Jim Cramer on PNC Financial: “I Prefer the Other Bank Stocks”

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:PNC) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer finished his game plan with the company, as he commented:

“On Friday, we get a big bank break when we can focus on just PNC, a regional bank that’s been an up-and-down performer after years where it did nothing but go up. I prefer the other bank stocks. Now, the beginning of earnings season sets the tone for a bushel of quarters ahead. It makes sense. The banks always kick things off, and it’s reasonable to extrapolate all sorts of trends for consumers, right, and corporations from the financials.”
