Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 9/30/26

  • Cramer calls housing frozen: the 30-year national average at 7.34% versus 3% five years ago
  • Lennar down 20% and KB Home down 17% year to date; Toll Brothers holds up on 25% cash buyers
  • Whirlpool suspended its dividend; Home Depot and Lowe's both hit 52-week lows
  • IPO and M&A pipelines stalled too, with Oura shelving a $2.2 billion offering

Mortgage rates at multi-decade affordability lows are draining builders, appliance makers and the home-improvement aisles at once, so holders are really running a single trade. Cramer says the group does not recover until the war ends, oil retreats and rate hikes come off the table.

A near 10% single-day drop in a mega-cap retailer like Walmart, closing at $103.10, is the kind of move that rarely shows up on a leaderboard next to small caps. Marathon Digital ran the other way, up 13.37%, with Cipher Mining also in the green.

Walmart is off 3.07% even after beating on its fiscal Q2 earnings, a sign the bar for the retail bellwether has moved higher. Rare air for a defensive name, so watch whether buyers step in before the close.

Management is spending the tariff refund windfall on lower prices in the back half, so Q3 guidance of $0.62 to $0.64 matters more than the beat. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance moved up to $2.80 to $2.87.
