Sigma Lithium (SGML) has resumed mining operations with over 600 staff after resolving contractor and safety-related shutdowns, achieving production stability. The company's enterprise value has increased to $1.6 billion, with an EV/S of 5.1 against a sector median of 2.0.

Despite improved liquidity of $21 million, which extends the runway to 4.8 quarters, SGML faces constraints from working capital and CAPEX. The Phase 3 expansion planned for 2027 is expected to provide long-term growth potential. However, due to current valuation and execution risks, SGML's rating has been downgraded to 'Buy', necessitating careful position sizing to manage anticipated volatility.
