SpacBrain’s read on the price

No multiple can be computed

We hold no revenue figure in US dollars for Li-Cycle Corp., so there is nothing to divide the price by and no multiple can be struck. It is not recorded as pre-revenue either — this is a gap in our record, not a finding that the company has no sales. The deal values it at $975M regardless.

We have not extracted a revenue figure for this company from its filings yet. That is our gap, not a statement about the business.
