We recently published a list of Jim Cramer’s List of 16 Stocks to Buy Right Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:LHX) stands against other stocks on Jim Cramer’s list to buy right now.

On Monday, April 14th, Jim Cramer opened the Mad Money episode with a striking observation on the dramatic change in market sentiment and what is going on in the markets right now, saying:

“If you told me this is where the market was headed two or three months ago, I would have thought you were insane, even crazier than I am. This radical transition over the past few weeks has just been frankly unfathomable. We’re now buying stocks we hated and we’re despising, and guess what we are now selling short the stocks that we used to worship. And it’s all happening on the fly. […] You can’t tell what’s underneath though but that makes it much easier for those real seekers who want to surf the Trump ‘stock wave’.”

Cramer noted that the market’s rotation under the Trump administration has been profound, pushing investors to abandon old favorites in favor of new, domestically focused winners:

“We have to think about how to profit from this new market if it means making some pretty sharp changes to your portfolio and believe me this is something I think about every day for the club. […] See something happened this weekend that crystallized things for me. The Wall Street Journal put together this incredible chart of the stocks that are winning so far under the reign of Trump. Oh my! The extraordinary lack of economic sensitivity, the amazing America first nature of the businesses, the pure service nature of so many of these companies, they couldn’t be less like what we liked under President Biden. Rip up the old playbook; there’s a new stock sheriff in town so here’s what I did: I looked at the winners so far this year from the chart and thought about which ones were good to go, and which ones maybe needed to be demoted for a better substitute because perhaps they moved too far.”

The Mad Money host then outlined the common traits of the strongest performers and offered viewers a curated group of stocks he believes are worth buying now, saying:

“Look I’ve got no illusions after going over these companies I see several things the winners have in common. They don’t have a lot of competition, they’re largely domestic, they don’t need a strong economy, you can’t tariff them out of existence, they have scale, and most have fat margins […] Take advantage of this list. We will have down days. Keep the list handy, I’ll refer to it many times. It’s the right place to be, even in a recession, which again is a possibility given how stuck much of the economy really is right now.”
