Jim Cramer Advises Looking for Tomorrow’s Winners Among Q1’s Losers; Here Are 3 Stocks Analysts Like

With Q1 behind us, it’s time to sit back and evaluate our situation. First off, the obvious – volatility ran higher in the first quarter of the year, fueled by multiple conflicting headwinds. Those include inflation, which is still rising; a global supply chain plagued with snarls; resurgent COVID outbreaks flaring up around the world; and Russia’s war against Ukraine, that is both Europe’s largest land conflict in three generations and a major disruptor of global food and oil markets (which brings us full circle back to inflation and supply chains).

But is the picture as grim as all that? Oil prices have pulled back somewhat from the peaks they hit shortly after the Russian assault on Ukraine, and American consumers are starting to react to inflation by reducing purchase sizes. The first point may ease inflationary pressures, if only slightly; the second will not, but it might ease pressure on delivery chains as manufacturers scale back in response. “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future,” as Yogi Berra put it, and he was right; but there may still be some light at the horizon.
