    Sigma Lithium falls 11.3% to extend monthly decline to 26.9% on battery metal headwinds

    Question

    Sigma Lithium falls 11.3% to extend monthly decline to 26.9% on battery metal headwinds

    Direct answer

    Sigma Lithium fell 11.33% on October 1, underperforming broader equity indices and bringing its monthly loss to 26.85%. While analyst models forecast 180% year-over-year EPS expansion and a 95.4% revenue increase driven by volume ramp-ups, spot pricing across spodumene concentrate and lithium hydroxide continues to weigh on investor sentiment. The sharp selloff illustrates heightened risk aversion toward single-commodity upstream producers amid EV supply-chain adjustments.
