Critical Metals is trading 5.30% up now at $7.75 after progress toward its proposed $835 million all-stock European Lithium merger and a September 15, 2026 court hearing.
- Completion is expected in early November if approvals are secured.
- Nasdaq futures are up 0.50% amid broader risk-on sentiment and firm critical-minerals interest.
- No new September 4, 2026 company announcement was identified; the latest clear catalyst is the merger filing and court-date update, linked to recent share gains.
