Is MP Materials ($MP) still a good buy?


I did a quick search, and it looks like it's been a while since MP had its own discussion thread.

Why I’m hesitant at first glance:

  • trading near all-time highs
  • P/E ratio of 76

In case you’re unfamiliar with them, here’s a snippet from their website:

“MP Materials helps fuel the electrification of global infrastructure. We are the largest producer of rare earth materials in the Western Hemisphere, through our state-of-the-art, zero-discharge operations in Mountain Pass, California. We currently deliver approximately 15% of global rare earth supply with a long term focus on Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr), a crucial input to the powering of electric vehicles, wind turbines, drones, robots and many other advanced technologies.”

And some a few reasons they’re making waves:

  • YoY revenue and net income growth were easily in the triple digits for each quarter of 2021
  • In February, the DoD signed a contract with MP for $35 million, trying to reinforce America’s supply chain of precious metals.
  • In December, GM signed a long-term deal with MP for supplying materials, alloys, and magnets for its EV lineups.

I plan to compile and share my research here and via my website next week, but I figured I’d get your opinions first.
