flag MP Materials stock soared 20% in October 2025 as U.S.-China trade tensions and China’s new rare earth export rules boosted demand for American alternatives.

flag MP Materials shares surged over 20% in October 2025, hitting new highs amid U.S.-China trade tensions and China’s new export rules requiring licenses for goods containing more than 0.1% rare earths sourced from or processed using Chinese technology. flag The restrictions, effective December 1, aim to strengthen China’s control over critical minerals, boosting global interest in alternative suppliers. flag As North America’s only large-scale rare earth producer, MP Materials benefits from increased demand for secure supply chains, supported by a $400 million U.S. Department of Defense investment, a $500 million Apple partnership, and plans for a Texas magnet facility and recycled magnet production by 2027. flag These developments have driven a 135% stock rise since July and underscore efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese rare earths.
