Cramer Backs ADM and Tyson Foods as Buys Right Now
Jim Cramer is voicing support for Archer-Daniels-Midland and Tyson Foods, putting two beaten-down food stocks back on traders' radar.
Jim Cramer just put two names on your watchlist whether you asked for it or not. The CNBC host is saying he likes Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) and Tyson Foods right now, and in this market, a Cramer endorsement on out-of-favor names is worth at least a second look.
Both ADM and Tyson have been through the wringer. ADM spent much of the past year under a cloud after an internal accounting investigation rattled investor confidence and sent shares sliding hard. Tyson, meanwhile, has been wrestling with margin pressure, sluggish protein demand, and cost headwinds that made it a tough hold. Cramer stepping in suggests he sees the worst as priced in.

If Cramer's read is right and fundamentals are stabilizing, both stocks could see a sentiment-driven pop before the broader analyst community catches up. That's the window retail traders often play.
That said, Cramer calls have a mixed track record, and you need to do your own homework here. ADM's accounting overhang hasn't fully resolved, and Tyson still faces a competitive protein market. Position sizing matters. These aren't set-and-forget trades — they're speculative recoveries that need a tight leash.
