The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Oct. 7, edition that Scotia Capital analyst Ben Isaacson has lowered his recommendation for Lithium Americas to "sector underperform" from "sector perform." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Mr. Isaacson boosted his share target to $5 from $2.75 (all figures U.S.). Analysts on average target the shares at $5.83. Mr. Isaacson believes it is time to "take profits." Mr. Isaacson says in a note: "While it may very well continue, we can no longer support the valuation, even at a 'hold.' Simply put, we failed to appreciate how a heated bull market would interpret Trump's magic touch, on a thematic commodity starving for attention (think recent CATL noise). Of course, this is despite the magic touch being dilutive to shareholders. Perhaps, investors believe the DOE will back-stop delays/cost overruns (i.e., Lithium Americas is now too important to fail). Either way, and to acknowledge our lesson learned, we have raised our price target to $5."
