Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:SHAK) is among Jim Cramer’s recent stock calls as he urged investors to stand by the defense sector. A caller asked how to know whether to buy, sell, or hold the stock. In response, Cramer said:

I’ve gotta tell you, here’s what you’re missing: Rob Lynch runs Shake Shack now. Shake Shack was not run the way I would’ve liked it. Rob Lynch is a winner… The reason why you would stay with it is because of a fundamental change at the company. And in this particular case, call me bullish.

Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:SHAK) operates and licenses a chain of restaurants that serve burgers, chicken, hot dogs, fries, shakes, frozen custard, and beverages. A caller inquired about the stock during the episode aired on December 11, 2025. The Mad Money host replied:

Okay, this is such a great question. Now, you have to understand that Rob Lynch is doing a remarkable job, and he’s a great CEO. Here’s the problem: this stock is trading with the price of beef and cattle, went up and up and up. I think the president’s going to try to bring cattle down. I think that means you buy Shake Shack. I think it doesn’t matter where a stock comes from, it matters where it’s going to. I would never bet against Rob Lynch. I think that you buy Shake Shack at $79 a share.
