We recently published an article titled Jim Cramer Discussed 10 Stocks That Can Do Well in December.In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR) stands against the other stocks that can do well in December according to Jim Cramer.
Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, recently shared a list of ten stocks he believes will perform well in December. He pointed out that stocks that do well in November tend to continue their strong performance into the final month of the year.
Cramer explained that the beginning of a new month brings attention to the previous month’s performance, and with that, a significant influx of money flows into the market. This money, he said, tends to validate the moves of the largest stocks, creating a cycle where money is immediately put to work, often benefiting the Magnificent Seven.

Cramer also highlighted a common pattern at the end of the year, noting that people tend to make contributions to their retirement accounts when the year is going well. He emphasized that this trend is already visible in the market. When asked why a strong November often translates into a positive December, Cramer pointed to the mechanics of money management. He said that this pattern isn’t new for him, elaborating:
“Before I started my Charitable Trust more than two decades ago, I ran a hedge fund. I was always looking for an edge, and one of the most reliable patterns I found is that, when December rolls around, you mimic the biggest winners of November.”
Cramer recalled how, during his hedge fund days, he would focus on the top-performing stocks of November, buying heavily into those picks and letting them continue to perform through the end of the year. He remarked that this approach has proven to be successful year after year.
In addition to the stocks he recommended, Cramer also noted a category of stocks tied to travel. He mentioned that travel-related industries, including airlines and cruise ships, were particularly strong in November and could continue to show promise in December.
“Now, there are other[s] underneath this list, ones that involve traveling. To me, that means you could buy anything connected to travel, including the airlines… Cruise ships work… But the bottom line: If you want to know what I think could do best in the month of December, or simply what worked best in the month of November, so now you got your marching orders and I say (buy, buy, buy).”

Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 38
Cramer noted that Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR) has been prospering since the FTC blocked its deal to acquire Capri Holdings.
“Tapestry’s a rebounding apparel company and its stock is on fire thanks to Lina Khan, FTC. Yes, something you almost never hear, something positive. See, she blocked or the FTC blocked Tapestry from acquiring Capri Holdings, which owns Michael Kors. Jimmy Choo, Versace. The market hated that deal. So when Wall Street cheered, when Lina Khan shot it down, and that’s allowed, well, it’s allowed Tapestry to prosper. It’s become an up stock.”
Tapestry (NYSE:TPR) is a luxury goods company offering a wide range of branded lifestyle products, including handbags, accessories, footwear, fragrances, jewelry, home goods, and apparel. In November, it announced the termination of its merger agreement with Capri Holdings Limited. Both companies mutually agreed that halting the merger was in their best interests, given the uncertain legal outcomes and the unlikely resolution of the matter by the February 10, 2025 deadline.
Joanne Crevoiserat, CEO of Tapestry (NYSE:TPR), expressed confidence in the company’s current position, stating that investing in its own stock was the best option at this time. On November 22, the company revealed that it had entered into Accelerated Share Repurchase (ASR) agreements to repurchase $2.0 billion worth of its common stock. These agreements are part of the company’s broader $2.8 billion share repurchase program.
As part of its plan, the company expects to return over 100% of its free cash flow for fiscal 2025 to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks. The final settlement of the ASR agreements is expected by the first quarter of fiscal 2026, which ends on September 27, 2025.
