5i Research Answer:
The EV/lithium sector remains hot and ETL's share price is breaking out to new highs. The company has $18M in cash, no revenues, and generates negative free cash flow. It recently provided an overview of its lithium assets in Saskatchewan, and it recently begun operations at Alberta's first direct lithium extraction field pilot plant. We do not see major red flags here other than its small size, sector and capital risk, but we would consider it to be highly speculative and it's hard for us to strongly endorse it at this time.
