Like Goldman, Cramer also discussed memory prices and shared additional context about Best Buy Co., Inc. (NYSE:BBY)’s CEO and new TVs:

“But Corie Barry took this company through Covid, took this company through this memory shortage, took the company through terrible inflation. And I think they did a good job and I think she’s leaving at a high. This was an amazing quarter. People don’t realize it. They had, appliances are up, PCs were up, they used a lot of AI, got tied up with Google, AI. Really brought in the right merchandise. It was an excellent quarter by Best Buy. And I think that the most amazing thing, you know RGB? Red Blue and Green, TVs have Red, Blue and Green. Those are the dominant colors. And they now have that worked out to a science. That you may want to go get a new television. I’m going to get a new television because I didn’t know that they had now taken it to a new level. TV as you know it is about to change and it’s just being phased in right now.”
