InterActiveCorp is inexpensive here. It’s a buy here

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Friday investors his blessings to buy shares of InterActiveCorp. 

The media and internet conglomerate on May 8 released its financial report for the period ending March 31, which delivered earnings per share of $1.06. The company reported 86 cents EPS the year prior.

“I thought that was an amazing quarter,” the “Mad Money” host said. “I think that company is so inexpensive. I frankly don’t even understand it. I say it’s a buy, buy, buy.”

The stock closed the session down 1.21%. It’s up more than 28% this year and nearly 61% in the past 12 months.

Cramer said he expects more of the same in the week ahead of stock trading.

“Next week, once again, is all about trade and retail,” he said. “This is the week when most retailers report, so we will be listening closely to what they say about the trade war.”

In an interview that aired Friday, Huang told Cramer that the merger will fulfill an important function for data center security networking and storage processing.

Cramer said he worried that the country’s regulators could vote to block the merger, as one of several international councils to evaluate global deals.

“I think China is going to love it,” Huang said in a . “[Mellanox is] the world’s best at connecting high performance systems, and we’ve been working with them for a long time.”

“We’re not trying to set expectations artificially low and go above them,” he said. “We’re trying to be transparent, and I think that the consistent thing you’ll hear from me … is that we want to focus on the long term.”
