Mad Money Recap

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Pike Has Yet to Peak

 

Hain Expects Growth Gains

Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) CEO Irwin Simon joined Cramer by telephone on the show. Cramer asked Simon where he expected growth in his company.

Growth is going to come from snacks, drinks and the company's new free-range chicken products, he said.

Cramer wanted to know when Hain's stock would trade at a multiple more comparable to Whole Foods Market (WFMI) and Wild Oats Markets (OATS).

Simon said his company owned some of the best brands in the natural foods industry and that eventually investors will realize that.

Cramer summed up the interview saying, "This is the cheap natural food play. ... I like this stock. Wish I owned it myself."
