• Cramer likes the medical device group.

Stocks discussed on the Lightning Round segment of Jim Cramer's Mad Money Program, Tuesday, July 31.

Bullish Calls

IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX): Hold on to it, as it's one of the best-acting stocks. The companies for anything genetic, anything biological, even if it is dogs and cats, are doing well.

Western Gas Partners (WES): "I think that these stocks are now undervalued. The one I've been looking at is DCP Midstream (DCP). That yields 7%, and they just bumped the dividend. So I think you're in the right spot, and I'm willing to go with you."

Zimmer Biomet (ZBH): The medical device sector is good. Cramer likes Abbott (ABT) as well.

Triton International (TRTN): Cramer is not crazy about containers, but the stock has a good yield.

Bearish Call

Evolent Health (EVH): The company's platform is good, but UnitedHealth (UNH) is the best of breed in that group considering it has "Optum."
