USA Rare Earth, Inc. (Nasdaq: USAR) is developing a vertically integrated U.S. “mine-to-magnet” supply chain centered on rare earth materials, rare earth metals/alloys (via its Less Common Metals subsidiary), and NdFeB (neodymium-iron-boron) permanent magnet manufacturing, including operations in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

More about USA Rare Earth

The business model is primarily B2B, monetizing through sales of magnets and magnet-related products (and, over time, broader value-chain products such as alloys) as commercial production scales.

Market Position

USAR positions itself as an ex-China supplier targeting customers seeking domestic/secure sourcing for critical magnet applications, with differentiation anchored in vertical integration (materials → alloys → magnets) and manufacturing scale-up in the U.S. Its competitive set overlaps with U.S.-listed rare earth/materials players and emerging domestic supply-chain efforts, but pure-play public U.S. NdFeB magnet manufacturers remain limited.

How has the stock done?

Over the past year USAR fell 52.3%; the materials ETF (XLB) rose 18.8% and the S&P 500 rose 10.8%.

Dashed lines: the days the company released earnings (its SEC 8-K filings); EPS estimates: Yahoo Finance. The stock's move after a release runs from the last close before its day to the close the day after (or five days after), so a release before the open counts like one after the close.

From USA Rare Earth, Inc.'s 10-Q and 10-K filings (XBRL): each customer whose share of revenue a filing tags, under the filing's own label, so “Customer A” in one filing can be another company in the next; a later filing's figures for a period replace an earlier one's. A dash is a group of customers the filing gives (a government's agencies, the largest customers together, all the others): it can include the customers beside it, so the shares need not add up. Rings are fiscal years: a 10-K gives the year, not its fourth quarter.

Targets, ratings and earnings estimates: Yahoo Finance. Rating and target changes: Yahoo Finance's list of upgrades and downgrades. The average target on each day is the average of every listed firm's latest target set in the 180 days before it, so it counts fewer analysts than the average target above, and the band is the middle half of those targets (a quarter of the firms are above it, a quarter below); a target set before a stock split is divided by the split. Expected figures: the average of the analysts' estimates (Yahoo Finance). Their EPS is adjusted, as analysts estimate it, so it is set against the adjusted EPS Yahoo reports for the same quarters, not the GAAP EPS of the growth and valuation sections; revenue against the SEC filings. No change is given against a quarter whose reported EPS was more than 50% off its own estimate (often a one-off gain or charge), nor against a year that counts one. Each estimate is pinned to its fiscal period by the report date or the period's end, and one that cannot be is left out.

Where the cash goes

Capex of $140M exceeds operating cash flow of −$106M, leaving free cash flow of −$246M. The gap has to be covered with cash on hand or borrowing.

From the 13F filings of the 83 funds Hunch tracks, not of every institution: each fund's shares of USAR at its latest quarter end against the quarter before, as filed (long positions only, options left out), the quarter before put on the latest quarter's share count across a split. A fund files 45 days after its quarter ends, so some have a newer quarter than others. Value is at the quarter end.
