Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) is one of the stocks that Jim Cramer shared takes on, along with navigating market shortages. A caller mentioned that they look at Robinhood as a product that people stick with instead of just a stock. Cramer stated:
And you’re right. And you’re right. Robinhood has captured that young cohort. It’s captured the minds and imagination of young people as I try to do. And I can tell you they are on Robinhood, and it is a buy.

Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) operates a financial platform that allows users to trade stocks, ETFs, options, cryptocurrencies, and other assets. During the January 5 episode, Cramer showed bullish sentiment toward the stock for the long term, as he said:
In fifth place, we have the best performing non-memory stock in the S&P, and that’s Robinhood Markets, which was up just over 200% in one year. Despite the fact that it’s pulled back about 20% from its early October all-time high, as did many speculative stocks when there was a big peak, 2025 was a great year for the type of speculative assets that Robinhood’s younger clientele can’t get enough of until it wasn’t. That late-year pullback for crypto and speculative stocks is why this one cooled off. Now, look, I have to tell you, I really like Robinhood for a long-term story. For better or worse, a generation of investors is learning to invest on Robinhood, and that’s a generation that’s set to inherit more than a hundred trillion dollars from their baby boomer parents over the next couple of decades. Short-term, though, the stock might keep trading with crypto and the super speculative plays.
