On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer weighed in on stocks brought up by viewers, highlighting risks and opportunities in the market.

High Valuations Prompt Caution

Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE:LMND) has climbed significantly, prompting Cramer to caution, “up too much… You got to let it come down.” JMP Securities' Ronald Josey echoed similar concerns, maintaining a Market Outperform rating and raising the price target from $40 to $60 on Nov. 22.

Healthcare Stocks In Focus

Cencora, Inc. (NYSE:COR) could “go lower,” Cramer said, preferring Cardinal Health, Inc. (NYSE:CAH) instead. Cencora has been expanding its portfolio, completing its acquisition of Retina Consultants of America on Jan. 2. The move strengthens its position in specialized healthcare.

For Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO), Cramer advised caution, saying he would be “careful” with the stock. The company recently reported Phase 3 trial results for its CagriSema combination therapy, which showed promising outcomes but the stock is down over 22% in the past month.

GLP-1 Impact on Consumer Staples

Cramer pointed out challenges for PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP), saying it's in the “crosshairs of the GLP-1 situation.” Despite this, Piper Sandler's Mike Lavery initiated coverage on Jan. 7 with an Overweight rating and a $171 price target, reflecting optimism for PepsiCo's resilience in response to shifting consumer trends.

Price Action:

  • Novo Nordisk shares fell 2% to settle at $83.34 on Tuesday.
  • PepsiCo shares fell 0.6% to close at $145.40 during the session.
  • Cencora shares gained 2.3% to settle at $234.24.
  • Lemonade shares fell 6.3% to settle at $36.14 on Tuesday.
