CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Thursday endorsed CIIG Merger, the U.S. blank-check firm set to take U.Okay. electric-vehicle maker Arrival public subsequent yr, as a speculative inventory for traders to play.
“As a lot as I like this story, I believe you could be affected person,” the “Mad Money” host stated. “However given how a lot this one already pulled again this week, I am supplying you with my blessing to start out selecting at it tomorrow. Then I need you to attend for possibly a greater pitch.”
CIIG shares are down from a late-November peak, when the inventory greater than tripled in worth in a matter of six buying and selling days. The inventory is down about 20% to $23.74 since Nov. 24.
Cramer stated he could be extra bullish on the inventory if it comes down roughly $6 from its present degree, likening Arrival to the most popular electric-car title on Wall Avenue.
“If it comes down beneath $17.50, you should purchase it hand over fist, as a result of this one has the most effective declare to be the son of Tesla — or daughter, to interrupt the tyranny of that terrible cliche,” he stated.
Arrival, which reportedly had a $5.4 billion valuation in November, is the most recent of a surge in particular objective acquisition corporations taking non-public enterprise public this yr. SPACs increase cash to fund an acquisition, taking the goal agency to public markets.
