Jim Cramer picks his favorite travel, restaurant, live entertainment and gym stocks

• “Just be careful and stick to the ones with good execution, meaning stay away from Southwest Airlines – they’re ailing after a huge holiday service breakdown,” he said.

Marriott International

• The stock is still cheap despite its run since the end of September, according to Cramer.

Hilton Worldwide

• “I’ve been coming around in Hilton Worldwide, which is expected to have a phenomenal 23% earnings growth this year,” he said.

Airbnb

Cramer said that he expects Airbnb’s stock price to eventually reflect the company’s “terrific” business.

Hertz

• The rental car company’s 2023 earnings estimates are too low, according to Cramer.

American Express

• He said he’d be a buyer of the stock at its current level.

• Cramer said he likes that the company owns higher-end restaurants and has a portfolio that includes Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse and The Capital Grille.

Starbucks

• The coffeemaker’s mission to become the place where people spend the most time outside of the home and office is compelling during the current era of hybrid work, he said.

Sysco

• Buying shares of food suppliers is another way to play the restaurant industry, Cramer said.

The company is “growing like a weed,” he said.

Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts

• “I like them because they have exposure to both the U.S. and China,” Cramer said.

VICI Properties

• He said that investors could also go with the casino real estate investment trust for a live entertainment play in their portfolios.

Bowlero

• Cramer said that he likes the bowling center company as a more low-key option for investors.

• “I like Planet Fitness, you know that, but you’ve got my blessing to speculate on Xponential Fitness …  which is a higher-risk, higher reward situation,” he said.
