# Jim Cramer: This Financial Stock Is A Buy, Scotts Miracle-Gro Is 'Too Risky'

On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” **Jim Cramer** said **Scotts Miracle-Gro Company** (NYSE:SMG) is “too risky.”

He recommended buying **Banco Santander** (NYSE:SAN).

When asked about **USA Rare Earth, Inc**. (NASDAQ:USAR), Cramer said he only recommends MP Materials (NYSE:MP) in that area.

Cramer recommended selling **Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc**. (NYSE:ARE).

**NextDecade Corporation** (NASDAQ:NEXT) can “go higher because the need for more LNG, I think it's an okay idea. Not great,” Cramer said.

Cramer said **Maxlinear** (NYSE:MXL) has “probably gone more parabolic than any other stock in the market.” He recommended waiting for that thing to come down.

When asked about **MasTec, Inc.** (NYSE:MTZ), he said, “We had Mr. Mas \[CEO of MasTec\] on when we did the University of Miami show, which was so terrific. And I would tell you this, it is another company that I would have included at the top because it's such a great one for the data center.”
