Cramer credits much of Genentech's strength and future to its cancer-fighting drug Avastin. He called Avastin a "wonder drug," noting that while the drug doesn't cure cancer, Genentech has been able to continually find new uses for it. Avastin, he said, is now used for not only breast cancer but also for colon and lung cancer, with several other treatments in development. Cramer also likes Genentech for its myriad other drugs and its strong drug pipeline, which he feels will give the stock many catalysts over the next year.
