The latest update is out from CleanTech Lithium PLC ( (GB:CTL) ).

CleanTech Lithium has secured an advance recovery of value-added tax in Chile, receiving approximately £1.01 million through its wholly owned subsidiary Atacama Salt Lakes SpA for input VAT incurred on the Laguna Verde project. The approval from Chile’s Ministry of Economy, tax authority and Treasury allows the company to reclaim VAT ahead of sales, with future export revenues from Laguna Verde to reimburse the state.

The VAT refund strengthens CleanTech Lithium’s near-term liquidity as it progresses the pre-feasibility study and advances its recently agreed long-term operating contract for Laguna Verde. Management framed the payment as evidence of Chilean government support for the project, potentially reinforcing the company’s position in the country’s emerging sustainable lithium supply chain and reducing funding pressure on ongoing development work.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CTL) stock is a Hold with a £9.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CleanTech Lithium PLC stock, see the GB:CTL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CTL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CTL is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance: the company is still pre-revenue with growing losses and ongoing negative operating and free cash flow, implying continued reliance on external funding despite only moderate leverage. This is partially offset by strong technical momentum, with the share price above all key moving averages and supportive MACD/RSI readings. Valuation remains constrained by the negative P/E and lack of dividend yield.
