Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Strong strategic tailwind (Pentagon backing within a ~$1.2B national program, China-free metallization) and a real operating plant, but the headline 'Freedom Facility' is pre-construction, conditional, and ~2 years from any output.
- Next
- Track Freedom Facility site selection + financial close of the conditional DoD loan, and Exeter ramp from ~200 tons/yr toward 1,000 tons/yr.
