Later in the show he takes aim at analysts covering GrubHub and explains why he’s bearish on the food delivery industry.

Cramer’s game plan: Another week of positive earnings can take the market to more record highs

The stock market has more evidence to quell fears that a recession could be looming, CNBC’s said Friday.

The major averages all surged about 1% during the session, the same day the October jobs report showed that companies added 128,000 new payrolls. That topped the 75,000 that economists had estimated.

Next week is an important week, not as important as this week when it comes to earnings,” the “Mad Money” host said, “but it’s certainly going to take us to where we have to go, which is more record highs if everything works out.”

Wall Street analysts widely misjudged GrubHub‘s stock, but the food delivery company’s impending struggles should have been obvious, Cramer said.

GrubHub, after a rough earnings report Tuesday, saw its stock fall more than 40% in one session, and it’s largely stayed down around $33 this week.
