USA Rare Earth stock surged 8% Monday after a $1.3 billion loan from the Commerce Department and a $277 million equity stake purchase. However, concerns about government subsidies led to a complete loss of those gains. Today, the stock is up 5.8%, with Cantor Fitzgerald raising its price target to $35.
After receiving a $1.3 billion loan and $277 million equity stake, USA Rare Earth now has $3.5 billion in cash, reducing the risk of running out of funds before becoming profitable. Analysts believe magnet production could generate $1.2 billion in EBITDA by 2030 if milestones are met, according to TheFly.com.
Despite profits being four years away, analysts believe a cash burn of $285 million should get USA Rare Earth to profitability. With enough cash to reach profitability by 2030 even if off by a factor of 10, the company may not be a buy, but it won’t go bust.
