Aqua Metals (NASDAQ:AQMS) stock is taking a beating on Tuesday alongside the release of the metals recycling company’s earnings report for the second quarter of 2024.

The bad news for AQMS stock comes from Aqua Metals’s lack of revenue during the quarter. That’s not what Wall Street was expecting, with a Q2 revenue estimate of $27,500.

Additionally, its adjusted earnings per share came in at -5 cents. That matches what analysts were expecting from Aqua Metals and is slightly better than the -6 cents per share from the same period of the year prior.

AQMS Stock: Sierra ARC Update

Aqua Metals provided investors with the following update on its Sierra ARC plans in its latest earnings report:

“To complete the Sierra ARC, the Company will need additional financing. In May 2024, Aqua Metals announced the signing of a non-binding term sheet with one of the world’s largest privately held companies for a secured credit facility of up to $33 million. However, the Company was recently advised by the lender that it was suspending further activity with regard to the secured credit facility due to continued high interest rates and recent declines in the market price for lithium-ion minerals, including an over 25% drop in lithium carbonate pricing, since signing the term sheet.”

AQMS stock is down 27% as of Tuesday morning.
