USA Rare Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAR) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar as he highlighted AI winners to buy for 2026. When a caller inquired about the stock during the lightning round, Cramer said, “No, the only one we’re recommending in that area is MP Materials.”

USA Rare Earth, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAR) supplies rare earth elements and other critical minerals, including neodymium, dysprosium, terbium, gallium, beryllium, and lithium. Cramer called it “risky” when a caller asked about the stock during the April 27 episode. The Mad Money host commented:

Well, it is up 100%, and what we’re discovering is the companies that are up between say 60 and 100% are rolling over and not going higher. I want to wait for a pullback… I think it’s too risky right here.

While we acknowledge the potential of USAR as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
