Jim Cramer, a famous investor, expects TJX Companies and Wells Fargo to be strong performers in 2025.
Both stocks are on course to close this year with gains of over 30%. Mad Money’s host is still convinced that both stocks are not out of steam just yet.
Here’s why Cramer believes WFC and TJX will have another stellar year.
Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE: WFC)
Jim Cramer believes that next year will be “much better” for Wells Fargo, as it is widely expected that the regulatory environment will become more lenient with Donald Trump as President of the United States.
He’s optimistic because the new government could even decide to remove the $1.95 billion asset cap that has been a burden on WFC for many years.
“It’s hard to believe that regulators will continue this foolishness in 2025. Wells Fargo’s activities have been capped, but the bank has still achieved a lot. It’s impossible that lifting this restriction will not affect the stock price,” he said to members of his Investing Club.
WFC could also benefit from a more accommodative regulatory approach under the Trump administration.
Jim Cramer said that Wells Fargo would also benefit from the US Federal Reserve’s continued efforts to lower interest rates and stimulate borrowing.
Wells Fargo’s stock pays a healthy dividend of 2.27%, which is another reason to include it in your portfolio. Wall Street has given WFC shares a consensus rating of “overweight”.
TJX Companies Inc. (NYSE: TJX).
Jim Cramer believes TJX will have a strong year in 2025, as it could be a beneficiary of an increase in tariffs when Donald Trump becomes president in January.
Trump’s tariffs on trade could result in higher prices at traditional retailers. This would cause consumers to turn to discount names like TJ Maxx to find affordable products. He argued that this could lead to a strong footfall and increased sales for the Framingham-based chain of discount department store chains.
Mad Money host also cited operational expertise and expertise in inventory as reasons why TJX’s stock price could rise further in 2025.
TJX Companies has increased its stakes in two discount retailers in Mexico and the Middle East in this year. This could also help unlock more upside in the share price.
The New York-listed firm easily surpassed Street estimates in its most recent reported quarter. This shows that its “values, and treasure hunt shopping experiences are appealing to a broad range of customers.”
Like WFC, shares in this discount retailer pay a dividend yield at writing of 1.24%. This makes them even more attractive to income investors. Wall Street sees TJX stock as having a 10% increase to $134.
