Jim Cramer Recommends MP Materials Over NioCorp

NioCorp Developments Ltd. (NASDAQ:NB) was among the stocks Jim Cramer discussed as he said that the Iran peace negotiations could trigger an oil glut, cool inflation, and pull interest rates down. When a caller asked about the stock during the lightning round, Cramer commented, “You know, a little too speculative. I like MP. I’m a traditionalist. That’s the one that’s got the government backing. I’d go with MP Materials.”

NioCorp Developments Ltd. (NASDAQ:NB) explores and develops mineral deposits. The company mainly focuses on its Elk Creek project to mine niobium, scandium, and titanium. Cramer mentioned the stock during the Squawk on the Street episode aired on October 20, 2025. He said:

Yeah I mean that’s a real company, but we have William Blair saying… they love NioCorp… These things are all like, unless Trump buys a stake in each of these one, you wanna sell these. You really do… because, why? Because, Antimony, it’s up 532% and they’re making a bid for some Australian rare earth, at six shares for one? That’s sounds like very 2000. Where they started merging, remember, cause they knew their stocks were too high.NeoCorp is up 432… Just buy MP Materials, that’s a real company… Do you think you’re early when a stock is up 432% for the year like NioCorp? Do you think you’re early?
