AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:AZN) is one of the stocks in focus on Jim Cramer’s game plan. Cramer mentioned the company during the episode and said:

On Tuesday, we’re back in heavy earnings rotation. We’ve got DuPont, Coca-Cola, CVS Health, AstraZeneca, Datadog, and S&P Global report… Oh, also, AstraZeneca, we want every drug stock. They’re all working.

AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:AZN) manufactures prescription medicines for oncology, cardiovascular, respiratory, and rare diseases. During the January 30 episode, a caller mentioned that they were contemplating selling their position in the company’s stock for profit and buying ABBV. Cramer replied:

I like AstraZeneca very much. And that cancer franchise turned out to be a lot stronger than I thought. I think you should hold onto that. AbbVie reports this week. I expect a very good quarter. I like the dividend, but I think AstraZeneca has got a better portfolio at this very moment.
