The interest coverage ratio, which highlights a company's ability to cover its interest expenses with its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), for MP Materials Corp shows fluctuations over the period from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2020, the interest coverage ratio was negative at -6.88, indicating that the company's EBIT was not sufficient to cover its interest expenses, raising concerns about its financial health.

Nonetheless, there was a decline in the interest coverage ratio by December 31, 2023, dropping to 6.87, which may indicate a potential strain on the company's ability to cover its interest expenses adequately.

The situation exacerbated by December 31, 2024, as the interest coverage ratio fell into negative territory again, at -3.06, signifying a worrying sign that the company's EBIT may not be sufficient to meet its interest obligations, suggesting a potential source of financial risk.
