The company's return on equity is notably negative at -52.01%, and it carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.68, indicating a higher level of financial risk.

Overall, while Sigma Lithium Corp. has shown a positive movement today, its long-term performance metrics suggest ongoing challenges within the market landscape.
