Jim Cramer thinks that the bond market now offers a clearer risk-reward trade-off than so-called "safety" stocks, warning that rising 10-year Treasury yields and a political "wild card" in Washington make even dividend stalwarts feel shaky.
What Happened: The 10-year Treasury yield's jump to its highest level in more than a month has tightened the spread between bond payouts and blue-chip dividends, dulling the appeal of AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Procter &amp; Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) and Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CL#NYSE">CL</a>), Cramer <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/14/jim-cramer-explains-why-its-hard-to-own-usual-safety-stocks-here.html">told</a> CNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Mad Money&#8217; viewers on Wednesday.
"In a very uncertain tape for what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44809259/3-safe-dividend-stocks-as-investors-seek-to-reset-diversification">used to be called</a> ‘safety stocks,' I'd rather just own a piece of paper like the 10-year Treasury, where, if worst comes to worst, at least I get my money back," Cramer said.
Cramer flagged Robert F. Kennedy Jr., newly installed as Health and Human Services secretary, as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42254495/trumps-hhs-pick-rfk-jr-has-a-long-history-of-challenging-global-health-policies">unpredictable force</a> who could clamp down on pharmaceutical pricing and food additives. "Investors don't know whether Kennedy will act in favor of the companies he's tasked with regulating," he cautioned.

What To Know: That uncertainty compounds existing headaches. Johnson &amp; Johnson is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44586129/us-judge-rejects-another-johnson-johnson-attempt-to-use-bankruptcy-for-talc-cancer-claims">still wrestling</a> with talc-related lawsuits that have already cost billions in settlements and reserves, a cloud Wall Street <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44920880/expert-flags-never-before-observed-trio-falling-stocks-and-short-yields-bucking-rising-long-yields-nothing-is-normal-about-this">fears could grow</a> heavier if bond yields <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45399783/gordon-johnson-warns-of-potential-liberation-day-20-as-30-year-treasury-yields-approach-5-amid-dollar-weakness?utm_source=chatgpt.com">keep luring</a> income-seekers away. AbbVie's rich dividend likewise looks less generous when a risk-free Treasury pays nearly the same rate with zero headline risk.
Consumer staples aren't immune either, says Cramer. Procter &amp; Gamble and Colgate boast recession-proof brands, yet their 2–3% yields no longer tower over Treasuries, and Cramer said "the yields may simply not be high enough to justify the risk."
Snack titan PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) and cereal maker General Mills (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) could also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/11/42144709/kennedys-war-on-food-dyes-could-be-coming-to-your-breakfast-table">come under fire</a> if Kennedy pushes to restrict artificial colors and other additives, Cramer warned, asking rhetorically whether kids would still eat Lucky Charms without its rainbow marshmallows.
Why It Matters: For now, Cramer said he is "tempted to buy General Mills" on weakness, but fears Washington's next pitch more than the stock's upside.
Cramer also told "Mad Money" viewers that recession worries can be a buying opportunity, saying high-quality retailers look cheap so long as you don't think the economy will "fall off a cliff." Despite earlier warning, the sector was in the trade-war "blast radius," he now does have a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45416455/jim-cramer-says-these-retail-stocks-rl-gap-can-survive-a-market-correction">couple of clear favorites</a> to scoop up on any dip.

Jim Cramer Says Even 'Safety' Stocks Look Risky, Warns Of 'Wild Card' In Washington And Rising Treasury Yields As Reasons To Stay Away From Sure Bets

The latest round of the U.S.-China tariffs are "destructive" to American small businesses, investor and "Shark Tank" star <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43978834/kevin-oleary-says-government-needs-more-more-cutting-urges-slashing-and-hacking-to-fix-federal-spending">Kevin O'Leary</a> said on <a href="https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/cnc/date/2025-04-22/segment/04">CNN</a> on April 22.
His remarks come amid escalating trade tensions between the two countries. On April 9, the White House <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/04/modifying-reciprocal-tariff-rates-to-reflect-trading-partner-retaliation-and-alignment/">announced</a> a tariff hike on Chinese goods from 84% to 125%. The next day, China's Ministry of Commerce hit back with an 84% tariff on U.S. products.

