Jim Cramer Prefers Albemarle Over Lithium Americas

Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE:LAC) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently looked at. During the lightning round, a caller mentioned that they have been considering the stock, and Cramer replied:

“No, no, no… Wrong one. You want Albemarle. Even though it’s up a lot, it’s a much safer stock. The symbol is ALB. Let’s go for that one.”

Lithium Americas Corp. (NYSE:LAC) operates lithium deposits and processing facilities, with its main project at Thacker Pass. During the episode aired on December 17, 2025, a caller inquired about the stock, and Cramer responded:

“No, no, there’s nothing there for you. We’re just going to have to skip it. That’s a yesteryear stock. It’s just, it’s a no-go.”
