Icl ( (ICL) ) has issued an update.

On February 18, 2026, ICL reported that fourth-quarter 2025 sales rose 6% year on year to $1.7 billion, with adjusted EBITDA up 10% to $380 million, even as reported operating income swung to a loss due to $239 million in unusual charges tied to strategic changes and a water-fee provision. These charges reflected the discontinuation of LFP battery materials projects in St. Louis and Spain, R&D efficiency moves in Israel, and an impairment at its U.K. assets.

For full-year 2025, sales grew 5% to $7.15 billion and adjusted EBITDA edged up to $1.49 billion, while reported earnings declined on the back of the extraordinary items and net income fell to $226 million. The company advanced a portfolio shift by acquiring Bartek Ingredients, initiating a review and possible divestment of its Boulby operations in the U.K., and sharpening capital allocation toward its specialty crop nutrition and specialty food solutions growth engines, while guiding 2026 adjusted EBITDA to a range of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion and maintaining potash volumes of 4.5 to 4.7 million tons.

The most recent analyst rating on (ICL) stock is a Hold with a $6.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Icl stock, see the ICL Stock Forecast page.