He said, "So, I&#8217;m very happy that some administration, this one particularly, is taking them on to resolve this problem once and for all. And [Chinese President Xi Jinping] needs the U.S. and the U.S. needs Xi. So, let&#8217;s get this thing resolved. I&#8217;m OK with the volatility." He also urged policymakers to "circle the wagons" with U.S. allies.&nbsp;
O'Leary described the current market swings as a necessary step toward addressing what he called decades of imbalanced trade practices. He also proposed a 400% blanket tariff, emphasizing that "only shock therapy forces change."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs, Tensions And The Toll</h2>
O'Leary's frustration stems from firsthand experience. "I'm an example of someone who's really been screwed by the Chinese in IP. theft," he said, emphasizing a need to focus on policy over personality.

'I'm OK With The Volatility' — Kevin O'Leary Defends Trump Tariffs And Urges U.S. To 'Circle The Wagons' Against China

Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Atlantic, is speaking out about what he calls the &#8220;erratic&#8221; and &#8220;unpredictable&#8221; actions of President Donald Trump, warning that these policies may lead to the U.S. being sidelined in future global power dynamics.&nbsp;
Branson made the remarks during a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/apr/23/richard-branson-accuses-trump-of-doing-so-much-damage-to-the-world">press event</a> on April 23, ahead of Virgin Atlantic's inaugural flight from London to Riyadh, where he raised concerns about the long-term effects of Trump's leadership on international business and global alliances.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Policies Could Isolate The U.S.</h2>
Branson has long been critical of Trump's global approach, but his recent comments during the event highlighted a growing fear that America&#8217;s leadership on the world stage could slip.
&#8220;I honestly think this is a fairly small elite around Trump. I don't think he is carrying the vast majority of Americans in what he is doing,&#8221; Branson said.&nbsp;
His concerns centered around how Trump&#8217;s policies were &#8220;doing so much damage&#8221; to relationships between countries, particularly regarding the situation in Ukraine, which he considers one of the most troubling aspects of the U.S. administration&#8217;s foreign policy.
Branson suggested that the U.S.&#8217;s unpredictable political environment was causing uncertainty for businesses and alienating international partners, with the potential for the U.S. to be excluded from future global alliances.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Toll Of Trump's Trade Policies</h2>
Branson's discontent with the administration also extended to trade policies. The Trump administration&#8217;s aggressive tariffs, including a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, have created ripple effects across the global supply chain, driving up costs for businesses.&nbsp;
According to an article on Business Insider, small businesses dependent on Chinese goods are at risk of bankruptcy due to these tariffs, which have significantly disrupted their operations.
Companies such as <a href="https://investors.pepsico.com/docs/default-source/investors/q1-2025/q1-2025-earnings-release_qrwd2bctzikuphl4.pdf">PepsiCo</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NYSE">PEP</a>) and<a href="https://us.pg.com/newsroom/news-releases/PG-Announces-Fiscal-Year-2025-Third-Quarter-Results/"> Procter &amp; Gamble</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) have adjusted their earnings forecasts, citing increased production costs from the tariffs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shifting Global Alliances</h2>
Branson's warning about the U.S. facing exclusion from global alliances is not an isolated concern.&nbsp;
The U.S.&#8217;s confrontational approach to international relations has led countries such as China, Canada and the European Union to explore new alliances outside of the U.S. influence.&nbsp;
Tadashi Yanai, the CEO of Fast Retailing, echoed similar concerns, telling <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-10/trump-tariffs-will-lead-to-us-isolation-fast-retailing-ceo-says">Bloomberg </a>that the U.S. may find itself increasingly isolated from global economic progress if current policies continue.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Virgin Atlantic's Expanding Global Reach</h2>
Despite geopolitical challenges, Virgin Atlantic is pressing forward with its expansion. The airline's launch of direct flights to Riyadh reflects Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify its economy and attract more international business.&nbsp;
Branson defended Virgin's decision to expand into the Saudi market, saying that while the kingdom still faces significant human rights challenges, it has made strides in recent years, <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/middle-east-travel/saudi-arabia/virgin-atlantic-heathrow-riyadh-k2spb906g">The Times of London</a> reported.

