Hot stuff emerging from company meeting in Massachusetts (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

magma

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hot stuff' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meeting in massachusetts' is the wordplay.
'meeting' becomes 'agm' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'massachusetts' becomes 'ma'.
'agm' going inside 'ma' is 'MAGMA'.

'emerging from company' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for magma that I've seen before include "hot filling in crust" , "Semi-fluid material within the earth's crust" , "crust's content" , "Glassy volcanic rock" , "That's hot!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
