Traditional lithium businesses are at risk from rapidly evolving battery tech, tightening ESG requirements, security of supply and long-term margin expectations. Whilst a slew of startups are making big claims, all have uncertain horizons and many are touting early stage technologies. Vertically-integrated Lepidico exists substantially outside this complex landscape. Its tech-focused, ESG-led business model is pilot-proven, flexible, scalable and poised for its first lithium deliveries from a far less contested mineral supply whilst others licence its IP. From an investor’s point of view Lepidico is an elegant and low-risk solution for the complex battery materials market, a Swiss Army knife for every portfolio seeking alpha from the chemical.
