On Wednesday's "Mad Money" show, Jim Cramer spoke with Hudson City Bancorp(HBCK Quote) Chairman, President and CEO Ron Hermance. Hudson City did not receive TARP funds from the government, and Hermance said that his company is doing well without them. Cramer said he supported both Hermance and Hudson City.

On Thursday, Hudson City added 49 cents, or 3.8%, to close at $13.53.

CKE Restaurants(CKR Quote) CEO Andy Puzder told Cramer that the company's flat earnings and slight same-store-sales decline were OK in the context of the current economy. He highlighted some positive outcomes from the quarter, including breakfast starting to be served at Hardee's.

Cramer suggested focusing on what was in store for CKE rather than its current situation and again recommended the stock.

On Thursday, CKE closed up 7 cents, or 0.8%, at $8.77.

In his "Lightning Round" segment, Cramer said that Yum! Brands(YUM Quote) is poised to report "great" earnings and said it's cheap. He owns the stock for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.

On Thursday, Yum! gained $1.07, or 3.3%, to $33.64.

Allscripts-Misys(MDRX Quote) is a "winner," said Cramer. "People think this is an Obama play."

Allscripts closed up $1.70, or 11.8%, at $16.08 on Thursday.

Cramer said Fortune Brands(FO Quote) is overvalued by 3 or 4 points. "Their mix of businesses isn't working right now," he said.

Fortune Brands added $1.22, or 3.6%, to $34.93 on Thursday.

Cramer said that Hexcel(HXL Quote) is "part of the Boeing(BA Quote) family, and therefore it's going to have delayed earnings since the Dreamliner isn't flying."

On Thursday, Hexcel added 11 cents, or 1.2%, to close at $9.54, while Boeing gained $1.21, or 2.9%, to $42.53.
