Cramer's week ahead: Tesla, Microsoft, Starbucks, Facebook and more earnings

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Friday that investors should be ready to find buying opportunities in the stock market with earnings season in full swing.

When companies report quarterly results, market players digest numbers quickly and Wall Street tends to make many mistakes, he said, pointing to trading action in Honeywell and American Express as an example.

“There will be reports next week that are met with negativity and not all of them will be genuinely bad, so I’m urging you to take advantage of that weakness,” the “Mad Money” host said.

With household brand names like Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks and Amazon set to report, it’s shaping up to be the most brutal stretch of earnings season, he added.

“As we head into the next five days of earnings, you need to think about what gets crushed as much as what is working because this market’s creating some unbelievable buying opportunities,” Cramer said.

I am respecting Cramer a lot more this episode. He's speaking like a true mentor/financial advisor teaching people not to panic sell on short term not so great earning news for solid companies. We really shouldn't budge on anything short of a massive scandal for these companies. No more silly "house of pain" talk. LOL.

A month ago you said to avoid TWLO when it was hovering near 300, now you say to hold it at 380s? What a visionary. You only know one thing, momentum

[mojie]

You said to avoid oil stocks and CVX when CVX was in low 60s!! What a visionary and expert you are😂😂

I remember watching Jim back in 2008 looks like your still breaking promises.

Amazon stayed afloat and even thrived when many of the competitors went under, especially small businesses.

I don't expect them to tank after people have become used to buying stuff online.

[carsonconlee]

I thought Cramer was done with oil “forever” lol that’s all he cried about the last several quarters

[pweddy]

AMD is down because the Xilinx purchase overshadowed an excellent quarterly result and then people over reacted to the news that Intel was having a change in management.

There is nothing that the new CEO can do that will fix products that are coming to market now or for the next year. The only thing he can do is adjust prices to be more competitive. The designs that are already in the pipeline were started 2 years ago, he can't do anything to make them better. He can only advise on new business directions going forward and most decisions made today will take 2 to 3 years to have an impact on the bottom line.

American Express is an old company. PE Ratio is 38. EPS is 2.6%, so dividend will likely be below 2%. That is awful. Honeywell PE is 33, EPS is 3%. What about those numbers screams good value? Seriously, the market is so hot and delusional it's only a matter of time before this pops.

[TeslaEVolution]

Tesla. Not the world's leading auto makers, but the by far biggest company on earth, the Moon and Mars!!

[higuy]
