American Battery Technology Company (ABAT) reported unaudited preliminary results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, highlighted by record quarterly revenue of $8.2 million and an 86% quarter-over-quarter increase in gross profit to $1.3 million, driven by higher throughput and operational efficiencies at its Nevada recycling facility. Cost of goods sold declined to $6.9 million from $7.1 million, improving margins.
The company also won an appeal with the U.S. Department of Energy, resulting in full reinstatement of a previously terminated $57 million grant supporting the planned $115 million first processing train at the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project.

Separately, a new federal Directive under the Defense Production Act requires U.S. producers to allocate 100% of black mass sales to U.S. persons from August 27, 2026, for about one year.
