Tate Sullivan has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to American Battery Technology’s recent performance and balance sheet strength. The company’s preliminary fourth-quarter results showed revenue and gross profit well ahead of expectations, driven by higher-than-modeled recycling volumes and improved cost efficiency, which led to a narrower EBITDA loss and reduced cash burn.
At the same time, Sullivan acknowledges regulatory risk from new U.S. rules restricting exports of black mass, which currently accounts for most of ABAT’s revenue and is largely sold to non-U.S. customers, and he lowers near-term estimates accordingly. Despite this headwind and the need for additional capital in fiscal 2027, he highlights ABAT’s debt-free position, sizable cash balance, and favorable long-term cash flow profile, supporting a reduced but still upside-oriented $5 price target and a maintained Buy recommendation.
In another report released yesterday, Alliance Global Partners also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $7.00 price target.
