Arcadium and Neuron tackle market challenges head-on

In the recent financial updates, Arcadium Lithium reported second-quarter revenue of $255 million, noting weak market sentiment and steady long-term demand for lithium, influenced by decreased demand for spodumene in China. The company is emphasizing efficient, high-quality operations, projecting a full-year capital expenditure of between $550 million and $700 million.

Meanwhile, Neuron Pharmaceuticals reported a royalty income of $13 million from Acadia Pharmaceuticals, with anticipated total royalties for 2024 ranging between $55 million and $61 million.
