Jim Cramer Likes These 5 Stocks

4. Linde plc (NYSE:LIN)

Jim Cramer categorically called Linde Plc (NYSE:LIN) a Buy in a recent program on CNBC. He said that he was upset on the stock’s underperformance. He said the company had a strong quarter and industrial gases are a “great business.”

“Why the hell the stock is now down so much, I agree with you, I think it’s a buy,” said Cramer.

Linde is also gaining the attention of investors after analysts said that the halting of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project could benefit the company.  Baader Helvea analysts Markus Mayer and Konstantin Wiechert said in a note that the project’s halt would result in higher natural gas prices which would be compensated by higher liquefied natural gas deliveries. The analyst thinks that because the number of LNG terminals is limited, private equity and the government would fund and subsidize the sector, benefitting companies like Linde.

Impax Asset Management Ian Simm owns over 1 million shares of Linde as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. Overall, 45 funds in Insider Monkey’s database held long positions in the company at the end of 2021.
