About Pls Group Ltd

PLS Group (ASX:PLS), formerly Pilbara Minerals, has rebounded strongly with lithium prices. In September 2026, Argonaut said it built lithium exposure from zero at the start of FY26, using the stabilisation and rise in spodumene prices as a signal to buy quality names such as PLS. Pendal Group reported FY26 production of 880,000 tonnes, above guidance, with costs within range and substantially improved financial results, including a restored dividend backed by more than $1 billion of net cash. Perennial noted a 30% rise in August, while Infinity reported a 22% fall in June as lithium prices weakened. PLS Group operates in the Materials sector within the Metals and Mining industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 45 comments from 19 fund managers, including Argonaut, Pendal Group, Perennial and Infinity. Headquartered in West Perth, PLS owns and operates the Pilgangoora lithium project in Western Australia and the Colina project in Brazil.

FUND MANAGER

DATE

Argonaut Funds Management initiated lithium sector exposure, including a position in Pilbara Minerals, building this exposure from zero at the start of FY26. The manager used the stabilisation and subsequent recovery in spodumene prices as the signal to buy quality lithium names ahead of the broader sector recovery, favouring established, higher-quality producers such as Pilbara Minerals over more speculative names within the lithium space.
