Analysis · LGO · Energy & Transportation

This positive performance, coupled with the successful raise of $19.7 million through its At-The-Market (ATM) program, provides crucial liquidity for a company that recently received a 'going concern' warning from its auditors. The reduction of US tariffs on Brazilian products is also a positive development expected to boost Q2 revenues, while the initiative to produce additional by-products could enhance long-term value.
