American Battery Technology

Recycles batteries and extracts battery metals

Overview

American Battery Technology focuses on securing battery material supplies through three main activities: recycling used lithium-ion batteries, extracting metals from battery materials, and developing primary mineral resources. Its products and services enable the batteries that power electric vehicles, grid storage, and consumer electronics while promoting environmental and ethical sourcing. The company recovers valuable metals from spent batteries, processes them for reuse, and pursues new mineral resources to feed the battery supply chain. Unlike firms that rely solely on mining or recycling, ABAT combines advanced recycling, metal extraction technologies, and new mine development to create a more integrated, responsible supply of battery materials. The overarching goal is to provide a stable, ethical, and environmentally sound source of critical battery materials to support electric mobility and energy storage at scale.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • ABAT posted $7.8 million revenue on May 11, 2026, up 64% sequentially.
  • May 13, 2026 confirmation of a Southeast second site promises much larger recycling capacity.
  • Fast-41 designation and DOE support accelerate Tonopah Flats, improving financing and construction timelines.

What critics are saying

  • ABAT has diluted shareholders heavily; weighted shares jumped from 76.6 million to 131.9 million.
  • Tonopah Flats still needs permitting, construction, and ramp execution before 5,000-ton capacity arrives.
  • A Nevada recycle-plant outage or feedstock shortage would crush revenue and force another equity raise.

What makes American Battery Technology unique

  • ABAT runs one of America’s few commercial lithium-ion recycling plants, operational since October 2023.
  • June 2026 DOE reinstated ABAT’s $115 million Tonopah Flats grant, validating its Nevada refinery.
  • ABAT achieved first positive gross margin on May 11, 2026, proving near-term operating leverage.

American Battery hits positive gross margin as Q3 revenue climbs 64% to $7.8M

American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ:ABAT) reported record fiscal Q3 revenue of $7.8 million on 11 May 2026, marking a 64% increase quarter over quarter. The company achieved its first positive gross margin whilst cost of goods sold rose only 11% over the same period. The revenue growth came from ramped operations at its Nevada critical mineral recycling facility. CEO Ryan Melsert said the positive gross margin milestone supports self-sustaining operations and will fund expansion of the recycling facility, development of a second facility, and construction of a lithium mine and refinery. On 28 April 2026, Maxim initiated coverage of American Battery with a Buy rating and $6 price target. The company develops battery materials technologies and explores for battery metals in the United States.

ABAT hits $5.1M Q2 revenue, up 1,300% YoY, as recycling drives growth

American Battery Technology Company reported $4.8 million in revenue for Q2 2026, marking a year-over-year increase of over 1,300%. Combined with interest income, the total reached $5.1 million, exceeding cash cost of goods sold of $4.9 million for the first time. Revenue growth was driven by increased processing volumes at the company's Nevada recycling facility, which became operational in early 2025. The firm is developing a second recycling facility in the Southeast US with five times the capacity of its current site. The company's Tonopah Flats Lithium Project received Fast-41 designation to accelerate federal permitting. A pre-feasibility study published in October 2025 outlines a 45-year mine life with projected annual production of 30,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide monohydrate.
