"It was a very bad quarter," Cramer said, pointing to Air Product's weak forward guidance compared to rival Linde's (LIN) overall upbeat results last month.
On Oct. 26, Linde posted 17% adjusted earnings-per-share growth and a lift to its profit guidance.
We'll have to see at the close whether Linde shares can turn things around and go for eight.
However, he added, "Air Products is proving that not to be the case."
Cramer's Charitable Trust does not hold shares of Air Products but does have a stake in Linde.
