Thanks to the criticality of the rare-earth materials that undergird myriad advanced technologies, mining and processing specialist MP Materials (MP) stands on unique geopolitical ground. As the only operating rare earth mining facility in the U.S., MP’s success carries significant economic and national security interests. For that reason alone, any dips in its equity should be researched as potential discounted entries.
Sure enough, the performance of MP stock has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since the beginning of this year, MP stock gained nearly 276%. That means at the start of 2025, shares could have been purchased for under $20. While it’s unlikely that such prices will materialize again anytime soon, those who missed the boat previously may have another shot on their hands.
