Frequently asked questions
What is Lithium Americas Corp's revenue?
Lithium Americas Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $3.15M. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How much free cash flow does LAC generate?
LAC produced $-840.73M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is LAC's balance sheet healthy?
LAC holds $568.23M in cash and equivalents against $511.00M in long-term debt, on $1.06B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
