NEW Long Idea: $USAR (+96% upside)
China just weaponized 7 rare earth elements.
Everyone bought $MP. $UUUU. $LYSCF.
They’re all wrong layer.
Here’s why, and what the actual play is:
The supply chain looks like this:
Mine → Separation → Metallization → Magnet → Defense/EV/Robots
Everyone is focused on mining ($UUUU producing Dy/Tb oxide for the first time in US history, March 2026).
But none is talking about metallization.
Oxide is not metal. Magnet makers need metal. The step between separated oxide and magnet-grade metal is called metallization; reduction under high vacuum at extreme temperature using proprietary furnace technology.
There is exactly one company doing this in North America: $ALOY (REalloys Inc., Ohio).
And one company controlling the only US integrated mine-to-magnet stack: $USAR (USA Rare Earth, Texas).
$USAR controls Round Top, one of the few US deposits with meaningful dysprosium and terbium, and is commissioning the first domestic mine-to-magnet production in decades at Stillwater, OK.
$3.1B in government and private capital already closed.
First commercial magnets: Q2 2026.
Section 301 probe deadline: July 20, 2026.
If tariffs hit Chinese magnets, $USAR is the only US alternative at commercial scale.
Not $MP. Not $UUUU. $USAR.
Current market cap: $1.8B.
Analyst avg PT: $33 (+96% upside).
The obvious trade is mining. The real trade is the only integrated stack.
