Cramer’s Weak Dollar Play 2 (TXT, HON)

September 25, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyre

Another pick that Cramer gave on CNBC’s MAD MONEY tonight as the "escape from the dollar and the U.S. consumer" and corporate refugee series is:

  • Textron (NYSE:TXT) now at 40% of international sales coming from overseas and its exposure is still growing.

When Cramer read about Honeywell (NYSE:HON) he learned about a major aircraft spending coming more and more, and the Honeywell sales will help Textron as international demand for business jets will be more than in the US.  This will yield a fleet expansion or replacement phase of 38% and they want the Cessna planes from Textron.  The new military business budget also comes out tomorrow.  Textron could be a takeover target based upon its forward business that a foreign company could acquire.

Last night Cramer said Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) was the winner taking the weak dollar into its own hands.
