This facility, combined with the company\u2019s move toward full vertical integration and expansion of its Thompson Falls smelter, reinforces its role as a domestic supplier for defense-related and industrial uses of antimony that require non-Chinese sourcing. We\u2019ll examine how this push toward full vertical integration, centered on the upgraded Montana flotation facility, shapes United States Antimony\u2019s investment narrative. <\/p>\n<p>These <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/discover\/investing-ideas\/434411\/trump-tariffs\/global\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-vars-link-type=\"intro\" class=\"company-report-links\">10 companies survived and thrived after COVID and have the right ingredients to survive Trump&#8217;s tariffs<\/a>. Discover why before your portfolio feels the trade war pinch.<\/p>\n<p>What Is United States Antimony&#8217;s Investment Narrative?<\/p>\n<p>To own United States Antimony, you have to believe in its attempt to become a fully integrated, domestic supplier of antimony and related byproducts, tied closely to U.S. defense and industrial demand. The Radersburg flotation facility acquisition fits that story neatly, because it links Alaskan and Montanan ore directly into the company\u2019s push toward mil-spec antimony trisulfide production and a scaled-up Thompson Falls smelter. In the short term, the key catalysts still look operational: hitting the higher revenue guidance, proving the smelter expansion works as planned, and translating volume into consistent profitability after a period of losses. What changes with this news is execution risk: US$2,000,000 of upgrades add capital intensity and timing risk to an already ambitious build out, in a stock that has already moved very sharply.<\/p>\n<p> However, the bigger question is whether recent investments can justify such a steep sales multiple for long-term holders.<\/p>\n<p>United States Antimony&#8217;s shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 18%. <a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/stocks\/us\/materials\/nysemkt-uamy\/united-states-antimony\/valuation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-vars-link-type=\"integrated-pitch\" class=\"company-report-links\">Find out what it&#8217;s worth<\/a>.Exploring Other Perspectives<a href=\"https:\/\/simplywall.st\/stocks\/us\/materials\/nysemkt-uamy\/united-states-antimony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-vars-link-type=\"infographic\" class=\"company-report-links\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/quote-price.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"UAMY 1-Year Stock Price Chart\" width=\"746\" height=\"476\" class=\"sc-8e1a88f-0 jKVhTH\"\/><\/a>UAMY 1-Year Stock Price Chart <\/p>\n<p>Twenty Simply Wall St Community valuations span roughly US$1 to US$41 per share, reflecting very different expectations.
