We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Was Talking About These 10 Stocks Amid Tariff Chaos. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ:CAKE) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer was talking about amid tariff chaos.

Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC talked about the market rebound on Friday, and said that there’s still uncertainty ahead as consumers remain worried about the impact of tariffs.

“Right now people are scared. We saw a shocking decline in the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey this morning. People fear inflation and worry about their savings, which happens to be, in many cases, the stock market. They don’t know what tariffs mean and they haven’t had them explained to them in any satisfactory way, so they figure the tariffs are yet another thing that raises prices in the supermarket — and that’s probably true.

I know the president and his crew have chosen not to focus on the stock market because they don’t want to have it be a referendum on themselves. I agree with that, but it won’t be — it’ll be the voice of the people and what they’re worried about. Think of the market as a gauge of hope versus despair. The results lately demonstrate despair, even if today we finally got a solid session. The cause and effect are so palpable that you don’t need me to tell you how these gains came about, do you?”

Cramer predicted that retail sales numbers next week will be “dismal” as consumers are worried about losing their jobs and are cutting back on spending.
