Pick a strategy above and run the backtest to see its simulated performance on LAC.

Rule-based technical strategies computed from this stock’s own price history only. Signals use only data available through the prior trading day (no look-ahead), and trading costs, slippage and taxes aren’t modeled. A backtested rule performing well in the past is not a guarantee of future results — this is an educational illustration, not investment advice.

LAC at a glance

Lithium Americas (LAC) is trading at $2.41, down 5.12% on the day. Its market value of $874.93M makes it the 3333rd largest of the 3753 companies we follow.

BeStock Grade

D
BeStock Grade

Composite of 3 factors below, ranked against the 3752 U.S. stocks BeStock covers.

Valuation

Cheaper than usual on its own 5-year P/E history scores higher.

F

B

5 analysts, consensus Buy.

How this is scored: each factor above is a 0–100 percentile rank against every other stock BeStock covers (or, for Wall Street, against the five-point Strong Buy–Sell scale). The overall grade is the plain average of whichever factors apply to this stock — no factor is weighted more than another. That average maps to a letter: A ≥ 85, B ≥ 70, C ≥ 50, D ≥ 30, otherwise F. Recomputed from the data on this page as prices and filings update — it describes where a stock ranks today, not a forecast, and not a BeStock recommendation to buy or sell.

LAC is not currently one of the 10 holdings in BeStock Momentum, our rules-based momentum strategy.

Since 2021-01-04, the strategy has returned 389% (231.1% for the equal-weight average of BeStock’s coverage over the same stretch). Holdings can change any trading day, not just on a fixed schedule. Backtested performance, updated weekly — not a guarantee of future results, and not a BeStock recommendation.

Price forecast

What Wall Street analysts and Morningstar's fair-value model expect for the stock

Analyst price target (avg)$5.64+134.0% vs. current price
Consensus ratingBuy5 analysts covering
Morningstar fair value$6.00Price is below fair value

Wall Street’s average 12-month target is $5.64, 134.0% above today’s price, with a consensus rating of Buy. Morningstar’s fair value model puts the stock at $6.00, so shares trade 59.8% below that estimate. On earnings multiple, it sits in the 87th percentile of its own five-year valuation range (pricier than usual).

Figures are Wall Street analyst consensus and Morningstar’s independent fair-value model, sourced as noted above.
