Lithium miners are expected to end the year positively, driven by rising demand from electric vehicles and U.S. government initiatives to enhance domestic production. Standard Lithium's shares surged 211% in 2025, supported by over $1 billion in financing for its Arkansas project. The U.S. government acquired stakes in Lithium Americas and the Thacker Pass joint venture, which is projected to be the largest lithium source in the Western Hemisphere. Other companies like Sigma Lithium and Albemarle also saw significant share price increases, with BMO Capital Markets predicting higher earnings in 2026.
