• Sigma Lithium stock is surging to new heights today. What’s driving SGML stock higher?

This generated total net sales of around $67 million in the fourth-quarter FY25 and first-quarter FY26. This is driven by sales of about 650,000 tonnes of high-purity lithium fines and around 5,000 tonnes of high-grade premium lithium oxide concentrate.

Q4 & FY Earnings Snapshot

EPS loss was 22 cents, missing the consensus of five cents. Also, sales of $16.903 million came below the street view of $45.678 million.

The company reported a net revenue decline of 64.3% year over year (Y/Y).

As of fourth quarter-end, cash and cash equivalents stood at $6.2 million.

Also, total debt stood at $141 million. This includes a loan of $100 million that the company expects to pay down in 2026 using the proceeds of offtake agreements and anticipated strong cashflow generation.

Notably, in 2025, the company trimmed trade finance debt by 60% and total debt by 35%.

The first involved a $96 million prepayment for 70,500 tonnes to be delivered in 2026. The second provides a $50 million prepayment for 40,000 tonnes per year over three years starting in 2026.

The company expects the first agreement to be fulfilled in 2026 with monthly disbursements of $8 million.
