Jim Cramer Recommends MP Materials Over USA Rare Earth

USA Rare Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAR) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar as he highlighted AI winners to buy for 2026. When a caller inquired about the stock during the lightning round, Cramer said, “No, the only one we’re recommending in that area is MP Materials.”

USA Rare Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAR) supplies rare earth elements and other critical minerals, including neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, gallium, beryllium, and lithium. Cramer called it “risky” when a caller asked about the stock during the April 27 episode. The Mad Money host commented:

Well, it is up 100%, and what we’re discovering is the companies that are up between say 60 and 100% are rolling over and not going higher. I want to wait for a pullback… I think it’s too risky right here.

While we acknowledge the risk and potential of USAR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
