The first positive gross margin at the Nevada recycling facility directly supports this thesis, but the widened net loss of US$33.84 million underlines that near term progress still depends on managing cash burn and securing funding for the second plant and Tonopah Flats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The confirmation of a larger second recycling facility in the Southeast U.S., supported by earlier US$144 million federal funding, is especially tied to this quarter\u2019s milestone. If the Nevada plant\u2019s early gross profit can be sustained, it provides an operational reference point for scaling capacity, which in turn is closely linked to the company\u2019s most important short term catalyst: improving the economics of its recycling operations at commercial scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Yet against this operational progress, the need to fund simultaneous expansion of two recycling plants&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/markets\/stocks\/articles\/bull-case-american-battery-technology-041606131.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bull Case For American Battery Technology (ABAT) Could Change Following First Positive Gross Margin&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":247202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/en\/simply_wall_st__316\/7a92075e7c274cfc915511d1e9d413e3","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-247201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247201"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247201"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247204,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247201\/revisions\/247204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
