This lithium share is starting the week strongly…

The Core Lithium Ltd (ASX: CXO) share price is back on form at last.

Why is the Core Lithium share price rising?

Investors have been buying the company's shares today despite there being no news out of it.

Though, it is worth noting that the Core Lithium share price isn't the only one in the lithium industry that is rising today.

  • Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE) shares are up 3%

Can Core Lithium shares keep rising?

While analysts at Macquarie currently only have a neutral rating on the company's shares, their price target of $1.80 is notably higher than where they trade today.

In fact, based on where Core Lithium's shares trade today, this price target implies potential upside of 23% for investors over the next 12 months. Not bad for a neutral rating!
