Why Should You Invest In Lithium Stocks?
It’s the billion-dollar question of 2025: are lithium stocks a good investment? After a challenging 12 months for lithium ASX stocks caused by a shifting balance between supply and demand (particularly in China), falling share prices have in turn led to speculation around a potential rebound or longer-term recovery for one of the world’s most valuable mineral commodities.
Amid a crisis, there is always opportunity, and there can be no doubt that lithium remains a key player in the technological and renewable energy revolutions that continue to move at warp speed.
But first, let’s go back a step. Lithium is a soft alkali metal that is an essential component of the rechargeable batteries in mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras and electric vehicles. It is also used in some non-rechargeable batteries for things like heart pacemakers and toys, while it combines with other metals to form alloys and compounds for use in the transport and pharmaceutical industries, and many others. Australia, alongside China, Chile and Argentina, is a leading supplier of lithium to the world.
Lithium and lithium-ion batteries have been in common use since the 1990s but their demand exploded with the rise of the renewable energy sector and the rapidly expanding technology sector. In recent years this has surged again with the proliferation of electric vehicles and energy storage solutions that rely on lithium and lithium-ion batteries.
But back to the share market, and the upshot to all of this is simple: lithium has risen to become one of the most important and high-potential stocks on the ASX.

Best Lithium Stocks To Buy
While it has been a tumultuous time for lithium stocks in Australia, the flipside to a declining share price means it could well be a shrewd time to invest in lithium for strong potential returns. When considering what is the best lithium stock to buy in Australia, consider factors like project timelines, resource quality, management expertise, and market sentiment before making any investment decisions. Remember, Australian lithium stocks can be volatile, so proceed with caution and diversification. At the end of 2023, Sharewise was monitoring these five ASX lithium stocks - Pilbara Minerals (ASX: PLS), Liontown Resources (LTR), Core Lithium (CXO), Sayona Mining (SYA) and Vulcan Energy (VUL) - while with the benefit of recent market analysis we have zeroed in on Mineral Resources Ltd (ASX:MIN) and Arcadium Limited PLC (ASX: LTM).
Mineral Resources is made up of four segments (of which lithium is one) and boasts a market capitalisation of more than $12 billion. Its share price fell by around a third in 2023 but has regained strongly in the first half of 2024, with more potential to continue its upward trajectory as the lithium price recovers.
Arcadium meanwhile is one of the largest lithium miners in the world and its diversity of operations has some investment experts predicting a near 50 per cent bounce back in its share price across the coming 12 months.

We changed broker during the year as we were not getting great results. So glad we joined up with Harry at Sharewise. He has taken the time to genuinely get to know us and discuss our investing strategy. He is always quick to answer a text or phone call. And so far I can say that our portfolio is looking far healthier than it was before the switch.
