Jim Cramer Is 'A Seller' Of This Company Because 'Elon Musk Said That He Doesn't Like That Business'

On CNBC’s "Mad Money Lightning Round," Jim Cramer said Abbott Laboratories ABT is a "very good company and will be up to the—let’s say—up to the challenge. I think that’s fair. You’re getting a premium company at a very low multiple that is doing a lot right."

When asked about Herbalife Ltd. HLF, he said, "That ship has sailed, frankly, I’m moving on from that one." The company’s stock has lost more than 9% over the past six months.

Cramer said he prefers Honeywell International Inc. HON over Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. SPR.

"Let’s just stick away from CVS Health Corporation CVS," Cramer said.
