Livent Corp. (LTHM) has a number of ambitions for the next decade, including expanding existing operations and launching new ones, as well as acquiring shares in lithium mining companies. The corporation is expected to fund a large portion of these activities by issuing shares, putting downward pressure on stock prices.
At the same time, Livent Corp. aspires to become one of the world’s largest lithium producers, with a significant market share. LTHM may become a highly powerful corporation and produce enormous wealth for stockholders since lithium plays such a huge part in the future economy.
The concern for Livent Corp. (LTHM), as well as other lithium providers, is the emergence of novel lithium-free batteries. Such batteries will almost certainly be developed sooner or later, but large manufacturing is unlikely to occur in the next decade. This gives Livent plenty of time to expand and profit from the surge in battery demand.
