where it did nothing but go up. I prefer the other bank stocks. Now, the beginning of earnings season sets the tone for a bushel of quarters ahead. It makes sense. The banks always kick things off, and it’s reasonable to extrapolate all sorts of trends for consumers, right, and corporations from the financials.”

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) provides money management tools, including banking, home and auto loans, and professional investment planning. Cramer discussed the company during his game plan on January 10, 2025. He said:

“Thursday we have more of the same. This time, Bank of America, U.S. Bancorp, Morgan Stanley, and PNC Financial. I actually expect all these to be good too. But the best one, the most admirable [is] likely to be PNC. You know, PNC has become kind of a cult bank stock.”

It should be noted that since the above comment was aired, The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) stock has gained slightly over 15%.
