The Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: XJO) share price is in focus today after the company delivered its highest quarterly sales revenue since 2022 and reported a sharp lift in rare earth oxide (REO) production.
What did Lynas Rare Earths report?
- Quarterly gross sales revenue of A$265.0 million, up 115% from Q3 FY25
- Sales receipts of A$234.0 million
- Closing cash and short-term deposits at A$1,070.0 million
- Total REO production of 3,233 tonnes, including 1,996 tonnes of NdPr
- First-ever production of Samarium oxide, ahead of schedule
- CAPEX, exploration, and development payments reduced to A$32.6 million for the quarter
What else do investors need to know?
Lynas recorded its strongest revenue in almost four years, driven by a 25% increase in the average NdPr selling price and higher volumes of rare earth sales. The sales mix was further enhanced with the introduction of Samarium oxide, making Lynas the only commercial producer and supplier of both light and heavy rare earths outside China.
The company renewed its Malaysian operating licence for 10 years, offering stability for further investment. Lynas also announced two new agreements with Japanese partners JARE, including a 12-year NdPr supply contract at minimum pricing, and a framework to boost rare earths cooperation. In March, Lynas inked a framework agreement with LS Eco Energy for a new rare earth metal facility in Vietnam, supporting their strategy to expand the metal and magnet supply chain outside China.
What did Lynas Rare Earths management say?

Our ramp up has delivered strong production and sales outcomes, with key initiatives positioning Lynas for the future and strengthening business resilience.
