MP Materials drop raises questions on mine-to-magnet strategy

MP Materials drop raises questions on mine-to-magnet strategy

MP Materials Corp opened Monday with fewer links to China than investors may read from the drop in the stock in June. The rare-earth miner reported it had zero revenue from rare-earth concentrate in the first quarter, versus $30.1 million a year ago, since it stopped selling concentrate in July 2025. Revenue from NdPr oxide and metal was up at $71.1 million. The recent share move looks tied to the cost and timing of building out U.S. magnet capacity, not a hit to China business.

  • Buybacks Near $1 Trillion as Insiders Keep Selling
    July 11, 2026, 2:09 PM EDT. U.S. companies have rolled out almost $1 trillion in stock buybacks for the first half, with tech and financial stocks making up 68% of the total. But corporate insiders are mostly selling, not buying, as they exercise stock options rather than load up on shares. That suggests less faith in the outlook. Research shows buyback-heavy stretches usually don't lead to outperformance-the data points to weaker returns when buybacks run high. Heavy insider selling during this buyback wave points to a more cautious view, pushing back on the usual bullish read on buybacks.
