17. Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ:STLD)

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ:STLD) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money as he discussed how semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks are driving the market higher. Noting that they have held the stock for five years, a caller asked whether they should continue to hold it or switch. Cramer commented, “Steel Dynamics is a great company. Why would you do anything other than [buy, buy, buy]?”

Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ:STLD) is a major steel and aluminum producer that also operates a metal recycling business. The company makes everything from hot-rolled and coated steel to aluminum products, and also manages scrap processing and building components for the non-residential sector. During the January 22 episode, a caller asked about the stock during the lightning round, and Cramer responded:

It’s an excellent company. I like Steel Dynamics, and I like Nucor. Those are the two. Wow, what a terrific buy. This is America doing well, and the tariffs working.
