The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Nov. 20, edition that Canaccord Genuity analyst Kate Lachapelle has upgraded her recommendation for Lithium Americas to "buy" from "hold." The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that Ms. Lachapelle targets the shares at $6.50. Analysts on average target the shares at $7.83. Ms. Lachapelle says in a note: "Lithium Americas is progressing on schedule with its 62-per-cent-owned Thacker Pass lithium mine and processing plant in Nevada, targeting 40ktpa of battery-grade lithium carbonate in Phase 1. As of Q3 2025, $720-million of the $2.9-billion total capex has been spent, with detailed engineering over 80 per cent complete. Mechanical completion is expected by late 2027, followed by six to 12 months of ramp-up, with 2029 as the first full production year. Onsite workforce has grown to 700 people, targeting 1,000 by year-end. Long-lead equipment commitments total $430-million, with most deliveries expected through Q1 2026." The Globe reported on Oct. 7 that Scotia Capital analyst Ben Isaacson had lowered his recommendation for Lithium Americas to "sector underperform" from "sector perform." The shares were then going for $11.78.
