Jim Cramer on Banco Santander, S.A. (SAN): "Ana Botin Is Just Extraordinary"

Banco Santander, S.A. (NYSE:SAN) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer shared his take on. A club member asked whether, after doubling their investment in the stock and already taking partial profits, they should buy more, continue holding, or sell the remaining position. Cramer replied:

“You hold it. You’re playing with the house’s money. Ana Botín is just extraordinary, okay, extraordinary. That was a triple, and I think there’s more ahead. And she has been the most successful bank CEO to come on Mad Money, but she’s also the smartest and coolest by the way.”

Banco Santander, S.A. (NYSE:SAN) provides banking, financing, investment, and insurance services to individuals, businesses, and public institutions. The company offers lending, wealth management, payments, and digital banking. During the October 10 episode, Cramer noted that he likes the stock very much, as he remarked:

“Even on a bad day like this, it’s worth keeping an eye on the banks as they become some of the hottest stocks in this market. And that includes the big international players like Banco Santander, which you know, I like very much. It’s doubled since we saw the CEO last. They have been on the cutting edge, focused on AI and the future of banking.”
