Listen to the news

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer recommended buying American Financial Group (NYSE:AFG), saying he has always liked that stock.

On the earnings front, American Financial Group will release its first quarter results after the closing bell on Tuesday, May 6. Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $2.07 per share, down from $2.76 per share in the year-ago period. American Financial projects quarterly revenue of $1.74 billion, compared to $1.55 billion a year earlier.

Cramer said NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:NXPI) is a semiconductor company that he does not want to own.

Supporting his view, Citigroup analyst Christopher Danely, on April 11, lowered the price target on the stock from $290 to $220.

NXP Semiconductors, on Feb. 3, reported quarterly earnings of $3.18 per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $3.14. Quarterly revenue came in at $3.11 billion which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $3.104 billion and is a decrease from sales of $3.42 billion from the same period last year.

Price Action:

American Financial shares gained 0.3% to settle at $127.39 on Wednesday.
NXP Semiconductors shares fell 1.8% to close at $168.59 during the session.
