Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) is a discount retailer that is one of Cramer’s most frequently discussed stocks. Before the tariff devastation on Thursday and Friday, he praised the firm and outlined that Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST), along with Walmart, could thrive in an inflationary era due to its scale. As investors bled trillions, here’s what he said about the retailer:

“Costco. Huge winner. Why? Because they have a club. The club’s [inaudible] is to pass on anything and it’s still gonna be cheaper. So we cannot lump all these together. We lump them initially. Costco’s gonna be down as much as. Target. But then we have to come back and say maybe Target should stay down but Costco should go up. So there’s like a secondary look at things.”

“We buy gold every week from Costco. Every week. We buy the actual physical gold. We don’t store it in our house, put it in a safety deposit box.”
