CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday outlined his game plan for next week after Wall Street concluded its first five trading sessions of 2022.
The “Mad Money” host said it’s “a bit of an odd time” for markets right now, “almost as if many stocks have to take their medicine and then get back on track. “
“This week we saw the unprofitable techs get a drubbing, which then spread into the more mature, profitable ones,” Cramer said.

Here’s what Cramer is watching for next week. All revenue and earnings estimates are from FactSet.
