MP Materials is critical infrastructure for EVs and defense as the only US rare-earth mine and the only Western company with a complete mine-to-magnet supply chain. Revenue grew 49% year over year, it produced its first commercial magnets and cut off all sales to China. It has a $32M prepayment from Apple and over $2B of federal backing. x.com 

MP Materials is the most mature US rare earth company and the main pillar of America's effort to break China's grip, preferred over USA Rare Earth. It runs Mountain Pass, the only active large-scale US mine, hit record NdPr output in 2025, and its Texas magnet plant is in commercial production. Heavy rare earth separation begins commissioning in mid-2026, and a new plant targets 10,000 tons of magnets from 2028. Pentagon and Apple backing help, but replacing China at scale will take 2-3 years. … Show more

MP Materials risks repeating Molycorp's boom-and-bust history, since the deposit has been a financial disaster since its discovery, and this time may not be different. @JonahLupton argues rare earth demand could double or triple, with MP earning $1 billion-plus of EBIT by 2030, and that Molycorp's failure came over a decade ago under different management. x.com  x.com 

MP Materials and USA Rare Earth are pulled forward by government backing and pushed by mega-cap support, setting them up to be 2026's second-biggest missed opportunity after Intel. x.com 

Rare earth magnets are the next big investment theme as the White House and Pentagon fund a US supply chain outside China, backing a bench of winners. The Pentagon took a 15% stake in MP Materials with a decade-long magnet price floor and committed about $258M to Lynas' Texas plant. USA Rare Earth is building a mine-to-magnet chain, Energy Fuels adds rare earth separation to its uranium mill, NioCorp has a Lockheed deal, IperionX has $47.1M of Pentagon backing, and Ramaco mines them from coal. … Show more

USA Rare Earth, Energy Fuels and MP Materials are a pass for now because whale accumulation on their weekly charts is gradually decreasing. They are not a favored setup yet. x.com 

MP Materials looks like a no-brainer at current prices because the US has no choice but to back domestic rare earth suppliers. Rare earth demand should at least double in five years, and China could cut off supply at any time, making MP a national-security hedge with a big government stake. About $1.15B of 2030 EBIT at 30x implies roughly $200 a share. With customers in chips, robotics, drones and defense, MP deserves a premium to Freeport and BHP, and it is 2+ years ahead of USA Rare Earth. … Show more

Domestic rare-earth and critical-mineral supply chains will make this stock group a generational wealth builder this year. REalloys has Army negotiations and an EXIM letter of interest; USA Rare Earth is developing a mine-to-magnet chain; MP Materials is expanding into magnets; Energy Fuels processes rare earths; and Lithium Americas is advancing Thacker Pass with GM and DOE support. REalloys paid to be included in this list. x.com  x.com  x.com 

MP Materials is one of the strongest US pure plays on rare earth magnets, which power the high-performance actuators humanoid robots need for precise movement. If humanoids scale globally over the next decade, demand for these materials could explode. Per @aleabitoreddit, China holds the cards over humanoid mass production, so the US needs to fund sovereign rare earth supply chains. x.com  x.com 

MP Materials' domestic rare-earth magnets must and will succeed as demand from the military, drones, space, robots, EVs and data centers grows tremendously and Chinese magnets are shut out; Trump won't take a single Chinese magnet, even if offered. The weekly chart still holds a flag tracked for almost a year, above the 30-week EMA, with RSI breaking out and MACD and slow stochastics turning up. x.com  x.com
