Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Working on the Railroads

If Darden gets an offer, it could get taken out at a 20% premium, he said. And in case none of the private-equity guys takes an interest, Cramer said it's still a good company to own, because Darden is a broken stock, not a broken company.

Coke Not a Zero

Coca-Cola (KO Quote) CFO Gary Fayard joined Cramer on his show and stated that the reason Coke was able "to blow away" its numbers was international growth, which represented 9% for the company.

There was double-digit growth in the emerging markets and an 11% volume increase in the European volume, Fayard said. Plus, Coke Zero, he said, "is doing great." Japan is turning and is a "critical market" for Coke, Fayard continued.

When Cramer asked if it's too late for people to get in the stock, Fayard said no.

"We had a great start for the year, but if you look at the market we compete in ... it's growing faster than almost any other consumer area," Fayard said. "We still only have 20% share globally. There is still a lot of ways to grow in this industry for us."

Cramer called Coke a "great" stock and said he expects it to go "much higher."
