Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ:HBAN) is among Jim Cramer’s recent stock calls as he urged investors to stand by the defense sector. Starting the round of “Am I Diversified, ” a club member noted that their top 5 portfolio holdings are BG, FCX, HBAN, NVDA, and WMT. Cramer replied:

First, I want to say this is a portfolio that is doing so well that I am proud to have Johnny (the club member) on the show. NVIDIA, finally breaking out, great. This Freeport broke out for 20 points, a copper company broke out for 20 points. We got agriculture, we want that, okay? That’s good, Bunge… Walmart, okay, so Walmart has this incredible run, obviously retail, and is consolidating terrifically. And I like to own a regional bank… At the top of the show, I said the regionals maybe where the action is in 2026 because of takeovers. A bank, a tech, copper, Ag, retail, perfection. That’s what I want to see.
