Elevra Lithium slips 4.54% despite June-quarter output of 54,479 tonnes
Elevra Lithium reported strong FY26 June-quarter spodumene output (54,479 dmt) but weaker sales (33,977 t), lifting inventory to ~40,863 t. More importantly, realised pricing averaged only US$919/t under legacy, lagged contracts tied to Oct 2025–Mar 2026 averages, well below current spot levels. The mismatch between production gains and cash-realisation drove a 4.5% stock decline, highlighting near-term margin and working-capital pressure.
