1. Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST)

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) was among Jim Cramer’s latest stock calls, as he advised investors on how to manage data center-related stock positions. A caller asked for Cramer’s current thoughts on its “valuation and growth opportunities,” and Cramer replied:

Okay, Costco sells at 49 times earnings. That’s where it’s been, 47, 49 for the last couple of years. It’s never cheap, never ever cheap. And it is always terrific. It’s one of the longest-owning stocks we have for the Charitable Trust. And believe me, when it fell down to below $900, that was the opportunity. When it hit $850, I was nervous like everybody else. It just kept going down. But boy, I think it’s just sensational. Would I buy it right here? The answer is [buy, buy, buy].

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) operates membership warehouses and provides groceries, fresh food, household goods, electronics, and more. In addition, the company offers various services through pharmacies, gas stations, optical centers, and e-commerce options. During the April 7 episode, a caller asked about catalysts for the stock, and Cramer responded:

Okay, the catalyst, two catalysts. One is that they have the cheapest gasoline in the country. They tend to, and people sign up for gasoline, and then they sign up for the card, and the card is where the money is made. And two, they are the inflation fighter, and I don’t think a soul thinks that inflation isn’t coming back. So I like Costco for those two reasons, and it is also a lot of fun to shop at.
