IGO Rally Continues as Strong Cash Reserves Contrast With Greenbushes and Lithium Market Challenges IGO shares have climbed 102% over twelve months, with investors reacting to battery metals exposure and recent financial updates.
Q3 FY2026 EBITDA is reported at 297% higher on a quarterly basis, while the company holds a net cash position of about A$327 million.
Operations at the Greenbushes lithium mine continue to face systemic issues, and a review of strategic options is underway against a backdrop of lithium market oversupply.
For you as an investor, the mix of recent EBITDA performance and a solid net cash position highlights that IGO currently has financial flexibility, even as it deals with operational and market challenges. The issues at Greenbushes and ongoing lithium oversupply are key areas to watch because they can influence earnings quality, cost performance, and decisions that come out of the strategic review.
The 102% share price move over the past year indicates that expectations around battery metals exposure and corporate decisions are already playing a role in how the market views IGO. Your focus now is likely on how management addresses the Greenbushes problems, what options are considered in the strategic review, and how the company positions itself if lithium market conditions remain pressured.

New Risk • Feb 20
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Cash payout ratio: 99% Dividend yield: 8.0% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Albemarle Reportedly May Look to Offload 49% Stake in Greenbushes Lithium Mine to IGO Speculation is mounting that US-based Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB) may be considering selling down its 49% stake in the Greenbushes lithium mine to its Australian-listed partner IGO Limited (ASX:IGO), after the world's largest lithium producer this month slashed jobs and shut part of a processing facility in Western Australia. Greenbushes in WA is a global standout, and there is scepticism about the market chatter, although IGO wants to buy more of the asset should it be available, say sources. IGO did not comment. One reason a sale may be on the table is that Greenbushes does not qualify for the Inflation Reduction Act benefits in the US because of its partial Chinese ownership of 25.1%. To quality, Chinese ownership would need to be 24.9% or less, although the US government may show some leniency. IGO and China's Tianqi both own 51% in a joint venture arrangement. US-based lithium specialist Albemarle owns the remainder. The Australian reported last month that Albemarle, Tianqi and IGO would be taking the brakes off the giant Greenbushes mine despite low lithium prices, with the mine set to lift production over the next year as IGO intensifies its hunt for growth opportunities.

South32 Limited Commences Proceedings Against IGO Ltd in the Supreme Court of Western Australia Regis Resources Ltd. (Regis) notes IGO's announcement (IGO Announcement) advising that South32 Limited (South32) has commenced proceedings against IGO Ltd. (IGO) in the Supreme Court of Western Australia (Supreme Court Proceedings). In substance, South32 is seeking a court declaration in relation to the interpretation of the Agreement for the Sale of Assets and Mining Tenements dated 1 August 1997 (as subsequently amended, assigned or novated) (the Royalty Agreement). Regis understands that South32 alleges that properly interpreted, it is owed royalty payments under the Royalty Agreement at the rate of 1.5% of gross revenue from 100% of production from the Tropicana Gold Project, and is also seeking interest and costs. IGO, being the current counterparty to the Royalty Agreement, has announced that it disputes the allegations and intends to strongly defend the claim. Regis is not a party to the Royalty Agreement or the Supreme Court Proceedings. However, Regis is interested in the outcome of the Supreme Court Proceedings because there is overlap in the area over which South32 is claiming a royalty is payable, and the Tropicana Gold Project. Under the Asset Sale Agreement for the 30% interest in the Tropicana Gold Project between Regis and IGO, Regis assumed liability for the royalty to the extent it may apply to any of the Tropicana Gold Project after its acquisition (Transferred Royalty). Also, under the Asset Sale Agreement Regis agreed to indemnify IGO for liability arising in relation to the Transferred Royalty on the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement. Regis' view at the time of the acquisition was, and remains, that no amount is due under the Royalty Agreement in respect of current operations at the Tropicana Gold Project, and Regis intends to take appropriate action to protect its position.
