American Battery Technology Co. (ABAT)

Over the past six months, ABAT's stock price has been impacted by several events. The termination of a DOE grant for a lithium hydroxide manufacturing facility caused a significant stock drop, but ABAT is appealing and plans to proceed with alternative funding. The Q1 FY2026 earnings release showed a jump in cash position, payoff of debt, and increased recycling revenue, leading to a stock gain. An EPA contract for battery recycling was awarded to ABAT. Insider selling occurred in December 2025 and early February 2026. The Q2 FY2026 earnings release reported a significant increase in revenue and operational progress, leading to a stock increase, although GAAP losses were still reported. ABAT's stock has been described as highly volatile.

The demand for American Battery Technology Co.'s products and services is influenced by the broader Materials sector, which historically exhibits seasonal strength from November 20 to May 5. A seasonal chart analysis over the past nine years indicates that a "Buy Date" of December 12 and a "Sell Date" of April 30 has resulted in a geometric average return of 32.87% above the S&P 500 Total Return Index benchmark. However, only nine years of data are available for ABAT, which may be insufficient for a fully reliable seasonal analysis.
