2. McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 40

McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE:MKC) was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what Mad Money’s host had to say:

“Now if you think that’s in the cards, if you think we have recession, you should really consider buying McCormick, which reports Tuesday. This spice company’s been putting up big numbers, but even better, you buy their seasonings when the economy rolls over because during a recession, people do less dining out, more cooking at home. Very positive from McCormick, which dominates the spice and seasoning aisles.”

McCormick (NYSE:MKC) manufactures and supplies a wide range of spices, seasoning blends, condiments, and other flavorful products for the food industry. In October 2024, Cramer commented:

“I think buying it right here is a very good idea… I thought that McCormick did a good job when the company was on the show… I know it’s a staple, and the staples are out of favor when the Fed cuts, but I think that they’re doing a very good job. Brendan Foley really explained the situation well.”
