Government Support Boost: Recent chatter on X about MP Materials has been fueled by a significant U.S. Department of Defense investment, reportedly worth $400 million. Many are noting the stock's impressive 300% surge this year, with shares nearing $100 at one point. The focus is on how this positions the company as a leader in rare earth metals.

Some users see this as a potential buying opportunity, while others express caution over insider sales and debt issues. Analyst upgrades, including one from Morgan Stanley to Overweight with a $71 target, are also stirring discussion.
Strategic Partnerships: Beyond government backing, X discussions point to MP Materials’ partnership with Apple as a key driver of interest.
