MP Materials Corp. is strategically positioned to benefit from rising rare earth metals demand, driven by industries like EVs, wind turbines, and defense technology. MP Materials aims to control the entire rare earth value chain, from mining to magnet production, reducing U.S. reliance on China. The company reported a net loss in Q4 2024 due to high production costs but expects significant growth and profitability by 2026.

MP is completing its full integration this FY25, from the mining to the magnet production. Financial engineering has been exemplary: cash preservation helped by prepayments from future customers, stock buybacks done at low prices, and debt refinancing completed. Margins should increase significantly over the next two years as NdPr metal production reaches its full target, while magnets should enjoy premium prices.
