Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Foreign-Favorites List Grows

Stock quotes in this article: NTLI , SLB , RIG , GS , MRLV , ADBE , TYC , RIO , ATI , VFC  

After evaluating the divisions, Cramer said he set up a basket of comparable businesses to find the multiples that market players are paying for similar stocks. Further, he took the average multiple, plugged it in and came up with a conservative analysis that Tyco's breakup should account for a 10% upside in the stock.

VF Flyer

Few companies have been as reliable as VF Corp. (VFC Quote), Cramer said. But today the company's skeptics came out after it announced the sale of its underperforming Fruit of the Loom business, he said.

Cramer welcomed Mackey McDonald, the company's chairman and CEO, to the show and asked him to comment on the deal.

"Today's announcement is a big step forward," McDonald said. It is going to help the company improve its organic growth rate and VF's margins, he said.

Further, McDonald said the sale should allow VF to focus on its higher-growth businesses and to improve shareholder returns.

Cramer advised market players to back up the truck* and buy VF shares now.
