MP Materials Corp. Posts Strong Q3 Growth with Rare Earth Production and New Magnet Sales
MP Materials Corp. ($mp) delivered a robust third quarter, reporting revenue that surged 176% year over year to $147.7 million, well above analyst expectations. This impressive growth was fueled by a 41% increase in neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) oxide production and a 94% jump in sales volumes, alongside stronger market pricing and a notable $31.6 million sale of SEG+ rare earth products to a U.S. aerospace and defense customer. The company’s adjusted diluted earnings per share came in at $0.04, beating estimates and marking a significant turnaround from prior losses. Adjusted EBITDA swung to a positive $41.1 million from a loss the previous year, reflecting improved operational efficiency and price protection income.
On the operational front, $mp completed the magnet qualification process for General Motors, with saleable magnet deliveries and revenue starting in the fourth quarter. This milestone signals a key expansion into magnet manufacturing, complementing its mining operations. The company also anticipates commercial-scale production of heavy rare earth elements like dysprosium and terbium to begin soon, supporting electric vehicle motor demand. Despite some expected lumpiness in magnet sales and startup costs through 2027, $mp maintains a strong balance sheet with $1.34 billion in cash and short-term investments, positioning it well for growth initiatives. The CEO highlighted this quarter as an inflection point, underscoring the strategic importance of integrating mining and magnet production to serve defense and clean energy markets.
While $mp shares have lagged the broader market this year, the company’s recent earnings beat and new contracts, including a multi-year supply deal with Apple and government-backed agreements, provide a foundation for more predictable revenue streams. Investors will be watching closely how ramping production and expanding magnet sales impact profitability and growth in the coming quarters.
U.S. markets are closed for the weekend and will reopen on Monday, November 9th, 2026, at 9:30 AM ET.
