- Wednesday, January 23, 3:59 PM Molycorp's (MCP -11%) ugly day nears a merciful end, capped by a Dahlman Rose downgrade based on the unanticipated additional scaling up of capital requirements, also noting an additional $130M in capex for 2013. Assuming the proposed $300M capital raise is finalized, 25M new shares are issued and the revised capex, the firm sees a negative ~$1.00/share impact to NAV. 1 Comment [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Wednesday, January 23, 11:52 AM Molycorp (MCP -7.4%) plunges after warning of substantially lower than expected production in Q4 2012 and H1 2013 while foreseeing a $250M cash shortfall even with its proposed $300M capital raise. But hope springs eternal for some, as Oracle's Laurence Balter remains bullish: "They are raising less capital than I thought... Investors need to be patient." 6 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]

Wednesday, January 23, 9:10 AM
Premarket gainers: MAPP +59%. TELK +23%. CREE +14%. ISRG +9%. RFMD +6%. ACAD +6%. GOOG +5%.
Losers: COH -17%. MCP -14%. NMRX -14%. STSI -11%. BNNY -8%. GD -5%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Wednesday, January 23, 7:22 AM Molycorp (MCP) -4.3% premarket as the company sets a capital raise, offering a secondary of $200M in common stock and $100M of convertible notes. Both figures could rise another 15% if underwriters exercise their options to buy. (PR) 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, January 14, 9:54 AM Early strength in Molycorp (MCP +2.2%) is attributed to a takeover story making the rounds highlighting the shares' recent fall below NAV which is turning the high-potential firm into a prime takeover target. Even after rebounding from a record low in November, MCP still trades at a 19% discount to their book value. 1 Comment [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]

Midday top 10 Losers: MCP -21%. GIG -21%. DRWI -20%. UNXL -14%. PRXI -8%. QRM -8%. ASNA -8%. THLD -8%. SSRI -8%. PRGN -7%. 1 Comment [On the Move] - Thursday, January 10, 9:46 AM Molycorp (MCP -19.3%) plummets at the open after projecting lower-than-expected revenue and cash flow this year due to weakening rare earth prices. J.P. Morgan cuts its price target on shares to $5 from $8: "We continue to believe MCP will likely have to seek additional capital beyond just a revolver and/or equipment leaseback." AVL -3.9%, REE -3.1%. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]

Premarket gainers: NOK +20%. SVU +19%. NEWL +18%. QLIK +8%. CRUS +7%. STM +5%.
Losers: MCP -12%. ASNA -12%. ARO -9%. TIF -8%. Comment! [On the Move] - Thursday, January 10, 7:49 AM Molycorp (MCP) slides 8.7% premarket as the company warns its 2013 revenue and cash flow will far short of expectations. "(The company) is evaluating its capital needs." (PR) 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, January 7, 7:27 AM China sets at 46.9K metric tons its first rare earth production quota for 2013 - roughly half the level of 2012. Molycorp (MCP) gains 3% premarket, also helped by Lawrence Balter putting the stock on his list of 2013 underdogs to surprise. The bad news and then some is baked in, he says, keeping his $50 price target on the shares. 10 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Wednesday, January 2, 8:12 AM Molycorp (MCP) +7.3% premarket, as the company’s low valuation and the chance to lock in rare-earth resources could make it a potential takeover target, Bloomberg reports. Analysts say manufacturers from Nissan (NSANY.OB) to Siemens (SI) could be interested, and shares could fetch $15 in a takeover. 1 Comment [Commodities, M&A, On the Move]

Premarket gainers: YMI +79%. DSTI +15%. SCMP +11%. ACAD +9%. BGMD +10%.
Losers: RSOL -16%. CIE -11%. MCP -6%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 9:06 AM Despite the immediate negative reaction to the ouster of Molycorp (MCP) CEO Mark Smith - shares -5.5% premarket - investors may come around to a more positive view. Smith "had lost credibility" with constituents, shareholders, potential investors and analysts, a J.P. Morgan analyst says; "his ability to deal with the financials of an emerging company appeared to overwhelm him at times," says another. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 5:17 PM Conspicuously absent from Mark Smith's resignation announcement was any mention of the SEC investigation over the accuracy of Molycorp's (MCP) disclosures. The take from 24/7's Jon Ogg: "To announce that a CEO has left the company with no explanation in the midst of a regulatory investigation is not in good taste at all. It could even be alarming." MCP -5.3% AH. 9 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 4:32 PM Molycorp (MCP) says CEO Mark Smith has resigned; no explanation is offered. Board vice chairman Constantine Karayannopoulos is named interim president and chief executive. Shares -6.3% AH. 12 Comments [Breaking News, Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 4:00 PM Molycorp (MCP +5.8%) posts its second straight strong gain, as the picture grows brighter: Large stockpiles of rare earths are finally starting to dwindle, and top competitor Lynas is undergoing regulatory problems with Malaysia's government. How much higher can MCP climb? Oracle's Laurence Balter has a $50 price target, but shares still would be shy of their 2011 summer high near $7. 4 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
