Lithium Americas stock jumps 30% on Friday: the hidden catalyst is surprising

Lithium Americas stock (NYSE: LAC) soared 30% on Friday, as the investor excitement continues over the US government’s announcement about taking a 5% stake in the company.

It’s a clear signal of just how important domestic lithium production has become, especially with the booming demand for electric vehicles and the push to secure global supply chains.

But, beyond the big headlines, the parabolic rally is also driven by many other, unexpected factors.

Lithium Americas stock: The hidden catalyst

While the government stake grabbed most of the headlines, market chatter and analyst notes hint at another possible driver behind the surge: an offtake deal with a major automaker or battery maker, beyond the partnership already announced with General Motors.

If true, it would be a big surprise since there’s been little public information so far, but it could have a major impact on Lithium Americas’ valuation and project timelines.

Here’s what Lithium Americas said in an official press release:

GM will provide additional support to the Project by amending its lithium offtake agreement with the JV (the “ Offtake Agreement”) to permit the JV to enter into additional third-party offtake agreements for certain remaining production volumes not forecasted to be purchased by GM.

An additional third-party offtake deal would basically guarantee buyers for the lithium coming out of Thacker Pass, giving the project a lot more predictable revenue and taking some of the risk off the table.

It would also show that big investors are starting to trust Lithium Americas’ ability to deliver and run its supply chain smoothly.

The company may release more information in the upcoming company press releases, SEC or SEDAR filings, or in analyst reports with insider info.

In the meantime, investors should keep an eye out for news about new supply deals, contract updates, or unusual moves in lithium futures and options, which is often where you can spot the story before it fully breaks.

Market reaction & what moved the tape

The big surge in Lithium Americas stock came after the US Energy Department confirmed it’s taking a stake in the company as part of a $2.26 billion restructured loan deal to back the Thacker Pass project.

Investors see this as a strong vote of confidence in Lithium Americas’ ability to boost US lithium supply, crucial for EV batteries and renewable energy storage.

Having government support also makes the project less risky, which definitely helped the stock rally.

Thacker Pass, which Lithium Americas runs with General Motors, is on track to become the biggest lithium source in the Western Hemisphere by 2028.

Once it’s up and running, it could produce enough lithium to power hundreds of thousands of EVs. With that kind of output and a strong partner like GM, it’s no wonder investors are excited and driving the stock higher.
