A caller asked if the upcoming stock split will boost O’Reilly Automotive, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:ORLY) stock higher. Cramer replied:

“No, and what you want to do is you want to buy the one that’s not going to stock split, which is AutoZone, AZO. Take a look at that chart. Well, you’ll see a real nice move.”

O’Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:ORLY) supplies aftermarket auto parts, tools, and accessories. The company provides new and remanufactured products, repair services, and support for both DIY customers and professionals working on various domestic and imported vehicles. Recounting stocks that had the biggest gains over the last 20 years in April, Cramer stated:

“The 20th best performing stock in the Mad Money era is the name we know well, it’s called O’Reilly Automotive. It’s up 5,292%. Now, this company, alongside AutoZone, another one I really like, has emerged as a strong duopoly in the auto parts retail space. Why do I like this so much? Okay, you know what I love about it? It’s still fresh.

I recommended it again just three weeks ago. Why? Because I think the auto parts stocks will thrive once the auto tariffs kick in. New cars and used cars will get much more expensive, which means you’ll need new parts to keep your old car on the road. Plus, O’Reilly’s been a voracious buyer of its own stock. Get this, it has shrunk its share count by nearly two-thirds since the end of 2010. Very similar by the way to AZO, AutoZone.”
