Jim Cramer on Walmart Upcoming Earnings: “I Can’t Imagine Doug’s Last Quarter Being Anything Other Than a Great One”

Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) is one of the stocks in focus as Jim Cramer laid out this week’s game plan. Cramer noted the news of the company’s CEO retiring. He commented:

“Now, we got some jarring news this morning, really jarring for me, I don’t know why I took it so personally, the retirement of Doug McMillon, the longtime CEO of Walmart, and he’s going to be replaced by a fellow by the name of John Furner, Furner, who’s the head of Walmart’s US business.

Now, I had a special relationship with Doug, which included multiple trips with my two daughters to shop there, and I always told him about it. Doug has a remarkable interest in fighting inflation, especially high food prices. He’s done real service to his customers. I think he’s an American hero. I think he will be missed. He’s quite a gentleman. I expect a great quarter, though, because I can’t imagine Doug’s last quarter being anything other than a great one.”
