Demand for lithium is robust, fueled by EV and BESS growth, while supply response lags, supporting sustainable high prices well above SGML’s cash costs.

Summary Sigma Lithium Corporation reported earnings below expectations, with a loss of 9 cents per share and revenues of $45 million. It showed operational improvements and better pricing power.
