This week’s news revolved around tungsten supply-chain consolidation. On Monday (Sep 14), the US Department of War announced a landmark $450m committed investment in The Elmet Group to secure America’s tungsten supply chain. Elmet later disclosed plans for a majority-owned tungsten joint venture with Blue Moon Metals and EQ Resources at a Nevada complex. Tuesday’s (Sep 15) headlines added that the JV would restart the Nevada APT plant and sign a DLA offtake agreement, with EQ Resources taking a 10% stake in the project. These announcements arrived during the stock’s sharp retreat from its early-week high.\n\n## Analyst Ratings

As of 18 September 2026, five analysts have rated the stock: 2 buy and 3 overweight, with no hold, underweight or sell ratings. The consensus rating is buy, and the consensus target price is $15.01, about 186.5% above the current price of $5.24. The target range is also $15.01 on both the high and low ends, indicating very little dispersion among analysts. Within the diversified metals and mining industry, the stock ranks 25th out of 64 companies.\n\n## The Week Ahead

Next week brings several US macro prints: the Richmond Fed composite index on Tuesday (Sep 22), with a prior reading of 4; EIA weekly crude and Cushing crude inventories on Wednesday (Sep 23), at -0.64 and -0.342 respectively. Thursday (Sep 24) is busier, with initial jobless claims (prior 196), the current account balance (prior -226.8), new home sales annualised (prior 0.607, forecast 0.608) and EIA natural gas storage change (prior 44). For Blue Moon Metals, follow-through on the tungsten JV remains the key company-specific thread.\n\n## In Short

This week Blue Moon Metals fell while tungsten supply-chain integration news landed in a tight cluster. The ratings side skews positive, with a consensus target well above spot, but the heavy volume and wide swings early in the week show investors are still divided on how to price the stock’s role in the Nevada tungsten consolidation. The next test is how the JV execution progresses, and whether the macro calendar shifts sentiment across the mining complex.\n\nThis article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.
