Atlas Critical Minerals Stock Faces a New Test as Defense-Metals Money Rushes Into Nasdaq
Atlas Critical Minerals Corp’s U.S.-listed shares head into Friday’s regular Nasdaq session near their 52-week low, even as investors keep chasing small mining names tied to the defense supply-chain trade. ATCX closed Thursday at $4.41, up 0.9%, with a 52-week range of $4.28 to $47.16, market data showed. The timing matters. Nasdaq’s regular session had not opened yet, with trading scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET; May 29 is not on Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday closure list, after the Memorial Day market break on May 25.
