The stock market rebounded on Friday as investors reacted to April’s worse-than-expected job report indicating that the Federal Reserve’s easy-going policies are unlikely to be leading anywhere anytime soon, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said.
“I know conventional wisdom goes that you have to sell and go in May, but this stupid song has to be withdrawn, at least when it comes to the first week of the month when a lot of the people who hold onto stocks are right have done well, “said the Mad Money host said. “Now that the Fed remains our friend, we can definitely keep climbing.”
Here is Cramer’s schedule for next week’s corporate earnings reports, which provides additional insight into the state of the US economic recovery.
The forecasts for sales and earnings per share are based on FactSet estimates:
Monday: Tyson Foods, Marriott International, Simon Property Group, Occidental Petroleum and Roblox
Tyson Foods
- Q2 2021 results to be published: before the market; Conference call: 9 a.m.
- Projected earnings per share: $ 1.15
- Estimated revenue: $ 11.2 billion
“We’ll hear if the burgeoning chicken shortage will drive prices up [and] likely to hear about the price of corn. As it is, the cost of animal feed continues to rise, food inflation is spiraling out of control, “Cramer said.” Is that being ignored? Difficult to imagine. But it comes right in the shadows of that benign job number, so it probably won’t matter either. “
Marriott International
- Earnings release for the first quarter of 2021: 7.00 a.m.; Conference call: 8:30 a.m.
- Projected EPS: 4 cents
- Estimated Revenue: $ 2.38 billion
“We’re also hearing from Marriott International and I’d love to see what their bookings are like,” said Cramer. “This morning Expedia told us that pleasure trips are filling hotels, but business trips haven’t come back much because everyone is still using Zoom.”
Simon Property Group
- Earnings publication for the first quarter of 2021: after market entry; Conference call: 5 p.m.
- Projected earnings per share: $ 2.27
- Estimated Revenue: $ 1.1 billion
“I bet they’ll turn the lights off,” said Cramer, naming the mall operator one of his favorites. “Brick and mortar retail is booming, at least in more affluent communities. Simon’s bread and butter are right there, so I think the numbers will be tremendously good.”
Occidental Petroleum
- Publication of results Q1 2021: After Market: Conference call: Tuesday, 1 p.m.
- Estimated loss per share: 33 cents
- Estimated Revenue: $ 4.79 billion
“We got some amazing numbers from oil producers enjoying this environment where crude oil sells for more than $ 60 a barrel. They make money there. I bet Oxy is one of them,” he said.
Roblox
- Earnings publication for the first quarter of 2021: after market entry; Conference call: Tuesday 8:30 a.m.
- Projected EPS: 8 cents
- Estimated Revenue: $ 573 million
“The company was floated on one of those direct listings where stocks tend to be undervalued. I think this could be your chance to buy shares in a fast-growing company before it gets closer to a full valuation,” said Cramer.
Tuesday: Palantir Technologies, Vizio

The company is loved by the community on Reddit’s Wall Street Bets, Cramer said. “They pride themselves on moving stocks, however, even if fundamentals don’t deserve it … I think this could be another opportunity to buy something. The stock has been around since the mid-20s that they were roving. dropped sharply it’s due, “he said.
Vizio
- Q1 2021 Results published: After Market: Conference call: 4:30 p.m.
- Estimated loss per share: 10 cents
- Estimated Revenue: $ 485 million
“I often think of Vizio in conjunction with red-hot Roku … This stock had cooled down but then rose well after reporting last night,” said Cramer. “I’d say it’s at least worth listening to Vizio for a different perspective on the situation, but I hesitate to recommend it due to the lack of chips.”
Wednesday: Wendy’s, Bumble and GrowGeneration
Wendy’s
- Earnings release for the first quarter of 2021: ahead of the market; Conference call: 8:30 a.m.
- Projected EPS: 15 cents

- Projected EPS: 7 cents

- Estimated loss per share: 8 cents

- Projected earnings per share: $ 2.98

“It’s a mystery. Business should be booming given the crazy crypto world, but since it came to the public through a dreaded direct listing, we have no idea where the sellers are and what the damn thing is really worth,” Cramer said . “I don’t trust the stock price. I like the story, though.”
Friday: retail sales
“I think you’re going to see a super strong number, a barn burner. If it wasn’t for today’s weak employment number, we might have seen bond yields spike on these retail sales, with pressure on the Fed to tighten,” Cramer said said. “Fortunately, the job report outperforms retail sales, but I’d argue that retail is the real comeback story right now, and that means we’ll likely have more than temporary inflation.”
Disclosure: Cramer’s charitable foundation owns shares in Disney.
