Cramer and analysts like Jefferies (NYSE:JEF) as Mad Money’s host expressed his bullish stance on the company in January:

“Then after the close we hear from an outfit that you may not know, but I follow pretty close. It’s called Jefferies Financial Group. This stock’s been a total winner. Get this, it ran from $39 and change this time last year to $81 today. That is stellar.

I think the change at the FTC where the chief who’s ideologically opposed to big business is about to be replaced by someone with a more traditional approach will mean many, many, many, many, many more takeovers and that means very big earnings per share for Jefferies, which consults on these deals, I wanna hear about their outlook for 2025.”
