MP Materials Stock Soars as CEO Boasts ’We’re Years Ahead—With Billions in the Bank’
Rare earth giant MP Materials just flexed its dominance—and Wall Street is buying it.
Shares surged after CEO James Litinsky dropped the mic: 'We’ve got a multi-year lead and billions in reserves while competitors are still scribbling business plans.'
The rare earth arms race heats up
As global demand for magnets and EVs explodes, MP’s Mountain Pass mine is the only U.S. site processing heavy rare earths. No new permits? No problem—they’re sitting on 15% of global supply.
Short sellers get steamrolled
The stock’s 30% monthly gain left bears scrambling. One analyst quipped: 'Turns out, betting against a monopoly takes more than a Bloomberg terminal and a hunch.'
Litinsky’s final jab? 'We don’t chase markets—we create them.' Cue the investor applause… and the inevitable SEC filing for that bold claim.