Procter & Gamble's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Beverage giant Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) could provide investors with updated guidance given the potential impact of global tariffs when the company reports first-quarter financial results Tuesday before the market opens<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">.</a>
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Coca-Cola to report first-quarter revenue of $11.14 billion, down from $11.30 billion, according to data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0428">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in more than 10 straight quarters.
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings per share of 72 cents, in line with the 72 cents reported in last year's first quarter.
The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in four straight quarters and in eight of the last 10 quarters overall, with the other two quarters meeting analyst estimates.

What Experts Are Saying: Momentum for Coca-Cola could be fading with rival PepsiCo Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) and consumer staple Procter &amp; Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) recently seeing shares fall after quarterly results, Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods warns.
"Coca-Cola shares have been a safe haven and a steady gainer during these uncertain times. Shares are up over 15.5% year-to-date, as the consumer staple giant and Warren Buffett favorite outperforms the overall market," Woods said in his weekly <a href="https://jaywoods.substack.com/">newsletter</a>.
Woods said Coca-Cola stock now sits "at an interesting level" ahead of earnings with a reversal pattern formed.
"The safe trade in KO has lost momentum on each rally as seen in the lower highs of its RSI."
Woods warned that the upside move in Coca-Cola stock may have already been made and the stock could retreat to "a level between $67 and $70."
Goldman Sachs analyst Bonnie Herzog said Coca-Cola management <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/price-target/25/03/44402637/coca-cola-can-adapt-despite-pullback-in-consumer-spending-says-analyst">had an optimistic outlook</a> in March. The analyst kept a Neutral rating and $65 price target after the investor meetings.
Herzog said Coca-Cola's "all-weather" strategy is working, but highlighted the impact inflation could have for consumers with affordability a potential top-of-mind idea at grocery stores. A pullback in consumer spending is one item of concern for the Coca-Cola analyst.
Key Items to Watch: Coca-Cola's report comes after PepsiCo reported mixed first-quarter results with revenue of $17.92 billion, beating Street consensus estimates and earnings per share of $1.48, missing a $1.49 Street consensus estimate.
Both revenue and earnings per share were down year-over-year for PepsiCo<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44977669/pepsico-ceo-warns-of-tariffs-led-increase-in-supply-chain-costs-cuts-annual-profit-outlook"> in the quarter</a>. This represented the first earnings per share miss by Pepsi in more than 10 quarters.
While looking at PepsiCo's financial results, it might be important to look at how their beverage segments performed and strip out its snack food divisions. The company saw declines for segments like PepsiCo Foods North America and Latin America Foods.
On the beverage side, PepsiCo Beverages North America had flat year-over-year sales and International Beverage Franchise segment sales were up 3% year-over-year.
Pepsi did cut its guidance after the results, which will be a key item to watch in Coca-Cola's report. Coca-Cola<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43759161/coca-cola-warns-trumps-tariffs-could-force-it-to-use-more-plastic-if-aluminium-cans-become-more-expensive-we-can-shift-to-pet"> previously said </a>that plans by President Donald Trump to place tariffs on aluminum could make its cost of goods more expensive.
Coca-Cola's guidance and management commentary will be closely watched by investors and analysts to see what is said about tariffs and their potential impact,
Questions during the earnings call could also start to ask the beverage company about the potential long-term impact of plans to ban color dyes in the U.S. by the Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
While Coca-Cola stock will be highly volatile on Tuesday after the earnings report, the stock could also send shares of other beverage and consumer goods up or down based on the results and commentary.
Coca-Cola is also a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, putting ETFs like the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) into the spotlight.
Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) are also large shareholders of Coca-Cola stock, which could make the conglomerate company's stock a fast mover on Tuesday.
Price Action: Coca-Cola stock is trading at $71.79 on Monday morning versus a 52-week trading range of $60.62 to $74.38. The stock is up 15.8% year-to-date and up 15.4% over the last year.
Meanwhile rival PepsiCo stock trades at $134.39 Monday morning versus a 52-week trading range of $131.80 to $183.39. The stock is down 11.7% year-to-date and down 23.8% over the last year.

