CNBC’s Jim Cramer predicts another strong week for corporate earnings — naming Coca-Cola, GE Aerospace, and T-Mobile among his top bullish calls — as skeptics “hold their nose” during a market rally that keeps proving them wrong.

Cramer’s Optimism on the Next Earnings Wave

As the bull market marks its third anniversary, Jim Cramer said he expects companies to post better-than-expected earnings next week, dismissing bearish sentiment as misplaced pessimism.

“The bears will hold their nose, hide their eyes, and disengage their brains once again as next week progresses, because it should be another good one for earnings,” Cramer said on CNBC’s Mad Money.

He emphasized that earnings remain the true driver of stock performance, adding:

“Earnings, not anything else, are what really drive stocks lower. Or in this case, higher.”

Cramer’s Earnings Game Plan

Cramer outlined his “game plan” for next week’s corporate earnings, spotlighting companies across key sectors — from steel and banking to tech, aerospace, and consumer goods.

Monday: Cleveland-Cliffs & Zions Bank

  • Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) will provide early insight into the real economy’s health, according to Cramer.
  • Zions Bancorporation (ZION) reports after the close; Cramer said he wants clarity on its bad loan disclosures and whether broader banking weakness is emerging.

Tuesday: GE Aerospace, Coca-Cola & 3M

  • GE Aerospace (GE) and Coca-Cola (KO) are expected to beat forecasts, with Coke dubbed the “most consistent of the packaged goods stocks.”
  • 3M (MMM) could surprise to the upside, while Danaher (DHR) may finally end its multi-year slump with a strong quarter.
  • Capital One (COF) could follow American Express’ (AXP) strong quarter after completing its Discover acquisition.

Wednesday: Vertiv, GE Vernova & IBM

  • Vertiv (VRT), a data center builder, is poised to post “excellent” results, Cramer said.
  • GE Vernova (GEV), a turbine manufacturer for those centers, could be entering a multi-year growth cycle.
  • IBM (IBM) will likely prove critics wrong, with CEO Arvind Krishna leading what Cramer called “the best quantum computing campaign on Earth.”

Thursday: Blackstone, Freeport-McMoRan & T-Mobile

  • Blackstone (BX) could post a strong quarter thanks to its data center exposure.
  • Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) may rally despite a recent mining incident in Indonesia, Cramer noted.
  • T-Mobile (TMUS) is likely to benefit from record iPhone sales, a trend that could also boost Apple (AAPL) ahead of its month-end earnings.

Friday: Procter & Gamble

  • Procter & Gamble (PG), which Cramer said has been in a “real house of pain,” may have finally bottomed and could deliver a turnaround quarter.

Why Cramer’s Still Bullish

Cramer said skeptics have repeatedly underestimated corporate strength and market resilience.

“The real losers in this market are the skeptics who keep missing phenomenal moves,” he said.

Despite ongoing macro uncertainty — including tariff risks and high bond yields — Cramer believes earnings momentum will continue to drive the market higher as corporate performance beats expectations across sectors.

Jim Cramer’s message is clear: ignore the noise, watch the numbers.
With the bull market entering its fourth year, he expects another earnings-fueled rally — and warns that bearish investors risk missing yet another “phenomenal move” as the market’s strength continues to defy doubters.
