National Bank of Canada Lowers Lithium Americas' Price Target to C$7.25 from C$7.50

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 11:34 AM EDT

11:34 AM EDT, 05/15/2026 (MT Newswires) -- National Bank of Canada on Thursday reiterated its sector-perform rating on the shares of Lithium Americas (LAC) and lowered its price target to C$7.25 from C$7.50 following the company's first-quarter results.

The bank updated its model for Lithium Americas (LAC) following the release of the results to reflect the capital spent to date and an increase of $110 million to reflect potential inflationary pressures.

Lithium Americas (LAC) ended the first quarter with cash and restricted cash of US$1.21 billion, slightly below National Bank's estimate of US$1.25 billion, driven mostly by higher capex spend of US$299 million versus the bank's estimate of US$277 million.

The company reiterated 2026 capex guidance of US$1.3 billion to US$1.6 billion. Phase one of the Thacker Pass project in Nevada remains on track for mechanical completion in late 2027 and a production ramp-up in 2028.

Price: 6.90, Change: -0.14, Percent Change: -1.99

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
