On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer said United Parcel Service, Inc. UPS has “screwed up a lot of holiday seasons.” He prefers FedEx Corporation FDX over UPS.

It's time to take profits in Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ: OMER), Cramer said.

On Nov. 13, Omeros reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings results.

When asked about Lockheed Martin Corporation LMT, he said, “I would not touch this thing until it broke 500. But it's run by Jim Taiclet [CEO of Lockheed Martin], and he's really fabulous.”

On Oct. 22, the company reported net sales growth of 1.3% year-over-year to $17.104 billion, missing the consensus of $17.351 billion. Adjusted EPS of $6.84, up from $6.77 in the prior year, topped the consensus of $6.50.

“I actually think these stocks have over-heated, and I am worried about a strong unemployment number on Friday,” Cramer said when asked about Archer Aviation Inc. ACHR.

On Nov. 7, Archer Aviation reported better-than-expected third-quarter earnings results.

The “Mad Money” host recommended taking a pass on AstraZeneca PLC AZN. “There's just been a series of disappointments. I don't know what to make of it,” he added.

On Nov. 12, AstraZeneca reported third-quarter sales of $13.57 billion, up 18% year over year (+21% at constant currency), beating the consensus of $13.09 billion. The company's adjusted EPADS reached $1.04, beating the consensus of $1.03. The adjusted EPS was $2.08 (1 ADR = 2 Common Shares).
