Jim Cramer Cautions Against Investing In World's Top Scotch Whisky Distiller: 'Getting Bad Vibes'

On CNBC’s "Mad Money Lightning Round," Jim Cramer said he is concerned about Prudential Financial, Inc. PRU, because "when I see a stock that yields 5.5 and sells at 7 times earnings, it makes me think that something’s wrong, not something’s cheap. So let’s just be careful."

Cramer recommended buying Textron Inc. TXT as the stock is "way too cheap. I don’t understand why it’s down here."

When asked about UiPath Inc. PATH, he said, "Do not touch PATH."

Cramer said he prefers Palo Alto Networks, Inc. PANW over Fortinet, Inc. FTNT. "I think that’s [PANW] going much higher," he added.
