We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Finds Elon Musk’s Grok AI Creepy & Discusses These 12 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.

Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) is one of the biggest waste collection and management companies in America. The shares have gained 18% year-to-date after having recovered from their 8.6% post-Liberation Day drop in April. Cramer has discussed Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) several times in his show in 2025. He believes the firm is enjoying tailwinds from President Biden's infrastructure spending and is attractive due to its domestic exposure. However,  Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM)'s shares still remain vulnerable to recessionary concerns as they reduce the demand the firm experiences for some products. In his recent remarks, Cramer called the firm "timeless," and this time, after co-host David Faber sarcastically commented that tariffs could reduce imports to the US and save the space for stuff thrown in landfills, Cramer remarked:

"I could buy Waste Management consistently because of Temu. . .well I got to find out how badly Shein's been hurt."

Cramer discussed Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) in detail earlier this year. Here is what he said:

“For some reason, road building is a big theme among the winners and that means you want to own Martin Marietta Materials. […] as well as WM, that’s the artist formerly known as Waste Management which gets a big boost from construction. […]
