0217 GMT - Operationally, Liontown Resources is on track, according to UBS analysts. But the lithium miner is "still burning cash and equity has run ahead," the analysts say in a client note. UBS reiterates its sell rating and an A$0.80 target on the stock. With the miner's open pit scheduled to run out by the end of December, "the investment thesis now centers around the underground ramp up," say the analysts. They note that lithium prices are improving, but say there remains uncertainty over the extent of supply disruptions in China, which have been fueling price gains. UBS does "agree with LTR's view of the world that BESS demand represents a key upside demand risk," they add, referring to battery energy storage systems. The stock is down 1.4% at A$1.04.
