5 Canadian Cobalt Stocks That Could Rebound Soon

The Canadian cobalt stocks on our list have had a weak month, but strong six-month returns

SmallCapPower | February 20, 2018: Cobalt prices have increased 120% Y/Y, driven by increased demand for electric car batteries. The average electric car contains 25 pounds of cobalt, as opposed to the 30 grams used in most electronic devices. However, the Canadian cobalt stocks we’ve identified today have declined an average of 24%, underperforming the TSX-V’s decrease of 6%. These companies stock prices have decreased over the past month, but strong six-month returns indicate that they could rebound as cobalt interest might return. Furthermore, all these companies operate in North America, and so are far less affected by geopolitical instability and the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s new mining code.
