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.”

Cramer said he doesn't recommend the tobacco stocks, when asked about Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:MO).
