Pepsi (PEP): stock went down almost 2 points. The quarterly report showed that the raw costs hurt the numbers in many of their domestic products, and thinks that many people are concerned that price increases will hurt sales. Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi was on the show to discuss the numbers, which she was very happy with. Nooyi thinks they can handle increased commodity costs and that earning will continue to increase.
Next, Cramer dressed up like a matador and talked about a Spanish stock. Cramer thinks that Spain has a good bull market, and that Banco Santander (STD) will prosper from its home market and the strength of the Euro compared to the US. Cramer said STD will make some acquisitions in the US and Latin America, growing and diversifying the bank's asset base. Cramer could see the stock making a 20% increase in the stock and a dividend increase as well.
Cramer took a couple of phone calls. First caller asked about Wells Fargo (WFC), and Cramer said that he likes the stock, but not as much as STD. The next caller asked about the Commerce Bank (CBH) merger, and Cramer said that the market had already priced an acquisition into the stock price in that case. The next caller asked about Banco Popular (BPOP), and Cramer said that he is not willing to buy that stock.
Sell Block
Cramer focused on the reasons you should sell Chipotle (CMG). Cramer is sad to see the stock go, but it is up 200% since he originally recommended it, and doesn't like the stock at this price.
PetSmart (PETM) CEO of the company was on the show. He discussed the fact that some of the company's sales are affected by weather patterns, and warmer weather hurts profits. Cramer still recommends the stock.
Finally, Cramer said that you should sell any Allegheny Technologies (ATI) stock you might have left from his recommendation of it last year.

On Tuesday's show, Cramer started by talking about the acquisition of Commerce Bank (CBH) by TD Bank, and how he feels that Canadian banks will buy more US regional banks because of the strength of the Canadian dollar. Cramer listed 9 other banks that he thinks could be takeover targets; National City (NCC), New York Community Bank (NYB), Comerica (CMA), KeyCorp (KEY), Hudson City Bank (HCBK), M&T Bank (MTB), BB&T (BBT), Fifth Third Bank (FITB), Capital One (COF)
CVS Caremark (CVS): Cramer thinks it was unfairly punished by Walgreen's (WAG) bad quarterly report yesterday. Cramer thinks that CVS will be able to profit for the same reason that Walgreen's had problems because of their merger with Caremark. CVS is now "best of breed" in the pharmacy sector.
Cramer then took a phone call about Wal-Mart (WMT) which he thinks is not a big factor in this sector.
After the lightning round, Cramer was looking for more overlooked IPOs. Today's pick was comScore (SCOR). This stock is the Nielsen of the web and gives companies data to help them advertise better. They are in the early stages of growth.
CEO of Perry Ellis (PERY) was on the show. Cramer thinks the stock is not for him, and asked the CEO some tough questions.
In the last segment, Cramer talked about Baidu.com (BIDU), which he said is up 136% since he recommended the stock. He "commands you" to take your cost basis out of the market to lock in profits.

After the Dow hit an all-time high yesterday, stocks were mixed on the session today. Wall Street cooled off some, with only the Nasdaq holding on to a modest gain among the three major indices. The dollar rebounded against the euro and gained versus the yen, which helped send commodity prices lower including a dip in oil and gold prices. Investors moved cautiously as they weighed the latest reading from the housing sector and sales from the nation's automakers.
In economic news, The National Association of Realtors' pending home sales index fell to a record low of 85.5 from an upwardly revised 91.4 reading in July. The drop was worse than expected by economists, who had predicted a -2% dip from the previous reading. The steep decline breaks the previous low of 89.8, which was set in September 2001, following the terrorist attacks that knocked consumer confidence. The trade group started the index in 2001.
Overall U.S. auto sales were soft in September on mixed reports from General Motors (NYSE: GM - News), which saw its overall sales of cars and light trucks edge up 0.3% in September, and Ford (NYSE: F - News), which saw sales plummet more than -20% for the same month.
On the earnings front, investors are growing increasingly impatient with smartphone pioneer Palm (Nasdaq: PALM - News) following the company's lackluster earnings release delivered after the market close yesterday. Palm announced that it had lost -$841,000, or -1 cent per share, in the first quarter on revenue that increased to $360.8 million. Palm's outlook didn't do much to raise investor confidence as the company is expecting a current quarter loss of -1 cent to -3 cents per share on revenue between $370 million and $380 million. On an adjusted basis, it expects a profit of 6-8 cents per share versus analyst estimates of 11 cents per share on sales of $413.5 million. Shares slumped -3.4%.
Shares of Pepsi Bottling Group (NYSE: PBG - News) reached an all-time high today after the largest bottler for PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP - News) reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit on Tuesday. The company said net income for the third quarter, which ended September 8th, rose 26% to $260 million, or $1.12 per share, from $207 million, or 86 cents per share, a year ago. The company also raised its full-year outlook. The stock rose 2.1%.
The M&A world saw Canada's TD Bank Financial Group (NYSE: TD - News) double its U.S. presence today when it acquired Mid-Atlantic regional bank Commerce Bancorp (NYSE: CBH - News) for $8.5 billion in cash and stock. As a result of the takeover, TD Bank will add nearly 460 branches along the East Coast when the deal closes in the spring of 2008, pending regulatory approval. Terms call for a 75% stock and 25% cash transaction that values Commerce at $42 per share, a 6% premium over the stock's closing price of $39.61 on Monday. Details have Commerce shareholders receiving 0.4142 shares of TD Bank common stock and $10.50 in cash for each share of Commerce owned.
Citigroup (NYSE: C - News) continued to reach into the world's second-largest economy by announcing earlier today that it would complete its acquisition of Japanese brokerage firm Nikko by paying $4.6 billion to buy out the remaining minority shareholders.

Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC - News), Commerce Bank (NYSE: CBH - News), IndyMac (NYSE: NDE - News), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC - News), National City (NYSE: NCC - News), SL Green (NYSE: SLG - News), CB Richard Ellis (NYSE: CBG - News): Cramer called Wells Fargo's quarter a "thing of the beauty" and commented that it was the good stock out of the good, bad and the ugly among Tuesday's bank earnings reports. The "bad" was CBH, which dropped 9% in heavy trading after it announced that it was checking some transactions involving officers. However, Cramer doesn't believe that this will have any long-term effect and that those who are confident that the Fed will cut rates may feel that CBH is "the best-run bank in North America. " It sells at twice book value, and Cramer believes it is becoming cheap. The "ugly" was IndyMac which Cramer puts in the sell category in spite of a 7% fall, since it is connected with homebuilders and subprime lenders, which are both difficult sectors. Although Cramer thinks that BAC should avoid making more acquisitions, he thinks it could buy NCC or CMA. Cramer follows CGM Funds manager Ken Heeber' s call in favor of real estate plays SLG and CBG. "Heebner owns this segment," Cramer said. "No one is better than Heebner.'

It has also decided not to exercise land option contracts on 37,000 lots, which will result in walk-away costs of around $150 million.

The company now sees earnings of $2.42 to $2.43 a share for 2006. "This segment's operating loss is due to an industry-wide inventory reduction in the fourth quarter following a mild hurricane season along with lower energy costs," the company said. That meant "an accelerated decline in selling prices that outpaced a decrease in raw material costs. In addition, the residential construction market was much weaker than expected." Previously, the company had been expecting to earn $2.50 to $2.53 a share for the year but, Lamson noted, even the lower number is still a record.
