Banco Santander, S.A. (NYSE:SAN) provides banking, financing, investment, and insurance services to individuals, businesses, and public institutions. The company offers lending, wealth management, payments, and digital banking. During the episode aired on December 12, 2025, a club member highlighted that they had taken partial profits from the stock and doubled their investment. They asked Cramer whether they should buy more, hold, or sell, and he replied:

“You hold it. You’re playing with the house’s money. Ana Botín is just extraordinary, okay, extraordinary. That was a triple, and I think there’s more ahead. And she has been the most successful bank CEO to come on Mad Money, but she’s also the smartest and coolest by the way.”
