Three Rare Earth Stocks to Watch
India is investing a lot in rare earth minerals because they are important for things like electric cars and wind turbines.
The government has approved a big program to make these minerals in India instead of importing them.
There are three companies to watch in this area: Owais Metal and Mineral Processing, NLC India, and Eco Recycling.
These companies are involved in different ways, like recycling old electronics or mining.
Their stock prices have gone down a lot from their highest points, but the government and these companies are planning to do more in this area.
Investors should be careful because these companies are not purely focused on rare earths, and the industry is still growing in India.
India has approved a Rs 72.8 billion program for rare earth permanent magnets manufacturing to reduce import reliance.
Owais Metal and Mineral Processing specializes in metals and minerals, including rare earth minerals from slag, and its stock is down 70% from its 52-week high.
NLC India focuses on lignite mining and thermal power generation and is exploring critical mineral blocks, with a stock down 15% from its 52-week high.
Eco Recycling is an e-waste management company preparing to commission a mineral recovery facility, with a stock down 57% from its 52-week high.
Investors should evaluate company fundamentals and valuations carefully as the rare earth industry in India is still in the momentum-gathering phase.
