Since August, prices of key rare earth varieties have skyrocketed, with an average increase exceeding RMB 100,000 per ton. Additionally, prices of permanent magnets have shown a swift upward trajectory, with the latest quote for NdFeB N35 reaching RMB 144.5 per kilogram, marking a 10.7% increase within the month and a stunning 51.3% rise year-to-date. Reflecting on 2024, rare earth prices plummeted, resulting in a sharp drop in the performance of the A-share rare earth sector. However, this year, the sector has witnessed a remarkable turnaround, attributed to the combined effect of a low performance base and the rebound in rare earth prices. According to DataBao statistics, as of August 21, 14 rare earth permanent magnet companies have disclosed their first-half performance data (encompassing forecasts, preliminary reports, and annual reports), with a majority of firms reporting anticipated growth or transforming losses into profits. Notably, Northern Rare Earth Group, a leading stock, saw its net profit soar over 18 times year-on-year.
