1. What’s moving the stock today
USA Rare Earth (USAR) traded higher today (+3.25% to $28.29) in a continuation of the rare-earth “reshoring” trade, with investors clustering around U.S.-aligned supply-chain names after a string of recent catalysts for the company. USAR has been in focus since announcing a definitive agreement to acquire Serra Verde Group for an implied equity value of about $2.8 billion, a transaction designed to add an operating rare-earth mine and processing asset (Pela Ema in Goiás, Brazil) and deepen access to magnet-critical heavy rare earths ahead of a planned close in Q3 2026.
