In light of tariffs, a caller asked if there is a chance that companies like Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) might increase exports, which might lead to an increase in its revenue and stock price. In response, Cramer said:

“No, not a chance. Hey, they gotta make the garages bigger in Europe. I’ve been thinking about that. Now listen to me on this, okay, Ford is epoxied to 9.40 cents. You can’t pull that thing off at 9.40.”

Ford (NYSE:F) is engaged in designing, building, and servicing different types of vehicles, including trucks, cars, vans, SUVs, and luxury models under the Lincoln brand. Last week on Squawk on the Street, Cramer commented:

[Talking about an analyst downgrade] “Okay, so there’s a piece out this morning which really captures the zeitgeist of manufacturing. Ford, and it’s Bernstein, and they’re going to a sell, and they’re talking about tariffs, they’re talking about decline. Obviously, we’re going to be talking about a recession and how they do in a recession. And what it basically says is, wow, you know what, I know why this stock sells at four times earnings. And it’s a value trap. And I think it’s a most unfortunate, because Ford makes the 150 here. It’s a great product. They do assemble. We were all told, major companies like Ford were told to do some assembling here. Ford played by the rules. And because they played by the rules, they’re going to be shredded. And I think there’s a notion of, well, is that deserving? And that maybe deserves has nothing to do with it. […] I don’t like Ford. I don’t like Ford because of the warranty issue.”
