On August 21, MP Materials Corp. rose 5.51% in regular trading, trading at $57.62/share, with turnover of $42.78 million. The broader Diversified Metals & Mining sector showed pronounced strength, with the move appearing as a technical rebound following the prior session's 5.19% decline.
On the sector front, rare earth and mining stocks rallied broadly, with USA Rare Earth Inc. up 6.37%, HudBay Minerals up 5.67%, Teck Resources up 4.01%, BHP Billiton up 2.97%, and Rio Tinto up 2.50%. The previous session's sell-off was attributed to a pullback in rare earth oxide prices, with neodymium-praseodymium oxide falling 2.72% week-over-week and terbium oxide also declining notably, pressuring valuations across the supply chain.
Fundamentally, MP Materials reported Q2 revenue of $108.49 million, beating the $99.18 million consensus estimate and representing 89% year-over-year growth, though adjusted EPS of -$0.01 narrowly missed expectations. Deutsche Bank maintains a Buy rating with a $58 price target, while the analyst consensus target stands at $77.16.
