Jim Cramer Recommends Buying Apple, Finds This Tech Stock 'Very Interesting'
On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer said Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a “buy here.”
Apple's iPhone sales in China increased by 52% year-on-year in April, Reuters cited from industry reports.
When asked about Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR), he said, “It's very tough to understand what they really do for the government. So, therefore, I am no longer going to say that that's a stock to own.”
On May 6, Palantir said first-quarter revenue increased 21% year-over-year to $634 million, which beat the consensus estimate of $625.431 million.

On May 1, Axcelis Technologies posted better-than-expected quarterly results.
When asked about Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ:DDOG), Cramer said he wants quarterly earnings report from Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) today, as Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY) was “not as good as I'd like.” He added, “If Salesforce is not as good as I'd like, then Datadog's going to go down. Let's hold off for a day.”
On May 15, Needham analyst Mike Cikos reiterated Datadog with a Buy and maintained a $165 price target.
Cramer said Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO) is a “good growth” stock, but he likes Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) better.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:TROW) is “such a bargain,” the “Mad Money” host said. “I'd love to join you in owning that one.”
