MP Materials up +8.9% in a week after Trump's bullish mention. DoD owns MP stock.
What you should know:
- The Trump Administration bought $400M worth of MP Materials stock on July 10, 2025.
- MP is up 23% since then.
- The stock surged 8.9% after Trump said “Department of War took a $400 million stake in MP Materials, which is already worth nearly $1.2 billion. It's gone up greatly in value.”
- That claim isn’t accurate (he remembers the peak where MP was $100 per share), but the comment appears to have moved the stock.
