Lithium Americas Corp (LAC) has demonstrated a notable performance trajectory, characterized by a significant run-up followed by a pullback and subsequent sideways consolidation. Recently, the stock has broken out, indicating a positive trend, with expectations to retest highs around $12. Analysis of the 5-year chart confirms that recent movements suggest a transformation in the stock trajectory. Despite the promising signals, investors are cautioned about stock-specific risks associated with individual holdings. For those less certain or newly exploring this sector, the recommendation is to invest in a broader thematic ETF like LIT, which aggregates various rare-earth metal stocks. Additionally, recent trends show a declining gross profit figure, alongside rising production costs, indicating potential challenges ahead unless accompanied by a proportional increase in revenue.

DON'T BUY
Lithium. The impact of the use in batteries is causing it to grow substantially. There could be supply issues in the short term. He'd go to the battery supply rather than a pure play. These high growth industries with high valuations are the most at risk in a market that is worried about short term interest rates and rising inflation.
BUY
LAC vs. BLDP Both in alternative energy space. He'd pick lithium as a material, and lithium producers as more timely. Market doesn't care about BLDP's technology adoption right now. Whether you own the LIT ETF basket, or some of the larger producers, the demand is going to be solid for quite some time.
BUY

TOP PICK

Very speculative. It's a long-term lithium play. We will still buy e-cars, even though today's data showed a one-month drop in sales. LAC is another way to green your portfolio, like NFI-T. E-cars will be normal in 20 years. (Analysts’ price target is $12.68)

COMMENT
We're making batteries as cheap as possible, and that means lithium. He expe expects growing demand for lithium in coming years. But given supply, the lithium price may fall or stay the same. Lithium is a commodity and he's cautious about commodities. The trend for e-cars may propel this stock and space. Be cautious.
DON'T BUY

He does not like this company. Lithium is a good play, but does not see where it will be short supply. Copper is a better play longer term.

TOP PICK

Part owner of a brine called Cauchari in Argentina. A joint venture they have done with SQM, probably the best operator of lithium brines globally. They recently completed a financing, both equity and debt, and offtake arrangements with a Chinese and Thai company. It was quite speculative, but no longer thinks it is. Enterprise Value is around $460 million, but could be well north of $1 billion in 2-3 years. It should be in operation by 2019. (Analysts’ price target is $1.70.)

HOLD

All of a sudden there is a whole slew of interest on lithium, but thinks some of the stocks have gotten ahead of themselves. If you already own this, he would continue to Hold. The company has a particularly good project in Argentina, where there is a lot of lithium out of salt beds. They have done a joint venture with SQM out of Chile, one of the biggest players in lithium, which bodes really well for this company.
