Cramer isn’t a fan of Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:KDP) lately after the firm announced that it would buy coffee company JDE Peet and then proceed to split into two entities. The CNBC TV host doesn’t believe that a beverage company splitting into two beverage companies is wise. Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:KDP)’s shares have lost a whopping 21% since the deal was announced, so it appears that Wall Street agrees with Jim Cramer. In this appearance, Cramer continued to opine that he doesn’t understand Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:KDP)’s latest business decision:

“Now I’ve been working on that for Mad Money and I still can’t make heads or tails of it. I’m not kidding. They’re splitting it into two beverage companies. Oh, okay. Who makes the machine?”

As for his earlier thoughts regarding Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ:KDP)’s announcement, here is what Cramer said:

“It never ends, never ends. Obviously structured very poorly, obviously I want to talk to the banker who did that, because that banker, I, ChatGPT could replace that banker in nanoseconds.

“[on stock price movement since the deal was announced]Will you look at that? . . .

“[When Faber asked just why would KDP do the deal?] Why would Smucker buy Hostess? David, David, this was a structure problem. Well I mean like obviously people hated the way they structured the deal. They don’t, you talk to yourself about how you’re splitting into a beverage company and a beverage company. I mean, hello, right, right?

“But David someone made a mistake here. And normally you would say listen, I don’t know it’s the company or the bankers but someone made a mistake. I think you need to call out. . .

“[On what was the mistake] The combination is a loser combination and the way that they break the company. . .

“[The market] just hates it. And it’s not gonna start liking it.

“But I will not hear you, you will not say this was a stupid deal, you won’t say that will you?

“Well you know like, people are being, someone’s trying to fire someone over maybe a mortgage thing, how about firing someone over an incredible loss?”
