Overview IMO: My opinion is that the stock 'seems' way undervalued, however isn't overly undervalued. They are still at a relatively early stage in the life of a world-class lithium find and the deposit is in DRC. Time to development and deposit location are just two reasons amongst a multitude of other risk factors within AVZ. Investors price in risk and the level of risk within AVZ is the reason it has continued to fall over the past 6 months or so. It is however one of the sweethearts of the ASX, so when it starts to move, IT MOVES. There is potential for big % gains at current prices close to ~$0.10 over the remainder of the year. Any significant upgrades to the already mammoth lithium deposit could really attract some attention over the next period for AVZ. Let's wait and see. I believe right now, could be the calm before the pump up begins for AVZ in mid September. But Is there a bull waiting to run in the chart? Please see my analysis below.
