Minerals Technologies Unveils $350M+ Rare Earth and Steel Slag Opportunities at Investor Day
MTX sits 24% above its 52-week low of $53.94.
Summary
At its 2026 Investor Day, Minerals Technologies presented two new growth initiatives: high-purity calcium metal for rare earth metallization, estimated to drive over $100 million in incremental revenue, and a steel slag repurposing technology with a U.S. addressable market exceeding $250 million. The company also reiterated its long-term targets. This follows a challenging Q2 with a $5.90 per share loss due to talc litigation charges, making these new revenue streams a potential offset. The calcium metal opportunity leverages existing U.S. production capabilities and targets aerospace, defense, and renewable energy markets. The steel slag application expands the company's NewYield technology beyond paper waste, tapping into critical minerals like magnesium and manganese. Management emphasized innovation as a core growth strategy, with the webcast available for further details.
