Cramer's Lightning Round: AKAM Gets Thumbs Up
CNBC's Mad Money host Jim Cramer recently hosted his 'lightning round' segment, where he rapidly answers callers' stock questions.
In this segment, Cramer discussed several companies, including Akamai Technologies (AKAM), Builders FirstSource (BLDR), and Applied Digital.
When asked about Akamai, Cramer replied, 'I think it's terrific.' He did not elaborate on his reasoning behind this statement. In contrast, he expressed negative views towards Builders FirstSource, saying that his charitable trust is being outperformed by Home Depot, which led him to dismiss AKAM as a potential investment choice.
Cramer emphasized the importance of focusing on companies with strong financials and profitability, indicating that he would rather invest in businesses that are generating profits rather than relying on margin.
