Is MP Materials Stock a Buy After Earnings?
MP Materials is trailing the market in 2026. Under the surface, however, the company is getting stronger.
Overview
MP Materials (NYSE: MP) was America's favorite rare earth mining stock last year -- or, at least, one of the Trump administration's favorite rare earth miners.
Indeed, MP stock tripled in 2025, with much of those gains occurring after the Pentagon's public-private partnership with MP was announced last July. At one point last year, MP was up more than 400%, before giving back much of those gains last October. Fast forward to today, and MP Materials is trading about 45% lower than its 52-week high.

The stock might not repeat last year's performance. Yet if its recent earnings tell us anything, it's that MP deserves a second look. Here's what you should know.
