On CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer said Uranium Energy Corp. ( UEC ) is going higher. “UEC's the real deal…We need more uranium. I think it's a great situation,” he added.

On Sept. 23, Uranium Energy ( UEC ) disclosed a deal to fully acquire Rio Tinto Plc ( RIO )‘s Wyoming assets for a purchase price of $175 million. As per the deal, the buyout includes the fully licensed Sweetwater Plant and a portfolio of uranium mining projects with around 175 million pounds of historic resources.

When asked about Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) , he said, “Doesn't hold a candle to Eli Lilly ( LLY ) .”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), last week, wrote a letter to the Federal Trade Commission's chair, Lina Khan, urging the department to investigate Novo Nordisk’s proposed $16.5 billion acquisition of contract development and manufacturing organization Catalent Inc ( CTLT ) thoroughly, amid growing concerns about potential antitrust violations. Critics argue that this merger could increase Novo Nordisk's ( NVO ) control over producing vital GLP-1 receptor agonists, drugs used to treat diabetes and obesity. This could potentially drive up prices and limit competition.

Cramer recommended staying away from Halliburton ( HAL ) .

On Monday, BofA Securities analyst Chase Mulvehill maintained Halliburton ( HAL ) with a Buy rating and lowered the price target from $40 to $38.

Price Action:

Novo Nordisk ( NVO ) shares fell 0.2% to settle at $119.78 on Monday.

Uranium Energy ( UEC ) shares gained 0.7% to close at $7.14.

Halliburton ( HAL ) shares fell 0.8% to close at $30.58 on Monday.
