United States Antimony jumps 19% ahead of Q3 earnings amid defense contract optimism

United States Antimony's stock surged 19% as investors anticipate its Q3 2026 earnings report, driven by optimism over a $245 million defense contract with the Defense Logistics Agency. The company, which mines antimony used in flame retardants and ammunition primers, aims to improve margins through increased defense deliveries and expanded ore sources. However, its previous quarter showed a profit boost mainly from a one-time gain, with operating losses and falling antimony prices weighing on margins. The upcoming report will be closely watched for margin improvements and updates on facility expansions, while related critical minerals stocks like USA Rare Earth and Critical Metals also saw gains amid broader market risk appetite.

USA Rare Earth trades with a market cap of $3.09 billion and a volume of 13,323,930 shares on Pluang as of Nov 10, 2026 00:11 WIB. The stock price is up 8.57% at USD 8.93, reflecting strong investor interest alongside the gains in related critical minerals stocks mentioned in the news. This market activity highlights growing attention to the sector amid developments like United States Antimony's defense contract and earnings anticipation.
