22 public companies told the SEC they depend on Rare Earth.

If Rare Earth is disrupted, these are the companies that said, in their own filings, it could hurt them — a deterministic read, every line cited. Some may be in your portfolio.

    • For example, recent foreign export restrictions from China on certain rare-earth elements, metals and magnets, including samarium, used in our applications and in end-user products have disrupted our ability to reliably source materials, and constrained global supply could restrict our ability to manufacture certain products.

    • Arnold is a 50 % partner in a China rare earth mine-to-magnet joint venture.

    • Certain inputs are limited or sole-sourced, concentrated with a small number of suppliers, or primarily available from a single country, including semiconductor chips and critical materials (such as specialty metals and rare earths).

    • we are largely dependent upon foreign sources for certain raw materials, such as cobalt, tantalum, chromium, rhenium, nickel, and titanium, and we rely on foreign suppliers as single-source suppliers of some components. Some raw materials and components have been in the past sourced from areas now under sanctions, such as Russia, or are currently sourced from areas which are at risk of sanctions or other trade restrictive actions, such as China.

    • Generally, raw materials and components are available from several different suppliers, however, for certain products, such as components requiring rare earth minerals sourced from China and components requiring cobalt, the Company and its suppliers may rely on one or very few suppliers or suppliers concentrated in certain regions.

    • Our products, including motors, batteries, and other advanced components, rely on rare earth metals for their manufacturing, of which a significant majority are sourced from China.

    • We use various raw materials, such as copper, steel, zinc and rare earth magnets, in our manufacturing operations.

    • China maintains significant control over the majority of rare earth elements, which are essential elements in many electronic devices. Should China reinstate its export ban on rare earth elements or take other actions that restrict U.S. supply of these minerals, it would impact both the consumer electronics we sell and our business's underlying technological infrastructure.

    • The Tanbreez Project is expected to possess greater than 27% heavy rare earth elements (" HREE "), which carry a much higher value than light rare earth elements.

    • Constrained supply of REEs, minerals, and metals may restrict our ability to manufacture certain of our products and make it difficult or impossible to compete with other semiconductor memory and storage manufacturers who are able to obtain sufficient quantities of these materials from China.

    • certain of our products, including motors, batteries, and other components, rely on rare earth minerals for their manufacturing, of which a significant majority are sourced from China. The inability to obtain export permits for rare earth minerals could have a detrimental effect on our business.

    • China has, in the past, made threats of restricting exports of critical raw materials, including rare earth minerals essential to several of our components.

    • In addition, escalating trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as the conflict in Ukraine, have resulted in, and could further exacerbate, substantial price volatility and reduced availability of raw materials, including rare earth metals and natural gas used in our products or in our production operations.

    • We use a wide range of materials (primarily steel, copper and aluminum) and components (including semiconductors, electronic components, and components utilizing rare earth minerals) in the global production of our products... some key parts may be available only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers, we are subject to supply and pricing risk.

    • the limited availability of various components and materials, including certain rare earth elements, that are largely unique to China, among other risks.

    • Government actions relating to rare earth minerals that are used in certain of our products, including U.S. Government sourcing prohibitions on the import of such minerals and the imposition of export controls on such minerals by China, have ... raised concerns about supply availability. The rare earth supply chain continues to be vulnerable to disruption due to increasing scarcity and constrained capacity

    • Additionally, foreign governments may restrict our access to supply; for example, if China were to further restrict export of rare earth minerals, our suppliers' ability to obtain such supply may be constrained and we may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities, or obtain supply in a timely manner, or at a commercially reasonable cost.

    • China has in the past and may in the future use export controls to restrict rare earth minerals, and access to rare earth minerals has been used in the past and could be used in the future as a geopolitical tool in trade negotiations between the United States and China.

    • These groups and their affiliates control (and/or allocate to unaffiliated third parties) substantially all of China's quota for concentrate production and rare earth refining.

    • Changes in laws or regulations governing foreign trade, particularly in countries where we manufacture products or from which we import products or raw materials, either directly or through our suppliers, including materials subject to China's export control requirements such as rare earth minerals, could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.

    • our ability to successfully pursue our rare earth element mining, processing, refining, and commercialization activities which is a type of mining we have not previously pursued

    • For example, following the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the US on Chinese goods, China placed export controls on certain rare earth magnets. These restrictions create risk in our supply chain and may increase our costs or limit our ability to produce certain of our products that use rare earth magnets, to the extent we are unable to mitigate the related impacts of these restrictions.
