  • Lithium Americas Shares Drop 15.4% After Wider Loss and $250 Million Equity Offering
    March 21, 2026, 2:53 PM EDT. Lithium Americas Corp. (TSX:LAC) reported a wider net loss of US$122.09 million and a basic loss per share of US$0.50 for full-year 2025. The company announced a US$250 million at-the-market equity offering to support its capital-intensive Thacker Pass lithium project. Despite rapid construction progress and a US$2.23 billion U.S. Department of Energy loan reducing funding risk, the stock fell 15.4% amid concerns over ongoing losses and funding dilution. The firm remains a pre-revenue, cash-burning operation dependent on external financing. Twelve fair value estimates for LAC shares vary widely, reflecting differing investor views on execution and dilution risks. Investors should monitor construction milestones and funding clarity in the near term.
