On June 2, USA Rare Earth rose 6.34% in regular trading, trading at $30.345/share, with trading volume of approximately $152 million. The stock surged on multiple positive catalysts converging simultaneously.
On the news front, investment bank Needham initiated coverage of USA Rare Earth with a Buy rating and a $39 price target. The analyst noted that with the Serra Verde acquisition expected to close in Q3, LCM business integration progressing, and first magnet products scheduled to ship to customers in H2, the company is on the eve of a major capacity ramp. Needham believes USA Rare Earth is positioned to build a more complete domestic rare earth and magnet supply chain in the U.S. and benefit from global supply chain restructuring trends.
Additionally, the company announced the selection of Cherokee County, South Carolina, as the site for a new magnet manufacturing and refined metals facility, targeting annual production capacity of 6,400 metric tons of magnets and 5,000 metric tons of strip-cast metal, with commissioning targeted for 2028. Combined with Oklahoma facility expansions, total domestic capacity is expected to reach 10,000 metric tons per year. The company also announced plans to invest over 175 million euros in French manufacturing operations through 2030.
