Top Pre-Market Downgrades (AMSF, SQM, TRI, TSCO, WOOF, VOLVY)

There were not as many analysts calls today, and you will see that the upgrades and downgrades from Wall Street analysts are just not as robust as some might have expected.  Here are this Wednesday’s early bird downgrades:

  • Amerisafe (NASDAQ: AMSF) Cut to Perform at Oppenheimer.
  • Sociedad Quimica (NYSE: SQM) Cut to Neutral at JPMorgan.
  • Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI) Cut To Sector Perform By Scotia
  • Tractor Supply (NASDAQ: TSCO) Cut to Neutral at Piper Jaffray.
  • VCA Antech (NASDAQ: WOOF) Cut to Market Perform at Morgan Keegan.
  • Volvo (NASDAQ: VOLVY) Cut to Sell at UBS.

Cramer’s “Wild Bull Market Stock Picks”

Stock Tickers: DE, MON, SQM, CAT, TEX, MTW, FWLT, MDR, JEC, BA, UTX

Cramer tonight discussed where the wild bull markets are that you want to be in.  He has six bull markets.

1) Agriculture: the subsidies bring in $55 Billion in revenues to large farm companies alone. His 3 picks in this are Deere (DE), Monsanto (MON), and Sociedad QM (SQM).

2) Machinery: his pick is Caterpillar (CAT); Cramer also likes Terex (TEX) and likes Manitowoc (MTW), but he said CAT’s the best of breed pick and that’s the one he wants.

3) Infrastructure, perhaps the most wild bull market: the two cheapest after the big runs are Foster-Wheeler (FWLT) and McDermott (MDR), both of which he has been behind for large runs. All the asbestos issues are behind the companies and they are very undercovered on Wall Street.  Jacobs Engineering (JEC) is the runner up.

4) Aerospace: Cramer’s pick is Boeing (BA) as it should be up more than it is, particularly after Airbus woes.  He said he likes United Tech (UTX) but the best is Boeing and Boeing is now going north of $100.00.
