Friday, May 10, 2:31 PM Molycorp (MCP +35.5%) shares are at the day's high after better-than-expected Q1 results, but at least some analysts remain cautious. Stifel Nicolaus cuts its 2013 earnings forecast on an assumed sales volume decline in part of MCP's business and more conservative pricing. Goldman Sachs shares concerns about pricing until the integration of its chlor-alkali plant later this year. 10 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]

Friday, May 10, 10:23 AM A new processing facility at Molycorp's (MCP +20.5%) Mountain Pass mine should reach full production by mid-year, but a chlor-alkali plant at the mine that would allow for cost cuts by recycling some chemicals is not due to start operating until later in the year, MCP says in last night's conference call. MCP will be unable to sufficiently cut costs until the plant is online, so it may cut production at the processing plant. 3 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]

Friday, March 15, 5:15 PM Molycorp's (MCP) deal to distribute its cerium-based water treatment product to municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants may have eased some investor concerns about MCP's cerium capacity, Goldman Sachs says (also).

Friday, March 15, 11:58 AM Molycorp (MCP +4%) is maintained at Neutral by Goldman Sachs after reporting Q4 results, as the firm notes positives at MCP despite supply and demand challenges in rare earths this year.
