RH : Stifel started coverage of the company formerly named Restoration Hardware with a buy and a $315-per-share price target. CEO Gary Friedman sees an inflection point. “I don’t want to bet against Gary,” Cramer said. “He’s bought a huge amount of stock.” Intel : The struggling chipmaker was trying to rally for the fifth session in a row. Cramer said he’s not a fan of the stock but “every dog has its day.” Netflix : Cowen increased its price target on the stock ahead of earnings next week. “There’s nothing new driving that damn stock,” Cramer said. “It doesn’t matter, though.” Smurfit Westrock : Stifel started coverage of the paper-based packaging company with a buy rating and a $65.70-per-share price target. “There’s been tremendous consolidation in that industry.
