Jim Cramer - Mad Money Toast TOST-Q WATCH May 24, 2024

Toast competes with Lightspeed and Square offering payment systems to restaurants. Toast debuted today and shares popped from $40 to $62.51, but that's too far--Toast will be burnt. Sure, it's a great company with strong business. Also, restaurants are spending huge on tech so Toast is a timely IPO. That said, there's a lot of competition in this space. Then again, it's hard to find resto workers now and so labour costs are higher for resto owners, so technology makes Toast's services looks attractive. Bottom lie: Toast's valuation is too high, though it's a good company. Their balance sheet is clean and they are inching towards profitability. The current share price is priced for perfection. He predicts shares will plunge at the end of lock-up period.

It's amazing how so many of these small companies are seeing their stocks rise even as nothing is really happening. Maybe shares shouldn't have fallen that far to begin with. They report this week.
