See our latest analysis for Elevra Lithium.
Elevra Lithium’s latest expansion plan lands after a sharp 32.67% decline in the 30 day share price return and a 15.03% fall over 90 days, yet the year to date share price return of 11.36% and a very large 1 year total shareholder return of 209.47% suggest momentum has cooled recently after a strong run.

Most Popular Narrative: 40.5% Undervalued
At a last close of A$8.82 versus a narrative fair value of A$14.82, Elevra Lithium is framed as materially mispriced, with that gap hinging on future expansion and earnings power.
Advancement of the Moblan project with joint funding from Investment Quebec and the long project life potential provides a future source of high-grade, low-strip spodumene supply, which can support a larger production base and influence group-level revenue and earnings over time.
Curious what has to happen between now and 2029 for that valuation to hold up? The narrative leans on faster top line growth, sharply higher margins and a very different earnings profile by the end of the decade.
Result: Fair Value of A$14.82 (UNDERVALUED)
