Certain stocks are such poor bets that they are likely to lose ground even in bull markets.

Shares of Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ:CRML) are trading sharply higher Tuesday afternoon. Here's what's driving the action.

Critical Metals is surging nearly 20% while its rare earth peers sit flat or slide lower, and no company announcement explains the gap. One unverified catalyst keeps surfacing in trader circles, and it has nothing to do with the ground under Greenland.

Critical Metals stock jumped 22.6% on Friday after the CEO said its Tanbreez rare-earth project in Greenland is still on track to produce within three years.

Shares of Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ:CRML) are trading higher Friday after disclosing amended terms for its pending acquisition of European Lithium Ltd. in a Form 6-K filing with the SEC.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) (“Critical Metals Corp” or the “Company”), a leading critical minerals exploration and mining company, today provided an update on its proposed acquisition of European Lithium Limited (ASX: EUR, FRA: PF8, OTC: EULIF) (“European Lithium”). The Company and European Lithium have entered into a second deed to amend the Scheme Implementation Deed dated May 19, 2026 (as first amended and restated on July 3, 2026).

The critical-minerals theme has a compelling strategic foundation, but strategic importance doesn't automatically translate into attractive stock returns.
