Werte in diesem Artikel
Sigma Lithium (TSX-V, NASDAQ: SGML) reported a fourth-quarter 2024 loss of $0.08 per share on Monday, falling short of analysts’ expectations of a $0.03 per share profit. Revenue also missed forecasts by $4.4 million.Despite the results, the lithium producer recorded $47.3 million in revenue for the quarter, a 127% increase from the previous quarter. While most lithium miners have struggled amid a sharp drop in prices, Sigma’s quarterly sales volumes rose 29% to 73,900 tonnes, well above guidance. The company attributed this to an optimized sales strategy that averaged $900 per tonne during the period.Production of what it calls “Quintuple Green Zero Lithium” — concentrate, produced with zero carbon-intensive energy, zero potable water, zero toxic chemicals and zero tailings dams — grew 28% to exceed 77,000 tonnes. Sigma Lithium reaffirmed its goal of doubling production capacity of carbon-neutral lithium concentrate to approximately 520,000 tonnes, starting in 2026. Shares fell nearly 9% in early trading in New York on Monday, dropping to $10.40 and bringing Sigma’s market capitalization to C$1.72 billion ($1.2 billion).
