What's powering Sayona shares forward?

Following a rebound on the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) today, investors are bidding up the Sayona share price.

In contrast, the ASX 200 Index is up 0.84% to 7,172.3 points after strong gains were recorded on Wall Street overnight.

Although the last release from the company came in late April, Sayona shares were pounded last week.

Falling to a 6-week low of 22 cents, it appears investors believe the share price was trading at attractive levels.

It's worth noting that Sayona shares are significantly down their all-time high of 39 cents reached on 19 April.

Looking at its peers, Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE) is up 2.24% and Liontown Resources Limited (ASX: LTR) is 3.53% higher.

Furthermore, fan favourite Lake Resources N.L. (ASX: LKE) is treading 3.08% above yesterday's close.

A catalyst as to which Sayona shares are storming much higher could be because of the large discount from where it was trading a few weeks ago.
