We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Discussed These 12 Stocks Recently. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently.
Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, recently examined the latest market trends, highlighting some important themes where stocks have faced challenges, especially those reliant on business with China.
He pointed out that certain stocks often experience significant drops after earnings reports, a trend he has observed consistently. However, Cramer cautioned that finding buying opportunities from these dips is not always as simple as it may seem. While these stocks might appear attractive when they get hit, he emphasized that they are typically impacted unjustifiably, suggesting that if you buy them whenever they drop, you would likely see positive returns. He added:
“So you’re probably saying, can it really be that easy? I mean, why aren’t I a millionaire? Well, I’ll tell you why. Because there are landmines, real landmines in the yellow brick road times when the dips are milling at the beginning so I’m gonna spell those out for you too.”

One of the first questions Cramer believes investors should ask themselves is whether a stock is tied to China in any way. This dependency, he mentioned, has severely impacted many companies recently. Cramer also pointed out that retailers, especially department stores, have taken a hit, as well as companies in the chemical sector, which heavily rely on Chinese demand. According to Cramer, these businesses need orders from China to stay afloat, making them vulnerable to fluctuations in that market.
Another factor Cramer highlighted is the growing impact of GLP-1 drugs, which have the potential to curb cravings for certain food products. Cramer pointed to beloved brands like Hershey, Oreos, and Fruit Loops, among others, which are now facing challenges as these drugs reduce consumer desire for such treats. He noted that with demand for these products waning, the stocks of companies producing them are suffering.
“Bottom line: Always remember that there are indeed Teflon stocks in any market. The key? Don’t buy them unless and until they get knocked down and then remember they’ll get up again. You are never gonna keep them down.”

Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR)
Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 38
Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR) was discussed during the episode and this is what Cramer said about the company:
“Let’s expand it. Does it sell in department stores? Capri, PVH, Tapestry, sold… Nothing’s foolproof.”
Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR) is a luxury brand company that provides a diverse selection of lifestyle products, such as handbags, accessories, footwear, fragrances, jewelry, home items, and clothing. In December 2024, Cramer noted the positive effect of FTC’s decision to shut down the company’s acquisition of 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.”
