MP Materials (MP-N) is positioned favorably with expectations for positive news, particularly due to U.S. interests in reducing dependency on China for rare earth materials. Experts note a scarcity value linked to the recent Pentagon investment and a contract with Apple, fueling excitement around the stock. However, caution is advised since the company has experienced financial losses in the past two years, and with an EPS of 35 cents projected for the upcoming year, it appears expensive at 171 times earnings. Despite the current hype characterized by a fear of missing out (FOMO) trade, analysts suggest that this excitement may wane, especially given high short interest and concerns regarding future large deals. The prevailing sentiment advises investors to consider leaving the stock to consolidate its recent gains rather than jumping in at its heightened valuation.
Certainly the company has a scarcity value, and recent news (The Pentagon investment and AAPL's contract) are extremely positive overall. There is a FOMO trade happening here, but it is important to note that the company has lost money in the past two years, with 35c in EPS expected next year. This makes it 'not cheap' certainly at 171X earnings. EPS could accelerate, though, and in a positive market investors are caring less on valuations. But we think we would side with caution for the moment. The likelihood of another big deal in the short term we think is low, and we think this excitement will fade, at least a bit, and we would prefer to let the stock consolidate recent gains. It still has a 23% short interest and part of the recent gains are clearly from panicked short sellers covering, and this made fade.
