Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money, discussed the current state of nuclear energy on Friday, as he highlighted its potential and the challenges that come with it.

“If you want clean energy, nuclear is the best solution long term. But man, it takes a very, very, very long time to build these things, even the small forms… are still novel and nuclear. Ooh, toxic combo. The tech execs embraced nukes because they hate fossil fuels. The problem is these CEOs don’t know the hazards of getting into the nuclear business.”

Cramer pointed out that while, in theory, these newer nuclear reactors are designed to be easier to construct, the industry is tightly regulated since no one wants a nuclear accident. He added, “Plus, there are so many nuclear facilities being built at this moment right now, I wonder how these builders can find the workers needed to put up the plants or the materials.” He emphasized that even companies that have promised on-time power production often underestimate the complexity of nuclear construction.

“In many cases, the companies that have promised to produce the power on time, don’t even know what they’re dealing with. The industry’s too crowded, too much demand, not enough supply from any certainty. The companies in the nuclear food chain never want to admit that there could be mistakes in the construction process. They act like these are no different to building a natural gas turbine. I wish that were the case, but given the history, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima, you have to expect the unexpected, which means delays. That’s why the utilities gave up on building these things years ago, and it’s why I wish these nuclear neophytes like Meta would try not to overpromise.”

Jim Cramer Recently Looked At These 16 Stocks

16. Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 273

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Cramer highlighted the company’s nuclear ambitions, and he also expressed how he feels about it. The Mad Money host said:

“Far more interesting to me was the story that Meta Platforms is buying and building facilities that will generate enough power for the expansion of their AI infrastructure. Meta is buying electricity from three Vistra plants, nuclear power plants. But what caught my eye was their commitment to buy power from the small nuclear reactors being built by Oklo. Meta gave 2030 as the date when these nuclear plants will be pumping out electricity. Oh, I wish they hadn’t said that. I wish they hadn’t given us that time frame because almost every company that has tried to build nukes faster than we thought we could have had hideous delays and cost overruns. They have to hope that small form nuclear reactors will take a lot less time. But this is a new technology so I wouldn’t bet on it… I wish Meta had given themselves more time instead of just making that promise for 2030… Of course, I’d love to be wrong. If Mark Zuckerberg can somehow find a way to build a nuclear plant on time, give that man a Nobel Prize. Sadly, I wouldn’t put money on it.”

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) develops technologies and applications that connect people through social networking and messaging. The company’s portfolio includes Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Threads, and products in virtual and augmented reality.

“Oh, Arm Holdings, that’s Rene Haas. I think he’s doing a real good job. I don’t know why the stock keeps going down. I think I’m a buyer, not a seller. What can I say? I think Rene is doing a good job.”

Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:ARM) designs and licenses CPU architectures, system IP, and software used across automotive, computing, consumer, and IoT applications. A caller sought Cramer’s advice on the stock during the episode aired on October 28, 2025. In response, he commented:

“No, look, don’t chase it. You’ve got a position in it, that’s fine. It is an expensive… stock. I happen to like Rene Haas very much, but you’ve got a position. Don’t complicate the situation by buying a little more almost at the high. This is a terrific position you’ve got. Let it run.”

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 30

Amprius Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:AMPX) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. A caller asked for Cramer’s thoughts on the company, and he replied:

“An interesting spec. I was thinking about them when Ford decided to no longer do its battery business. I think you have something there. It’s a nice spec and it’s come down. I am going to say that that’s a good one.”

Amprius Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:AMPX) creates advanced silicon-based batteries designed to power high-performance flight tech like drones and satellites.

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 67

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. When a caller mentioned that they had success with the stock but purchased shares on margin at $275 on Monday, Cramer commented:

“Oh, wow. No, we don’t want that. You don’t live in, you know, you can do a loan for a house, you can live in it… But First Solar is not good enough to be, it’s 16 times earnings, but and I like the company very much, but no. You’re going to have to take, you got, you have to cut your losses. I will not, I can’t tolerate…buying on…  margin.”

