Cramer’s Restaurant Buyback Play (CBRL)

September 25, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyre

On tonight’s MAD MONEY on CNBC, Jim Cramer noted about yesterday’s call for a pullback.  His bounceback candidates were the FOUR HORSEMEN OF TECH and he still thinks that, but he has another he wants to look at:

  • CBRL Group, Inc. (CBRL), the parent of Cracker Barrel.

Cramer isn’t looking at the tapped out consumer as the reason.  He thinks their own share buybacks of half of its stock was exhausted, but they just added another 1 million shares to the plan last week.  Cramer thinks this stock deserves much more credit.  He thinks a raised dividend shows it is in great shape and has consistent strong business.

We noted on this in the past about its Logan’s Roadhouse spin-off.  Cramer called this a buyback stock to watch before. Other top Cramer picks of relevance:
