Summary

Jim Cramer took listener calls in the Mad Money Lightning Round, covering NewtekOne, Texas Instruments, Crane, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, and GPCR. He said he would research NewtekOne, told a caller to hold Texas Instruments, endorsed Crane and Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, and avoided GPCR because its Roche deal is fully priced while calling Eli Lilly the GLP-1 gold standard.

  • Cramer said he would do more work on NewtekOne, a high-yield bank he does not know.
  • He told a Texas Instruments holder to keep holding, citing a coming rotation to the lagging semiconductor.
  • He liked Crane as a diversified manufacturer at a 52-week high, outside the data-center trade.
  • He liked Catalyst Pharmaceuticals for its real earnings and inexpensive valuation.
  • He called GPCR a legitimate Roche-linked oral GLP-1 idea but said the stock fully reflects the deal, so he would avoid it.
  • He said Eli Lilly remains the gold standard in GLP-1.
Ideas
Jim Cramer Host, Mad Money 1:03
Hold Texas Instruments for semiconductor rotation
Hold Texas Instruments: every other semiconductor has ignited while Texas Instruments has not yet, and he expects it to come around on a specific rotation; he likes the story.

Like Crane as non-data-center manufacturer
Crane is a good diversified manufacturer hitting a 52-week high, and investors currently want diversified manufacturers that are not necessarily part of the data center trade.
Jim Cramer Host, Mad Money 1:39
Like Catalyst Pharmaceuticals on cheap earnings
Likes Catalyst Pharmaceuticals because it has real earnings and is a very inexpensive stock; if you have a winner, stick with it.
Jim Cramer Host, Mad Money 2:20
Avoid GPCR; Lilly remains GLP-1 gold standard
GPCR is a legitimate idea with a Roche deal and oral GLP-1, but the stock already fully reflects that deal so he does not want to touch it; Eli Lilly remains the gold standard in GLP-1.
