On CNBC’s "Mad Money Lightning Round," Jim Cramer said Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. TPH is "still good. I do prefer Toll Brothers, Inc. TOL, and I prefer Lennar Corporation LEN, but I’ve got to admit the guys at Tri Pointe have really put together a fabulous business plan, and housing continues to go up in price no matter what the Fed does."

When asked about Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR, he said, "I had been against Palantir for some time until they put together a terrific quarter, and I told the CFO that, and I think they should come on because the stock’s going higher."

Cramer said Super Micro Computer, Inc. SMCI is a "good one, but you know it’s second to NVIDIA Corporation NVDA as a way to play AI."

"Got a big menu there, lot of choices, that’s OK," Cramer said, when asked about The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated CAKE. "My take is that Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG, down a lot today, is the one you want to go with."

The "Mad Money" host said that Copa Holdings, S.A. CPA is "impressive."

Cramer said Rocket Lab USA, Inc. RKLB is losing money. "Let’s move on from Rocket Labs," he added.

When asked about Kearny Financial Corp. KRNY, he said, "OK, that’s making a comeback, but I’ve got to tell you, if you’re going to be in the lower quality ones, you probably want to be in Key, which isn’t that bad, but otherwise Wells Fargo & Company WFC just announced a gigantic buyback. Why not go with Wells."
