Banco Santander, S.A. (NYSE:SAN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer put under a microscope. When a caller sought Cramer’s opinion on the stock during the lightning round, Cramer said:

“Santander is terrific… I think that Santander is amazing. I think Ana Botín is incredible… recommending this stock since 3, and I’m redoubling my efforts to tell you to buy it right now.”

Banco Santander, S.A. (NYSE:SAN) provides banking, financing, investment, and insurance services to individuals, businesses, and public institutions.

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.”
