Social Capital founder and venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya said on Tuesday that while the United States controls parts of the rare earth supply chain, such as mining and magnet manufacturing, its critical weakness lies in refining rare earths into oxides, a process dominated by Asia and particularly China.“Step 2 is our Achilles heel,” he wrote in a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/chamath/status/1988270865080029482">post</a> on X, noting that refining is “mostly done in Asia, and overwhelmingly done in China or by Chinese counterparties in places like Vietnam.”Palihapitiya said the U.S. must find a “leveraged way and place to make oxides,” calling India the most obvious choice given its lower costs and skilled workforce.<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/chamath/status/1988270865080029482" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img style="aspect-ratio:1208/1192;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_11_11_at_11_21_48_AM_png_596cb0812d.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-11-11 at 11.21.48 AM.png" width="1208" height="1192"></a><figcaption>@chamath/X</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">India’s Cost Advantage Over China</h2>According to Palihapitiya, refining rare earth oxides is a “dirty and complicated business,” but one in which India holds a significant economic advantage. “China has a 2x cost advantage vs the U.S. in making oxides, but India has a 6x advantage vs China and also has the human talent,” he said.Palihapitiya suggested that India’s refining potential could help reduce China’s grip on the global rare earths market, which supplies critical materials used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense systems.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Missing Piece</h2>Palihapitiya cautioned that investment in India’s refining capacity is unlikely to accelerate without a U.S.-India trade deal.

VinFast’s Q4 Loss Widens But EV Maker Eyes Doubling Deliveries In 2025: Retail’s Unconvinced

Adjusted loss per share came in at VND13,074 ($0.54) for the quarter, exceeding an estimated loss of $0.22 per share.

Shares of Chinese EV maker Nio, Inc. ended Friday more than 4.4% lower, hitting lows last seen nearly two weeks ago, following disappointing quarterly&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/nio-stock-drops-after-q4-earnings-disappoint-wall-street/ch78CPrRb5c">results</a> that drew some cautionary notes from Wall Street analysts. But retail traders have not given up just yet.According to The Fly, BofA Securities lowered its price target on Nio to $4.90 from $5 — which still presents an upside of $0.40 from the last close — and kept a 'Neutral' rating on the shares.BofA analysts noted that Nio's fourth-quarter sales jumped 16% year-over-year and 6% from the prior quarter, and the gross profit margin also improved.However, the research firm attributed Nio's higher-than-expected operating expenses (OPEX) to sales ratio to increased marketing expenses for new brands and products and service network expansion for Onvo — a sub-brand aimed at the mass market.The company also reported a 528 million yuan (RMB) non-operating loss from overseas asset revaluation due to currency depreciation, compared to gains in the previous quarter and the year-ago period.&nbsp;While volume growth in 2025 remains a positive factor, BofA remains on the sidelines, citing concerns over slower margin expansion and high OPEX.Citi, meanwhile, lowered its price target on Nio to $8.10 from $8.90 while maintaining a 'Buy' rating.&nbsp;The research firm expects Nio's first-quarter (Q1) vehicle margin to decline quarter-over-quarter to 11%-12%, citing seasonal weakness in car sales, sluggish demand for the Nio brand ahead of upgraded model launches in the second quarter (Q2), and lower-than-expected sales of Onvo.However, Citi anticipates earnings improvements starting in mid-Q2, driven by an aggressive rollout of new models in April and May and margin gains on "better scale effect."On Stocktwits, sentiment for Nio dipped from a week ago, but still ended on a ‘bullish’ level, accompanied by a 41% jump in message volume.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1318/302;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/NIO_sentiment_and_message_volume_as_of_March_23_png_ac9f78dce3.webp" alt="NIO sentiment and message volume as of March 23.png" width="1318" height="302"><figcaption>NIO sentiment and message volume as of March 23. | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Several retail traders on the platform became more optimistic after Nio&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://nengpower.com/2025/03/21/nio-launches-chinas-largest-virtual-battery-swap-station-in-suzhou-transforming-grid-interaction/">reportedly</a> launched China's biggest virtual battery swap station, with a regulation capacity of 20,000 kilowatts.These are places where multiple stations are connected and managed as a single, virtual entity to optimize energy consumption and grid stability<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Palmerston/message/608962822</stembedurl>One user was hopeful based on the data about China’s EV battery swaps growing at a “healthy rate.”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/HonestJoe/message/608969667</stembedurl>Nio’s U.S.-listed stock has lost more than 11% in the past 12 months but is up 1.8% this year.A recent Stocktwits poll&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/retail-bets-nio-stock-to-finish-march-at-4-month-highs/ch7WzlNRbTu">reveals</a> that most retail traders believe Nio will close March above $5.50.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
