Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! Buy Yum

Yum Brands YUM is "so good" that it's going to $76 from a recent $66.83, Jim Cramer said Friday on CNBC's "Stop Trading!" segment.

Cramer said Yum's KFC is "the dominant food in China," which is why Friday's Deutsche Bank upgrade makes sense. Cramer notes that the stock is up 20% in recent months off this spring's rodent filming at a Taco Bell in New York's Greenwich Village.

Cramer also likes Nastech NSTK and Acadia ACAD heading into next week's biotech conferences, saying that Nastech is playing a secular trend with its obesity drug and that Acadia has a treatment for Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia that doctors are excited about.

Cramer said Sanofi SNY is a "great story to trade" off next Wednesday's expected Food and Drug Administration decision on its Acomplia weight-loss drug. Cramer said the FDA "is under great pressure" on obesity.
