CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday looked ahead to next week’s key market events after the S&P 500 notched its seventh consecutive day of gains to close at a record-high 4,697.53.
“We need to see if this rosy action can hold up through next week, a period that historically tends to produce some ugly sell-offs. … But if the earnings stay strong, well, I think the stock market can stay strong, too,” Cramer said.
Here’s what the “Mad Money” host will be keeping his eyes on. All revenue and earnings per share estimates are from FactSet.

Cramer said owning PayPal for his charitable trust has so far been “a disaster,” as the stock has been crushed recently. “Dan Schulman, the CEO, already warned us that this would be a tough quarter because of PayPal’s final separation from eBay, but it’s already down more than 80 points, which to me seems overdone,” Cramer said.
