Some Analysts Just Cut Their Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ:SGML) Estimates
One thing we could say about the analysts on Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ:SGML) - they aren't optimistic, having just made a major negative revision to their near-term (statutory) forecasts for the organization. This report focused on revenue estimates, and it looks as though the consensus view of the business has become substantially more conservative. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Following the downgrade, the most recent consensus for Sigma Lithium from its four analysts is for revenues of CA$244m in 2025 which, if met, would be a decent 11% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Before the latest update, the analysts were foreseeing CA$266m of revenue in 2025. It looks like the analysts have become a bit less bullish on Sigma Lithium, given the slight decrease in revenue estimates after the latest consensus updates. View our latest analysis for Sigma Lithium Taking a look at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can understand these forecasts is to see how they compare to both past performance and industry growth estimates.

By way of comparison, the other companies in this industry with analyst coverage are forecast to grow their revenue at 4.6% annually. Even after the forecast slowdown in growth, it seems obvious that Sigma Lithium is also expected to grow faster than the wider industry. The clear low-light was that analysts slashing their revenue forecasts for Sigma Lithium this year. The analysts also expect revenues to grow faster than the wider market.

Is Sigma Lithium Corporation (SGML) the Best Small Cap EV Stock to Buy?
We recently compiled a list of the 12 Small Cap EV Stocks to Buy Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ:SGML) stands against the other small-cap EV stocks. In 2024, electric vehicles (EVs) represented 8.1% of the 16 million vehicles sold in the United States, according to Cox Automotive. While this was a record share, it was still below the 10% that analysts had expected at the beginning of the year. Despite this, some believe that the EV market may be picking up pace. READ ALSO: 11 Stocks That Will Bounce Back According To Analysts and 11 Best Stocks Under $15 to Buy According to Hedge Funds. Despite the fact that overall EV adoption has been slower than expected, brands like Cadillac are expanding their electric lineup. By the end of 2025, Cadillac plans to offer five EVs. These include the Escalade IQ, Optiq crossover, Lyriq, the upcoming three-row Vistiq, and the luxury Celestiq. Cadillac expects roughly one in three vehicles it sells in the US this year will be all-electric. Brad Franz, Cadillac's director of marketing, told CNBC that the company is launching EVs to grow its business and attract new customers to the brand instead of just shifting sales from gas-powered cars. According to Franz, the EV portfolio will offer customers more choices. In 2024, the company sold about 29,000 EVs. For 2025, Cadillac aims for EVs to make up between 30% to 35% of its sales in the US. However, Cadillac has abandoned its earlier plan to sell only EVs by 2030. Instead, the company said that customer demand will determine the elimination of gas-powered vehicles. This approach reflects a broader trend. A number of automakers have turned their back on plans to exclusively sell EVs in the near future as customer adoption has not been as fast as expected. To compile our list of the 12 small-cap EV stocks to buy now, we reviewed our own rankings and consulted various online resources to compile a list of the best small-cap EV stocks. Please note that we defined small-cap stocks as those with a market capitalization between $500 million and $10 billion. From an initial pool of more than 20 small-cap EV stocks that met our criteria, we focused on the top 12 stocks most favored by institutional investors. Data for the hedge fund sentiment surrounding each stock was taken from Insider Monkey's Q4 2024 database of more than 1,000 elite hedge funds. The 12 small-cap EV stocks to buy now were then ranked in ascending order based on the number of hedge funds holding stakes in them as of Q4 2024. Why do we care about what hedge funds do? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).
