Did you miss last night's "Mad Money" on CNBC? If so, here are Jim Cramer's top takeaways for today's trading.
Radius Health (RDUS) - Get Report: In an exclusive interview, Cramer sat down with Bob Ward, president and CEO of Radius Health, the biotech that fell sharply by 11% today after the company announced a three-month delay for an FDA filing. Shares of Radius remain up 58% for 2015.
Ward said that today was a historic day for Radius because his company filed for European approval of its osteoporosis drug.
As for the U.S. filing delay, Ward explained the 12-month stability data for the drug will be completed in December. Rather than rush to file in December, the company opted to file in the first quarter of 2016.
Ward said Radius has everything needed to submit for U.S. approval and will do so as soon as possible, including following up with a line extension for a version of the drug that can be worn as a patch, rather than an injection.
Radius also continues to make early progress on its cancer treatment, RAD1901.
Cramer said today's big decline represents a buying opportunity for Radius.
TJX Stores (TJX) - Get Report, Home Depot (HD) - Get Report and Walmart (WMT) - Get Report: Don't write off the American consumer just yet. While it's clear that they're not shopping at Macy's (M) - Get Report or Nordstrom (JWN) - Get Report , strong earnings from TJX, Home Depot and Walmart (WMT) - Get Report tell a different story.
Is the consumer shifting his or her behavior? Not buying apparel? Or maybe just not shopping at the mall? Cramer said when looking at the retailers that are winning, a few patterns emerge.
First, all of the retailers who posted strong results are not located in the mall. Second, the winners are either selling brand names for less or, in the case of Home Depot, are tied to spending on your home. Third, the strongest retailers all have a strong online presence.
What should investors make of Walmart's results? Cramer said the early changes Walmart has made to turn itself around might indeed be bearing fruit, although it's still too early to know for sure.
