Is MP Materials Stock a Buy Now?
MP Materials (NYSE: MP) was on a tear in 2025. By the end of the year, shares of the rare-earth miner and permanent magnet manufacturer were up 224%. At one point in October 2025, shares of MP had climbed about 440%, before a broader sell-off in the market sent the stock back to earth.
MP stock is currently beating the market, with a roughly 10.5% gain so far this year. Even with policy winds at its back, however, a few things need to go right for this rare-earth company to have another breakout year.
MP Materials is a U.S.-based rare-earth company that owns and operates the Mountain Pass mine in California, which is currently one of the only large-scale rare-earth mines in the country. It also operates a facility called Independence in Fort Worth, Texas, that can turn rare-earth material into permanent magnets that generate their own magnetic field.
