Molycorp Slumps: MCP Falls 16.8% in Session

Molycorp, Inc. (MCP) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by almost 17% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent downtrend for MCP, as the stock is now down over 36% since Jun 19, 2014.

The metal products company has seen a flat record when it comes to current year estimate revisions over the past few weeks (0 increases, 0 decreases), and the consensus for earnings hasn’t been in a trend either. This recent price action is discouraging, so make sure to keep a close watch of this firm in the near future, and especially on earnings estimates following the recent slump.
