On August 4, MP Materials Corp. rose 5.3% in regular trading, trading at $46.49/share, with turnover of $159 million. The rally comes as the company is scheduled to report Q2 earnings on August 6 after market close, with consensus estimates projecting revenue growth of 117.39% year-over-year.

The stock has been in an oversold recovery phase after previously dropping over 10% following an industry report indicating its Texas magnet factory commissioning would be delayed to 2028. Supporting bullish sentiment, Q1 results beat expectations with revenue surpassing estimates by 18.5% and adjusted EPS of $0.03 exceeding the breakeven consensus. Wedbush subsequently raised its price target to $100, maintaining an outperform rating, citing growing confidence in MP Materials' vertically integrated mine-to-magnet platform. Deutsche Bank maintains a buy rating with a $61 target, while Barclays initiated coverage at overweight.

Within the Diversified Metals & Mining sector, peers also gained: HudBay Minerals up 6.22%, Teck Resources up 5.6%, USA Rare Earth up 4.79%, BHP Billiton up 4.28%, and Rio Tinto up 2.87%.
