Jim Cramer Doesn't Like Carnival Right Now: Royal Caribbean Is 'The One You Want'

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer said he prefers Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) over Carnival Corporation (NYSE:CCL) .

“Royal Caribbean has the best systems right now, it's got the best numbers. It's the one you want, not Carnival,” he added.

On Aug. 27, Carnival unveiled new itineraries for seven ships sailing in 2026 and 2027 from Miami, Port Canaveral, Galveston, and Baltimore.

EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) has been “too rocky” for Cramer. On July 31, EPR Properties posted better-than-expected sales for its second quarter.

Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) is “too inconsistent,” Cramer said. “They don't get my buy with that level of inconsistency.”

On Aug. 19, Whirlpool declared a quarterly dividend of $1.75 per share on its common stock.

When asked about DexCom, Inc. (NASDAQ:DXCM), he said, “I did not really care for that last quarter or the explanation of why things had slowed.”

On Aug. 26, Piper Sandler analyst Matt O’Brien reiterated DexCom with an Overweight rating and maintained a $90 price target.

The “Mad Money” host said he really liked SpartanNash Company (NASDAQ:SPTN). “I like that dividend,” he added.

On Aug. 15, SpartanNash reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 59 cents, beating the street view of 56 cents. Quarterly revenues of $2.23 billion missed the analyst consensus of $2.27 billion.
