What are lithium stocks?

Lithium stocks are publicly traded companies involved in mining, processing or working with lithium, a critical material for manufacturing batteries used in laptops, cell phones and electric vehicles, or EVs.

Lithium stock ETFs

Picking individual lithium stocks can be fairly risky. But investing in a lithium stock-heavy exchange-traded fund, or ETF, can give your portfolio exposure to lithium with less risk. Lithium ETFs include a basket of stocks related to the lithium industry. One of these ETFs is the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (LIT). LIT invests in companies that span the lithium production cycle, such as mining, refining and battery production.

If you want complete control over which companies you’re investing in, individual stocks, while riskier, may be more attractive to you.
