Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust recently purchased 50 shares of Stanley Black & Decker at around $84.38, 25 shares of Linde at $416.58, and 50 shares of TJX Companies at $94.82. The Trust now owns 840 shares of SWK, increasing its weighting to roughly 2.30%, 190 shares of LIN, increasing its weighting to 2.60%, and 800 shares of TJX, increasing its weighting to roughly 2.47%. Linde’s stock fell more than 6% after reporting mixed quarterly results and a softer forecast for the current quarter. Management’s conservative estimates were seen as an opportunity to buy back shares at a lower price. The company has a history of exceeding guidance and the Trust is confident in its long-term success.
Investors reacted negatively to Stanley Black & Decker’s reaffirmed guidance, despite beating earnings expectations. Management’s cautious approach in light of economic uncertainty was considered prudent, but not what investors wanted to hear. The Trust sees the pullback as a chance to buy more shares, as the company is controlling costs and positioning itself well for the future. Additionally, the dividend yield presents a attractive opportunity for income while waiting for potential growth in the stock price. TJX Companies’ shares are down from their peak in March, prompting the Trust to purchase more shares. The company, known for offering value to consumers, is viewed as a strong investment in a market where consumers are becoming more price-conscious.
With these latest trades, the Trust is upgrading LIN and TJX to a 1 rating, while reiterating a 1 rating on SWK shares.
