Arcadium LithiumALTM
About: Arcadium Lithium is a pure-play lithium producer that was formed by the Allkem-Livent merger in January 2024. The company agreed to a deal for Arcadium to be acquired by Rio Tinto in an all-cash transaction that should close in 2025. Arcadium should benefit from increased lithium demand via higher electric vehicle adoption, as lithium is a key component of EV batteries. The company's low-cost lithium carbonate production comes from two brine resources in Argentina. Arcadium also produces spodumene, a hard rock lithium upstream concentrate, from a mine in Australia and operates downstream lithium hydroxide conversion plants in the United States and China.
