In other recent news, Piedmont Lithium has seen a series of significant developments. BMO Capital Markets revised its outlook on the company, raising the stock's price target from $9.00 to $14.00, while maintaining a Market Perform rating. This adjustment followed the announcement of a merger with Sayona Mining, a move that BMO views favorably as it simplifies the ownership and offtake structure of North American Lithium (NAL) and forms a larger company with growth prospects.

Piedmont Lithium also reported mixed third-quarter results, with earnings per share (EPS) of $(0.42), exceeding both BMO Capital Markets' estimate and the FactSet consensus. Despite a revenue drop from $47.1 million to $27.7 million due to lower lithium prices, the company managed to increase its shipped volume and reduce operating costs.

In addition, Piedmont Lithium completed a private placement offering, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$27 million. This additional capital could potentially be used to expand its operations and further invest in its mining capacities. The company also reduced its workforce by 32% in October and revised its full-year 2024 shipment forecast downward to a range of 102-116kt. These are among the recent developments for Piedmont Lithium.
