Lithium and Cannabis Sector Comments
Sean Brodrick joins us to look outside of the US markets and gold to lithium and cannabis sectors. We discuss the types of stocks Sean likes in each sector and the news he is watching as future catalysts.
Yep, a nice day in the Lithium stocks.
Also from today are some of the Junior producers moving like Galaxy Resources (who is merging with Orocobre to form the 4th largest Lithium company, and this will leapfrog Livent for that position) up 8.61% and Pilbara Minerals up 10.95%.
It was nice to get Sean on the show to discuss the Lithium plays as it is a refreshing change of pace, focused on growth, rather than just rehashing the doom and gloom in the PM space.
Buy Everything! JPMorgan Bullish On Lithium Miners
Anthony Macdonald and Yolanda Redrup – Aug 10, 2021
“JPMorgan’s metals and mining team have re-thought supply and demand for lithium and come to one conclusion: buy all the lithium miners.”
The analysts put “overweight” ratings on all five ASX-listed lithium names under their coverage including IGO Ltd, Orocobre and its merger partner Galaxy Resources, Mineral Resources and Pilbara Minerals.
Electric vehicle penetration could hit 45 per cent in 2030, JPMorgan said. Bloomberg
“The lithium commodity complex is one of the few remaining in our coverage where there is meaningful upside likely over the medium term, given the strong demand backdrop,” the analysts told clients.
“JPMorgan reckons there will be 19 per cent a year increase in demand for lithium over the coming 10 years, on a compound annual growth rate basis, based on demand for electric vehicles and batteries.”
“That means supply will struggle to keep up, and the analysts said they would see a deficit beyond 2030.”
“This means unknown, and lower economic returning projects will be required to fill the supply-demand gap,” the analysts said.
Would be nice to get some lithium plays on the show
