BMO Capital Markets on Wednesday resumed coverage of Lithium Americas (LAC.TO, LAC) with a market-perform rating on its shares and a US$3.50 price.
"Following a lengthy period of restriction predating the LAC/LAAC split, we resume coverage of LAC at Market Perform with a US$3.50 target price. With DOE/GM funding and clear support essentially lined up with Thacker Pass (Nevada clay-based lithium feedstock mine with co-located carbonate conversion) now organized into a 62%/38% LAC/GM JV equity ownership, Thacker can continue to progress to hopefully a key part of a future N.American EV supply chain. We are neutral on LAC, however, considering valuation and risk/reward (uncertainties around commodity prices, ultimate capital budget/timelines, processing/opex risks, etc.)," analyst Joel Jackson wrote.
