Jim Cramer on Cardinal Health: 'I am a Believer'
Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE:CAH) is one of the 11 stocks on Jim Cramer's radar. Calling Cardinal Health, Inc.'s (NYSE:CAH) upcoming Investor Day a possible needle mover, Cramer said: 'Now, Thursday brings some analyst meetings that could move the needle. Cardinal Health, we've had them on a couple of times, tells a terrific story about how it's much more than a drug middleman. And I believe, I am a believer.' A senior physician in a modern healthcare institution administering medication to a patient. Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH) provides medical products and services used in various care settings. The company delivers pharmaceuticals, equipment, and support tools while managing distribution, logistics, and pharmacy operations through healthcare-focused technology. On May 14, Cramer extensively commented on the company as he said: 'These stocks, namely Cardinal Health, Cencora, and McKesson, are seemingly perpetual residents on the new high list. Over the long haul, they're some of the best performers out there, and they've done great this year, as is pretty much always the case. And yet, doesn't it always feel like the drug distributors are just one bad day away from falling apart… Let's not forget that the drug distributors are making fortunes right now. Cardinal Health turned in an excellent set of numbers two weeks ago with double-digit earnings growth. Management put through a big boost in their full-year earnings forecast. Cardinal stock jumped 3% in response, climbing from $141 to $145, and it kept running for really a week after that, eventually setting at an all-time high of $154 just last Thursday. What a fabulous move… While we acknowledge the potential of CAH as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

New Legislation aims to clarify workplace rules for medical marijuana use in PA
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — Pennsylvania lawmakers are taking steps to eliminate confusion over medical marijuana use in the workplace with new legislation aimed at protecting both employees and employers. In a co-sponsorship memo released this week, Rep. Napoleon Nelson and another House member announced plans to introduce a bill that would provide clearer rules for how employers handle medical marijuana under state law. The bill is a companion to Senate Bill 1290 from a previous session, which was supported by a bipartisan group of state senators. Though medical marijuana has been legal in Pennsylvania since 2016 under Act 16, it remains illegal at the federal level. That disconnect has left employers without federal guidance on how to treat workers who are certified medical marijuana patients. The proposed legislation would define key terms related to medical marijuana use and provide consistent guidelines for workplace drug testing. It would also clarify when job applicants or employees must disclose medical marijuana use, particularly for safety-sensitive positions, and how such use affects unemployment and workers' compensation eligibility. Importantly, the bill does not change the current legal protection that prevents employers from firing or refusing to hire someone solely for being a medical marijuana patient. Instead, lawmakers say the goal is to remove ambiguity and ensure fair treatment on both sides. Supporters hope the legislation will give Pennsylvania businesses and workers confidence and structure as they navigate medical marijuana policy in the workplace. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
