The share price of lithium miner Orocobre has fallen by just 13.7 per cent so far in 2019, while some of its peers have shed more than 50 per cent of their value. Orocobre also defied the general downtrend in the lithium sector by posting an underlying profit of $US24.8m ($36m) for 2018-19 and cashflow from operations of $US8.48m. Orocobre’s focus is on lithium carbonate, the price of which has not fallen as sharply as that of spodumene concentrate, which is produced by its major rivals.

Expectations of strong growth in demand for lithium-ion batteries has prompted a rally in the price of lithium, and in turn bolstered the share prices of lithium producers. However, there are some similarities between the lithium boom and the iron ore boom. Macquarie Group believes that the lithium boom will have run its course within about 18 months. It has "buy" recommendations on just two lithium producers, Orocobre and Neometals.