First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) specializes in making advanced thin-film solar modules that provide a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional silicon panels. Ariel Investments stated the following regarding First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR), a U.S.-based company that makes solar panels and the technology behind them, was the top contributor this quarter following an earnings beat and upward revision in full year guidance. July bookings suggest the company is regaining pricing power, while the Commerce Department’s Section 232 investigation into polysilicon could offer policy support that boosts pricing. Additionally, First Solar is nearing a strategic move to combine international front-end processing with domestic back-end assembly, which could enhance margins. As developers gain clarity on the safe harbor rules related to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the coming weeks, we expect FSLR’s contract activity to accelerate, especially as customers rush to lock in capacity and qualify for subsidies before they expire.”

12. Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:RLGT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 11

Radiant Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:RLGT) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. A caller sought Cramer’s opinion on the stock, and here’s what he had to say in response:

“Hey, interesting company. Look, I like logistics company, I like the truck load company, but I have to tell you, come back. If you’re going to be in that business, you want to be in FedEx. They got the logistics that you need. I’m not kidding, FDX.”

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 25

SailPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Answering a caller’s query about the stock during the lightning round, Cramer stated:

“No, you know, that’s the kind of enterprise software that I just can’t tolerate right now. I just do not want to be in anything like that. The only one that my Charitable Trust is in is Salesforce, and even there, it’s, they punish you every day on the darn thing. So let’s steer clear…”

SailPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIL) provides security software that helps organizations manage and protect the digital identities of their employees, contractors, and automated systems. NZS Capital, LLC stated the following regarding SailPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIL) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“SailPoint, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAIL): Earlier this year, researchers discovered a zero-click vulnerability, “EchoLeak”, in Microsoft 365 Copilot, which represented the first known zero-click attack on an AI agent. In this vulnerability, an attacker could send a seemingly normal email containing hidden instructions that the AI assistant would process when the user later asked Copilot a question about said email, resulting in the user unknowingly exfiltrating sensitive data to the attacker’s server. Thus began the AI era of cybersecurity, where AI agents are just as vulnerable to attacks as workplace employees.

SailPoint is a pioneer in identity governance and administration (IGA), which involves managing and securing dynamic access to critical applications and data for every enterprise identity. This capability requires deep, broad controls for proper access authorization, automating functions like account provisioning, and access certification across all identities. Identity governance is essential for operationalizing zero-trust security by helping companies achieve dynamic real time security and prevent people from maintaining permanent, exploitable, high-level permissions and access…” (Click here to read the full text)

10. Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 88

Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. A caller mentioned their struggle in the stock over the past few months after previously trading the stock multiple times in 2025 for a profit. In response, Cramer said:

“No, no, I think you’re okay. I actually… I think you’re okay. It’s come down, I know it’s come down a lot, but it’s only down 1% for the year. I think you’re fine. As a matter of fact, I actually would be inclined to to buy some here. I don’t want you to sell that stock.”

Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) operates a large network of power plants that generate and sell electricity using a mix of nuclear and fossil fuel sources. Polen Capital stated the following regarding Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:

“The top contributors to the Portfolio’s relative performance in the quarter were Bloom Energy, SoFi Technologies, and Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:TLN).

Talen Energy is one of the largest power generation companies in North America with 10.7GW of total power generation, including 2.2GW at its Susquehanna, PA nuclear power plant. As the tech industry continues its aggressive buildout of data centers for running AI workloads, it is driving the biggest increase in electricity demand in decades. This in turn has spurred a race among energy companies to develop and acquire operational gas-fired plants, which are capable of providing round-the-clock power, unlike intermittent solar and wind. Along these lines, the stock reacted positively to the news in July that Talen Energy agreed to a $3.8B deal— the fourth big deal of the year—for two relatively new, favorably located gas fired power plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio.”

9. Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 40

Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. When a caller noted that they bought the stock three years ago for around $12, Cramer remarked:

“Congratulations. You know that one’s done. They got that nice bid from Sanofi. I’m going to actually go out there and talk to them about that… Well played, my friend.”

Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX) is a biopharmaceutical company that creates and sells advanced vaccines, including a specialized shot for hepatitis B and a unique additive used to boost immune responses. On December 24, Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) announced that it is acquiring the company for nearly $2.2 billion. The deal involves a cash tender offer of $15.50 per share. The CEO of Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:DVAX), Ryan Spencer, commented:

“We believe Sanofi’s commercial reach, development capabilities and commitment to evidence-based immunization will amplify the opportunity for HEPLISAV-B and our innovative pipeline to address important public health needs, further advancing our mission to help protect the world against infectious disease. We are confident that this transaction – and the compelling value it provides – is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.”

8. Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE:LAC)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 16

Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE:LAC) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. During the lightning round, a caller mentioned that they have been considering the stock, and Cramer replied:

“No, no, no… Wrong one. You want Albemarle. Even though it’s up a lot, it’s a much safer stock. The symbol is ALB. Let’s go for that one.”

Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE:LAC) operates lithium deposits and processing facilities, with its main project at Thacker Pass. During the episode aired on December 17, 2025, a caller inquired about the stock, and Cramer responded:

“No, no, there’s nothing there for you. We’re just going to have to skip it. That’s a yesteryear stock. It’s just, it’s a no-go.”

7. Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 42

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. During the episode, a caller asked if they should hold or sell it. In response, Cramer said:

“Okay, so I think a lot of the weakness is more involved with Kenvue, but remember, Procter, which we own for the Charitable Trust, also went down. But they’re buying Kenvue, and people don’t like that because it’s got all this, it’s got some issues. I’m not going to say liabilities, that’s too mean. I mean, it’s too negative. But I will say that I think Michael Hsu is doing a fantastic job with what the hand he’s got. It’s got a 5% yield. I think it seems very intriguing to me here at 13 times earnings.”

Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NASDAQ:KMB) manufactures personal care products and provides items such as diapers, wipes, feminine and incontinence care products, and household paper goods. Its brands include Huggies, Kotex, Depend, Kleenex, Scott, and Cottonelle. Cramer discussed the company’s planned acquisition of Kenvue during the episode aired on November 20, 2025. He stated:

“Alright, this is one we’ve talked about a bunch, Kimberly-Clark’s bold, nearly $49 billion bid to buy Kenvue, which is the J&J’s old over-the-counter business that makes Tylenol, Band-Aids, Aveeno, and so many other household names. I think it’s incredibly compelling as Kenvue stock has… near cut in half from where it came public. Of course, there are risks. The Secretary of Health and Human Services has blamed Tylenol for causing autism. But he seems to think kind of everything causes autism.

At the same time, Kenvue is still being sued overseas for its talc exposure, the same kind of lawsuit that weighed down J&J for years here in America. But our country has a uniquely lottery-like legal system than the rest of the world… You just can’t sue for… infinite damages like you could here. They standardize these things. No jackpot justice overseas. To me, that means it’s time to buy the stock of Kimberly-Clark. Worst case, another acquirer comes in, at which point, Kimberly-Clark goes right back up. You’d be getting a premium consumer packaged goods company for 14 times earnings with an almost 5% yield. I like that.”

6. e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 43

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. A caller asked if they should hold the stock or take profit, and Cramer remarked:

“Okay, the stock’s been troubled, and a lot of that I think is because people are confused about the Chinese, with the manufacturing. Let’s do this. If you get a tariff overturn from the Supreme Court, this stock’s going to go up 25 points. Let’s just hold on to it for now because I think it’s actually reflecting some of the weakness that I don’t even think is there anymore. I think Tarang Amin is terrific.”

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) sells cosmetics and skincare products under its brands, like e.l.f. Cosmetics, e.l.f. Skin, Well People, Naturium, and Keys Soulcare. During the November 21, 2025, episode, a caller asked about the stock, and Cramer responded:

“Okay, you know, someone asked me about this last night, and they said, what do you think? I’m out there talking to a lot of people, and I said, you know what? This one’s gotten too hard for me. Look, I know I like Tarang Amin. I backed him the whole way, but it’s just become one of those stocks that’s [got] a tariff problem, and the short interest is really big. And right now, I think it’s low, but I’m afraid literally that I will get my head blown off if I say this is the level to buy it.”

5. Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULTA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 56

Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULTA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Cramer called it one of his “favorite” companies during the episode, as he commented:

“I always keep an eye on the new high list to understand what’s working. And for the past couple weeks, one of my favorite companies has practically achieved permanent residency status, making a new high almost every day. And I’m talking about Ulta Beauty… Yes, new CEO Kecia Steelman took over a year ago, and boy, she’s managed to orchestrate a pretty impressive turnaround, and that’s why I recommended buying the stock into weakness just a few months ago. But it’s time to revisit it because it’s an even better story…

You’ve got a retailer that is indeed firing on all cylinders. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it’s looking a lot like the Ulta of old, the innovative growth story that was run by Mary Dillon for so many years before she went to work at Footlocker. Wall Street loved the old Ulta for good reason, and now, it’s falling back in love with the new Ulta. Of course, at this point, we’re no longer early. Ulta’s rallied a quick 27% in just two and a half months since I recommended it. The stock’s not yet super expensive, selling for just over 23 times the year’s earnings estimates. But it’s certainly more expensive than it was before, now trading at a bit of a premium to the overall market versus a slight discount when I recommended it in October… If you didn’t listen to me last time, you know what? I still think you can buy Ulta here and get some exposure to this excellent story, which is not quite a true turnaround story yet, but is definitely a getting much better under new management story now.

