ABBsolutely

Cramer is bullish on ABB (ABB Quote), a Swiss power and automation technology company, because he believes that ABB will be the next big company to beat asbestos.

The stock closed Thursday at $7.83, but Cramer believes that it could go to $18 once the company gets its asbestos woes behind it.

That day may not be far off, said Cramer. ABB has already agreed to a "not too punitive" settlement with 95% of its asbestos claimants, he said.

But, just as Cramer doesn't speculate on takeovers if the fundamentals of the company aren't good, he also doesn't recommend speculating on legal outcomes unless the fundamentals of the company are good.

ABB is a worst-of-breed company, said Cramer, but it is getting its act together. The company just reported a good quarter and announced a big contract from Qatar.

The company has real earnings growth for the first time in a long time, he said.
