Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) is one of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks Jim Cramer commented on. Cramer showed optimism around the company, as he commented:

“Finally, at eighth place is another one I like so much, Lam Research, up 137%. That’s a semiconductor capital equipment maker. That is who the memory companies call when they need to have more capacity because prices are going up. And this one had a huge move today, by the way, up more than 5%.”

Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) develops equipment for depositing, etching, and cleaning semiconductor materials. It includes systems for tungsten and copper metallization, plasma and atomic-layer deposition, dielectric and conductor etch, and wafer cleaning. A caller asked about the company’s stock during the September 15, 2025, episode and Cramer responded:

“Yeah, someone downgraded Lam Research the other day, and I said, are you out of your mind? That’s the chief intellectual property of semiconductor capital equipment. I think it is still a buy even though it just had this parabolic move, up 65%. Do not sell it. Be a buyer.”
