SINOLINK SECURITIES stated that the recent record highs in rare earth prices are largely associated with the supply-side policies issued in 2024-2025, as the supply-side structural reform of the industry continues to advance. In December, China's export volume of rare earth permanent magnets fell 3% month-on-month but rose 7% year-on-year, hitting a record high for the same period in history; the full-year export volume in 2025 edged down 1% year-on-year, indicating strong overseas inventory replenishment demand. The rare earth sector is expected to see a continued dual uptick in valuation and earnings, and 2026 will also be a crucial year for resolving the horizontal competition of key listed targets in the sector.