Wall Street Bets On Bulls, Not Tariffs, As Rare 'Breadth Thrust' Lifts Stocks

B of A Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillane on Friday, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PG/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">reiterated a Buy rating</a> on Procter &amp; Gamble CO (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) stock, and lowered the price forecast from $190.00 to $180.00.
PG's strong <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44984872/gillette-parent-procter-gamble-slides-on-q3-sales-decline-lowered-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter performance</a> was overshadowed by concerns over potential U.S. tariffs, which could cost the company $1 billion to $1.5 billion annually.
The analyst states that despite a 3.7% stock drop, PG believes it can offset the impact through favorable foreign exchange, lower input costs, and strategic pricing.

While category growth has softened slightly, core consumer demand remains stable. PG also reports positive momentum in China and Latin America.
Procter &amp; Gamble's reduced FY25 outlook reflects early tariff impacts and slower growth, but FY26 could see more upside if tariffs are eased and global consumer trends improve amid economic uncertainty.
The analyst has reduced the EPS projections for FY25 and FY26 due to expected margin compression. Fourth-quarter organic sales estimate has been slightly adjusted to a 1.9% increase based on flat volumes and 2% pricing growth.
The analyst has trimmed the fourth-quarter gross margin forecast by 30 basis points to 51.1%, down 10 basis points year-over-year, and cut EPS estimate by 9 cents to $1.44.
For FY25, the analyst has lowered gross margin expectations by 30 basis points to 51.6%, reflecting potential one-month tariff costs between $100 million and $160 million. The analyst has also reduced the sales and margin outlooks for FY26 and FY27 due to ongoing tariff pressures and slower category growth.
Price Action: PG shares traded higher by 1.04% at $161.16 at last check Friday.

Organic sales increased by 1%, driven by higher pricing. Sales in the Beauty and the Grooming segment dropped 2%, and Health Care remained flat.

Gross profit fell 2.5% Y/Y to $10.08 billion. The reported gross margin decreased by 20 basis points to 50.9%.
Operating margin expanded 100 basis points to 23%, while operating income for the quarter improved 2.2% to $4.55 billion.
The company returned $3.8 billion of cash to shareowners via $2.4 billion of dividend payments and $1.4 billion of share repurchases in the quarter.
P&amp;G held $10.23 billion in cash and equivalents at December-end. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $3.7 billion.
"We're making appropriate adjustments to our near-term outlook to reflect underlying market conditions while remaining confident in the longer-term growth prospects for our brands and the markets where we compete," said Board Chairman, President, and CEO&nbsp;Jon Moeller.
"Our first-half results keep us on track to deliver within our guidance ranges on all key financial metrics for the fiscal year."
Outlook: P&amp;G expects all-in sales for fiscal 2025 to be approximately in line with the prior year and organic sales growth of 2%.
P&amp;G lowered the adjusted EPS outlook from $6.91 – $7.05 to $6.72 &#8211; $6.82 versus the $6.87 estimate.
P&amp;G expects a commodity cost headwind of approximately $200 million after tax for fiscal 2025. The company now expects unfavorable foreign exchange rates will be a headwind of approximately $200 million after tax. Collectively these impacts are a headwind of $0.16 per share.
P&amp;G continues to expect adjusted free cash flow productivity of&nbsp;90%&nbsp;and expects to pay around&nbsp;$10 billion&nbsp;in dividends and repurchase&nbsp;$6&nbsp;billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$7 billion&nbsp;of common shares in fiscal 2025.
Price Action: PG shares&nbsp;traded lower by 5.12% at $157.25 at the last check on Thursday.
