USA Rare Earth Shares Surge 11.5% Amid Strategic Acquisition and Leadership Hires
March 14, 2026, 8:12 AM EDT. USA Rare Earth shares rose 11.5% this week, outperforming the broader market despite a declining S&P 500. The company announced it will acquire the remaining 18.6% stake in the Round Top rare earth deposit from Texas Mineral Resources for about $73 million in stock. This deal reduces uncertainty around funding for Round Top's commercial development, scheduled to start in 2028 after magnet production begins in 2026. Additionally, USA Rare Earth appointed Gregory Bowman as Chief Global Policy Officer, leveraging his defense and government strategy experience to bolster ties with the U.S. Department of Defense. These moves position the company strongly in the critical heavy rare earth element sector, important for defense applications and federal support under the CHIPS Act.
