Jim Cramer On Omega Healthcare (OHI) Investors: 'You're Right To Be Worried'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. (NYSE:OHI) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed recently.
On Wednesday's episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer reviewed the recent developments affecting drug distribution companies and laid out why he is turning cautious on the group. He pointed out that stocks of major drug distributors have retreated from their all-time highs.
'Most of the time, that's because of vague, amorphous concerns that some type of regulatory crackdown will force them out of business or, at the very least, make them a lot less profitable.'

Cramer referenced the executive order signed by the President last week aimed at lowering drug prices, which triggered a sell-off across the drug distribution sector. He explained that the order would effectively require pharmaceutical companies to offer the U.S. government drug prices that match the lowest rates charged in other advanced economies. Cramer said the market's fear is straightforward: if drugmakers are forced to cut prices for their government customers, then drug distributors could see their margins shrink.
'The bottom line: No matter how well the drug distributors have been doing, I do not want to stick my neck out for an industry that now seems to be hated by both the Democrats and the Republicans. It seems like the only thing they agree on, doesn't it? There are so many potential winners in this market, I say, why take the risk?'

Home Depot holding opening ceremony Wednesday at South Hill store
Jun. 10—Officials from Home Depot will host a grand opening Wednesday at the hardware giant's new store on the South Hill. The 134,000-square foot store was built following the demolition of the 100,000-square-foot Shopko building at 4515 S. Regal St. The new store is located directly across the street from Ruggiero's Ace Hardware, owned by Austin and Josh Ruggiero, the third generation of the family to own the business. To commemorate the opening of Home Depot, company officials will host a community night celebration that starts at 4:30 on Wednesday. It will feature remarks from Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown, City Council President Betsy Wilkerson and Alisha Benson, CEO of Greater Spokane Incorporated. Following the event, the store will open for business at 6 a.m. on Thursday. Home Depot purchased the 13-acre property in May for $10 million, according to county property records. Building plans submitted to the city show about 28,000 square feet of the new building will include a garden center, and another 100,000 square feet will consist of retail space. A lumber canopy also is slated for the location. The store could eventually employ 175 workers, according to the project description submitted to the city. Josh Ruggiero said last year that his hardware store could suffer from the new Home Depot. "I fear we will no longer exist if this Home Depot goes in across the street," he said. But two weeks ago, the Ruggieros announced plans to highlight the differences that their store offers customers. The plan to hold a neighborhood party on Saturday at the Ace Hardware store at 44th and Regal which will include in-store promotions and family activities. "While this change presents challenges for our family-owned business, we are embracing the moment with optimism and a renewed commitment to our neighbors," Ruggiero said in a news release.

City of Spokane releases its 2024 report on drinking water quality
Jun. 10—The city of Spokane met all state and federal drinking water standards last year, according to its required 2024 report on drinking water quality measuring levels of contaminants and "forever" chemicals in its source wells. PFAS, also known as polyfluoroalkyl substances, refers to a group of human-made chemicals that has been used in consumer products since the 1950s. Think nonstick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, certain cleaning products or fire-fighting foam. Exposure to high levels of these chemicals has been linked to detrimental health effects, including decreased fertility, developmental delays and a higher risk of some type of cancers, such as kidney and prostate cancer. The components of these substances usually take hundreds or thousands of years to break down, and their widespread use has resulted in their prevalence everywhere — including in our drinking water. Washington established state action levels in 2022 to address PFAS, providing thresholds for the amount of contamination drinking water can contain before specific state actions must take place. In April 2024, the EPA announced a new federal standard: a maximum containment level of 4 parts per trillion of PFAS. Although the EPA requires water purveyors to meet this federal regulatory standard by 2027, the city has already updated its testing and monitoring procedures to account for the contaminants. "We're all kind of learning together," public works communications manager Kirstin Davis said. "Some of the prior standards didn't have as complicated and as detailed of testing as what's available now." The city of Spokane detected low levels of PFAs in three well locations: Havana Well, Nevada Well and Ray Street Well. During a test in February, the Ray Street Well measured slightly above the federal standard at 6.1 parts per trillion of PFOS, a specific type of PFA. EPA rules, however, measure compliances based on a four-quarter rolling average of test results. Further testing of that well in June and October resulted in lower levels of PFAs detected, making the average just below the federal limit. The report also analyzed other levels of inorganic chemicals and found traces of arsenic, barium, lead, copper, nitrate and radionuclides in the source wells, all below the federal limit. This year's Spokane City Water Quality report is accessible on the City's water quality webpage.
