American Battery Technology remains a Buy, though with reduced conviction, as regulatory risks now outweigh valuation-driven margin of safety. Q4 FY26 results validate ABAT's operating thesis: $8.2M revenue (+5.1% QoQ), $1.3M gross profit (86% QoQ), and 15.9% gross margin exceed bullish KPIs. Federal black mass export ban introduces near-term risk, but ABAT is structurally positioned to benefit from U.S. industrial policy and $201M in grants.
American Battery Technology (ABAT) shares are ripping higher on Jun. 8 after the company won its formal appeal with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to fully reinstate its previously canceled $115 million grant. This five-year federal grant is a direct lifeline for ABAT's ambitious Tonopah Flats Lithium Project in Nevada.
American Battery Technology (ABAT) achieved its first positive gross margin, signaling operational progress and a milestone since its Reno recycling plant began operations. ABAT's valuation appears attractive, trading below the estimated $617M–$957M EV range, with a Buy rating supported by milestones and options market positioning. Significant near-term revenue is driven by the Moss Landing contract, but sustainability beyond this event remains a key risk unless new contracts are secured.