If you took my word for it in October and you bought the stock, then it’s a hold. Oh, and congratulations on your quick gains, though. Either way, with Ulta stock white-hot here, I mean white-hot, you should be hoping for a market-wide pullback that gives you a chance to load up on this one at a really good level. The bottom line is that Ulta Beauty continues to look better and better and then better some more. The stock’s certainly run a bit at this point, but I think it’s got more upside as the company is starting this new year with more momentum than at any point in ages.”

Ulta Beauty, Inc. (NASDAQ:ULTA) provides cosmetics, skincare, haircare, and fragrance products. In addition, the company offers in-store beauty services, including hair, makeup, brow, and skin treatments.

4. SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE:SN)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 71

SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE:SN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Cramer discussed the company’s tremendous performance in the second half of 2025, as he remarked:

“This has been a crazy week in America, so let’s talk about something fun for once, SharkNinja… It was one of the greatest comeback stories in the second half of last year… If you sold SharkNinja on the tariff worries last spring, well, you know what? You’re probably kicking yourself now. Stock’s basically doubled from its lows over its past nine months. Mostly, that rally’s happened the old-fashioned way. SharkNinja just kept reporting better results and better results and better results. These guys delivered three beat and raise quarters in a row: May, August, and November. Now, the latest quarter reported on November 6th was the thing of beauty…

At the end of the day, I like the story very much… Listen, if we get more high-level trade deals, this is the one. Really, though, if the Supreme strikes down these tariffs for being unconstitutional, SharkNinja could have a lot more upside as it could recoup a lot of money. But let’s assume the tariffs remain in place, because I wouldn’t want to bet on a very conservative Supreme Court overruling the Trump administration, even without any relief, SharkNinja is a company with sales and earnings growth in the mid-teens and a stock that’s trading at just 20 times this year’s earnings estimates. As far as I’m concerned, this thing is a steal. Here’s the bottom line: SharkNinja’s a terrific consumer appliances company with a proven track record of beating the estimates. So when you see the stock selling for 20 times this year’s earnings estimates, I would bet that they’ll beat those numbers and the stock ends up looking even cheaper in retrospect. That’s why I’d be a buyer, right here by the way. And hey, if the tariffs do get axed, that’s just pure gravy for SharkNinja.”

SharkNinja, Inc. (NYSE:SN) sells consumer appliances, including vacuums, floorcare products, cooking and beverage appliances, food prep devices, beauty appliances, and home environment products.

3. Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ:CAKE)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 28

Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ:CAKE) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Noting that the stock was up recently, a caller inquired if it is still a buy. Cramer replied:

“Yes, they really know how to run it. You know, they are just a seasoned practitioner. They know how to do it. I think it’s going to make a run at all-time highs. It sells at 13 times earnings. That’s way too cheap for a very high-quality still growth company, even though it’s up 14% this year. I like it.”

Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ:CAKE) operates and licenses restaurant brands and manages bakery production for both internal use and external distribution. The company also supplies baked goods and cheesecakes to restaurants, retailers, and foodservice operators. Cramer discussed the stock in detail during the July 16, 2025, episode. He said:

“I got another one for you, just kind of popped outta nowhere on my screen, Cheesecake Factory. Yeah, it’s up over 31% year to date, trouncing the 6.5% gain in the S&P 500 over the same period, Cheesecake Factory. So once again, I’m asking what the heck is going on here… It’s infamous for one thing, its ridiculously large menu…

…Basically, Cheesecake Factory covers all the bases, making it a good choice when you’re looking to go out with a group of friends… As analyst at Goldman Sachs put it, this diverse menu eliminates the ‘no vote’ when deciding where to go out to eat… The value proposition here is clear. If there’s one thing the winners in the restaurant space have in common right now, is that they offer a great value proposition…And look, even if you’re not a fan, it’s hard to argue with Cheesecake Factory’s annualized unit volume of $12.5 million, and that’s what they make per share, and it’s an obscenely large number for the restaurant industry…

Cheesecake Factory’s also changed the menu to offer their customers better value, something that they’re planning to stick with going forward. The result, when Cheesecake Factory reported its most recent quarter, at the beginning of May, they delivered impressive unit-level margins of 16.6%. Wall Street was only looking for 15.8%… Adding new locations will be meaningful to the overall earnings. This comes out to 7% unit growth overall, which is enough to make this a pretty compelling restaurant growth story.

