Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 36

During the lightning round, a caller asked what Cramer thought about the cyclical recovery in commodities amid the tariff talks, especially Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB). Here’s what Cramer said in response:

“I can’t go, I can’t go with it. I can’t go. I’ll tell you why I can’t go with it because in the end we, I, we forgot about EVs. I mean like, you know, we like, pretty soon, we’re going to be like buying gas guzzlers. I want to stay away from that one, but so does everybody else. That’s the only problem.”

Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) offers a range of energy storage and specialty chemical solutions, including lithium compounds for batteries, specialty chemicals like bromine and lithium solutions, and clean fuels technologies. It is worth noting that Cramer has been bearish on the company before as evidenced by the comment he made in August 2024:

“Yeah, it’s a good lithium miner, but a business that we don’t want to be in. I mean this is just an EV. EVs are not ready yet. There aren’t enough charging stations, a lot of other different issues. So we’re gonna steer clear of Albemarle.”
