Stardust Power (Nasdaq: SDST) reported preliminary 2025 results and significant progress on its Muskogee lithium refinery, including completing FEL-3 engineering, securing an air quality permit, and arranging feedstock. Phase I of the project aims for 25,000 tpy lithium carbonate production with an estimated CapEx of $500 million. Despite these advancements, the company ended 2025 with only $3.5 million in cash and a $15.7 million net loss, leading to “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue as a going concern, highlighting a critical need for further financing.
