Jim Cramer says Walmart is one of the stocks that will thrive in a ‘hybrid world’

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Wednesday unveiled a handful of stocks that he thinks will do well in the emerging “hybrid world.”

The host of “Mad Money” is betting that many people will maintain some pandemic routines as Covid-19’s health restrictions ease and more offices reopen in the coming months. That’s why Cramer advised investors to get exposure to the hybrid economy.

“We are moving towards a hybrid world where the habits of staying at home are permanent, but you also have the opportunity to get out and do things,” he said. “You have to stick to the stocks that are winning anyway.”

Cramer pointed to the following stock selections as hybrid games:

All but two of Cramer’s picks are up double digits this year, outperforming the broader market. Williams-Sonoma is the largest asset in the group, with an increase of more than 75%. Walmart and McCormick are down 3% and nearly 7% respectively in 2021.

Cramer’s recommendations came after the S&P 500 closed a record Wednesday.
