Jim Cramer Weighs In On Verizon, Starbucks And Raytheon

Jim Cramer said on CNBC's Mad Money that Verizon Communications Inc. VZ has a good yield, but it has to step up its game and deal with the competition. He added that Verizon has to accelerate its growth and take back what it's losing.

Cramer thinks Starbucks Corporation SBUX has some problems with quality of its service and it needs to fix that immediately. Otherwise, the stock is going to continue to trade lower and it's going to be trading in the high $40s. Cramer's charitable trust owns Starbucks and he is planning to hold the position.

Raytheon Company RTN didn't have a fantastic quarter, thinks Cramer. He doesn't want to sell the stock, but he thinks General Dynamics Corporation GD is a better buy.
