Cramer highlighted it as a Charitable Trust name, as he said:While we do have a surprisingly strong consumer, that always helps. This May retail sales number we saw this morning, 0.9% rise from the previous month and a 6.9% increase from May of last year, oh, that’s healthy. Delinquencies are tame, meaning people are paying their credit card bills. That’s allowed a stock like Capital One, one of the big Charitable Trust names, which got slammed by higher oil prices, to become a virtual trampoline as it offers higher interest rate credit cards. Although it did give up a lot of today’s gains after Warsh spoke.Photo by Artem Podrez on PexelsCapital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) provides banking and financial services, including credit cards, loans, deposit accounts, and commercial banking solutions. Cramer discussed the company during the April 8 episode, as he remarked:And if you want a mainstream lender with more exposure to the mass market, I’d rather own Capital One, especially now that the Discover deal’s done. There’s a reason we own this one for the Charitable Trust, and I feel so good about it. When Capital One bought Discover, it became the largest credit card issuer by balances in the United States… Bigger scale, more diversification, more operating leverage, and more ways to win if you’re right on the consumer… If you want broader scale and a more durable credit card franchise, then it’s Capital One, COF.While we acknowledge the potential of COF as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
