Jim Cramer Says “FMC is a Really Interesting Story”

FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar. A caller inquired if the company is the one to go for or if there is a better option in the sector. Here’s what Mad Money’s host had to say in response:

“Okay, FMC is a really interesting story because tonight, the president put a 50% tariff on Brazil. Brazil is an agricultural competitor to us. FMC is an agricultural, fungicide. They do a lot of different stuff to be able to make it so the harvest comes out. And I’d like to know before I opine on it, what that 50% tariff will mean for their business. So this is a work in progress. I wish I knew, but I don’t want to cuff it after what happened tonight, which was very dramatic.”

FMC (NYSE:FMC) develops and sells crop protection products such as insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and biologicals that are aimed at improving agricultural yield and quality. In February, Cramer discussed the stock, as he said:

“There’s a company called FMC. And that’s an agricultural company. It’s an old food machinery company, it’s based in Philadelphia. And the stock is down 35% today because they have inventory problems. Too much of the crop chemicals used for . . . corn, potatoes, and sorghum. I just remind that there certain industries that are in this economy that are seemed to just, I don’t know we have to stay close to ag. That’s a very very bad number. And I’m kind of shocked because it’s a pretty reliable company. But the ag business maybe not as great as we think judging from the fact that they have a lot of insecticides, herbicides. So, stay close to ag.”