So I like the company, but where do I come down on the stock right now? This thing has been red hot. Although, with Cheesecake Factory set to report earnings the Tuesday after next, it might be wise just to wait and see the latest results. While performance has been strong, management remains conservative in its outlook, so the stock might sell off even if they have a real good quarter. Despite having a top and bottom line beat and these impressive margins when they last reported, the stock slipped the day after earnings, thanks to management’s commentary…

So let me give you the bottom line on Cheesecake: Even though management’s been pretty conservative in their outlook throughout this rally, I don’t know if it would be prudent for me to tell you to buy Cheesecake Factory ahead of the quarter… There’s a lot to like about this story, but let’s see how they did… last quarter. As much as I want to say, let them eat cake, maybe let this one cool off before you take a bite.”

It is worth noting that the company’s stock is down around 7.5% from July 16, 2025, levels, when the above comment was aired.

2. Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:NET)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 63

Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:NET) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Answering a caller’s query about the stock during the episode, Cramer commented:

“I just yesterday was speaking to a very large investor, and he said, what kind of companies are you looking at that you like? I said, well, I’m trying to buy companies that are down a lot, you know maybe, you know, more than just a couple percent from their highs, that are run very well, that do good things, and I’m very, I’m not worried about the quarters. You know what? That’s Matthew Prince, that’s Cloudflare, symbol NET. And… I think you buy a little more here, and if it comes down, because the chart is ugly, you buy some more after that.”

Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:NET) provides cloud-based security, performance, and networking solutions for businesses, including website protection, Zero Trust security, content delivery, and developer tools. Cramer mentioned the stock during the November 3, 2025, episode, as he stated:

“Finally, let me give you one more potential AI winner that doesn’t need to spend… more money to get there but has really been moving up a lot and that’s a company called Cloudflare, the cybersecurity company/content delivery network that looks to be like an enforcer for all the content publishers that are basically getting their data stolen by generative AI platforms. This past summer, Cloudflare announced that it was the first internet infrastructure provider to block AI crawlers from accessing content without permission.

In August, when we last had CEO Matthew Prince on the show, he sounded earnest about wanting to help smaller publishers that are getting ripped off by AI companies. He told me that as the world transitions from search engines to answer engines, these publishers are getting hosed because, unlike search engines, AI platforms don’t send them traffic. That’s why Cloudflare is helping their customers protect themselves from AI data scraping. Without that protection, they cannot get paid. Now, we don’t know how much Cloudflare could make from this business, but man, they reported one excellent set of numbers last week… It’s one of my favorite stocks. Throw in the anti-data scraping opportunity, and they’re only going to get more profitable.”

1. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 166

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. Cramer showed optimism around the company’s stock, as he remarked:

“We’ve seen breathtaking rallies in the data storage stocks. We also have some stocks that simply can’t lift, and I gotta mention them, Apple and NVIDIA. I know you want to know if it’s over for these two members of the Magnificent Seven. I come at it a totally different way. I think both Apple and NVIDIA, the companies, are humming along, making a lot of money. It’s simply that money managers need to sell something old if they want to buy something new, so their stocks become what is known as a source of funds. Do you know it’s a time-honored tradition at the beginning of the year? I’ve seen it happen in January repeatedly over the years. You just have to wait these two out. You’ll know when the selling is done. It’s truly not over yet, or the stocks wouldn’t start rolling over every day from the get-go. And you see it as well as I do. I say, own Apple and own NVIDIA, don’t trade them. Nothing’s changed for me… Are they [the house of pain]? Nah, wrong address.”

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) manufactures and sells devices such as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, along with its line-up of wearables and accessories. The devices are supported by the company’s app ecosystem, AppleCare, and cloud tools.
