On the latest edition of CNBC's “Mad Money Lightning Round,” Jim Cramer called Kodiak Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:KOD) is a “pure spec” stock.

“If you like [Kodiak], accept the risk. But otherwise, no go from me,” he added.

On the earnings front, Kodiak Sciences, on Aug. 13, posted a second-quarter loss of $1.03 per share, compared to market estimates of a loss of $1.02 per share.

Cramer recommended buying Oklo Inc. (NYSE:OKLO), which received a Buy rating and announced a price target of $92 from BofA Securities analyst Dimple Gosa on Tuesday.

“I'm not positive on oil right now,” Cramer said when asked about Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE:TPL). “We're just not going to go there.”

Texas Pacific Land, on Aug. 6, reported worse-than-expected second-quarter sales results.

Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE:CARR) is “too low. You've got to do some buying,” Cramer said.
