Intel stock extends gains after report of possible U.S. government stake
Investing.com - Goldman Sachs downgraded Liontown Resources Ltd (ASX:LTR) from Neutral to Sell on Thursday, while reducing its price target to AUD0.48 from AUD0.63.
The investment bank cited concerns about the company’s underground mining ramp-up timeline and associated costs, which are expected to be key focus areas during the upcoming site visit scheduled for late July 2025.
Goldman Sachs noted that cash outflows remain a significant challenge against Liontown’s debt position, with repayment of the Ford facility beginning this quarter. The firm expects that additional capital will be required, either through debt options or equity, based on its lithium market outlook.
Despite these concerns, the analysts acknowledged that Liontown’s offtake agreements linked to chemicals pricing support the company receiving a spodumene price premium compared to its peers.
Goldman Sachs justified the downgrade by pointing out that Liontown has been the best-performing Australian lithium producer stock year-to-date and since January 2023, suggesting the stock is now trading ahead of its fundamentals.
