Evolution Metals & Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: EMAT), a U.S.-based critical materials and advanced manufacturing company, has provided initial revenue guidance for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, signaling a major scale-up of its rare earth magnet production capabilities. The company expects revenue of $5 million to $8 million in fiscal 2026, followed by a substantial jump to $400 million to $460 million in fiscal 2027. This guidance reflects the anticipated transition from its current production base to the first full year benefiting from its expansion in Pohang, Republic of Korea.
The expansion is anchored by the delivery and installation of thirteen additional ULVAC sintered magnet production machines, scheduled for November 2026. These machines are expected to boost annual rare earth magnet production capacity from approximately 1,000 metric tons to approximately 10,000 metric tons, including approximately 6,000 metric tons of high-performance sintered magnets. To support this growth, EM&T plans to increase electrical infrastructure serving the Pohang operations from 130 MW to approximately 750 MW, acquire approximately 1.3 million square feet of adjacent land, and has received a conditionally approved approximately $20.7 million grant from Pohang City and Gyeongbuk Province.
EM&T has also secured non-China NdPr metal sourced from SRE Vietnam and announced Tier-1 OEM quality certifications across six grades of high-performance sintered NdFeB magnets. The company said its fiscal 2027 guidance reflects anticipated utilization during the production ramp rather than the revenue potential of the planned capacity at full utilization.

This development matters because it addresses a critical vulnerability in the global supply chain for rare earth permanent magnets, which are essential components in electric vehicles, wind turbines, electronics, and defense systems. Currently, China dominates rare earth magnet production, and Western nations have been seeking to diversify sources. EM&T operates what it believes is the only vertically integrated critical materials supply chain spanning end-of-life electronics and batteries, high-grade concentrates, and the manufacture of finished rare earth magnets and battery materials. By expanding its Pohang facility and securing non-China NdPr metal, the company is positioning itself as a key alternative supplier for Tier-1 OEMs and other manufacturers seeking to reduce reliance on Chinese sources.
The revenue guidance, while showing a steep ramp, underscores the capital-intensive nature of scaling advanced manufacturing. The increase in electrical infrastructure and land acquisition indicates long-term commitment to the region. The conditional grant from Korean authorities highlights local government support for the project, which could bring economic benefits to the Pohang area. For investors, the guidance provides a roadmap for expected growth, though the company cautions that fiscal 2027 figures reflect ramp-up utilization, not full capacity. As EM&T continues to execute on its expansion, its progress will be closely watched by industry stakeholders and policymakers focused on critical materials security.
