Shares of Sigma Lithium Corporation (SGML.O) reached a 20-day high today, buoyed by impressive third-quarter financial results. The company reported revenue of $28.5 million, marking a significant 69% increase quarter-over-quarter and a 36% rise year-over-year, while also narrowing its EPS loss from 23 cents to 10 cents.
This upward momentum is further supported by Sigma's plans to restart mining operations by the end of November 2025, following successful upgrades to its Greentech plant. The anticipated ramp-up in production aims for 300,000 tons in fiscal 2026 and 550,000 tons in fiscal 2027, positioning the company favorably in the lithium market.
Additionally, Sigma generated $24 million from asset sales in the third quarter, with expectations of further revenue from high-purity lithium material sales. These developments reflect a robust outlook for the company, contributing to the stock's recent performance.
Wall Street analysts forecast SGML stock price to fall over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for SGML is 11.50 USD with a low forecast of 10.00 USD and a high forecast of 13.00 USD.

As previously reported last night, Canaccord downgraded Sigma Lithium to Hold from Buy with a price target of C$20.50, up from C$14, as part of a Q4 preview for the Canadian critical minerals group. Updates to the firm's 2026 and 2027 price deck results in an average target price increase of 30%, but the firm downgraded Sigma as it awaits the resumption of mining on site and a resolution regarding the company's ability to use its waste piles, the analyst told investors.

Reason
As previously reported, BofA downgraded Sigma Lithium to Underperform from Neutral with a price target of $13, up from $11, citing unresolved operational and liquidity issues. While shares have rallied 158% since November 14 on improving lithium fundamentals, the firm sees more potential downside than upside as shares are now baking in considerable volumes from successful mining despite minimal progress in addressing outstanding issues and management having yet to provide clarity on the resumption of mining or receipt of cash from prepayments, the analyst tells investors.
