Sociedad Quimica Y Minera SA ( (SQM) ) has provided an announcement.
On January 27, 2025, SQM announced that its merger by absorption of Codelco subsidiary Minera Tarar SpA into SQM’s subsidiary SQM Salar SpA (now Nova Andino Litio SpA), part of their broader partnership to develop the Salar de Atacama, has become fully effective after the Chilean Supreme Court rejected in full an appeal brought by Inversiones TLC SpA (linked to Tianqi) on January 26, 2026. By confirming the earlier ruling of the Santiago Court of Appeals and causing the condition subsequent to lapse, the Supreme Court’s decision removes the last legal uncertainty around the transaction and solidifies the long-term joint development framework between SQM and state-owned Codelco in Chile’s strategically important lithium-rich Salar de Atacama, clarifying the legal landscape for shareholders, partners and other stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (SQM) stock is a Hold with a $91.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sociedad Quimica Y Minera SA stock, see the SQM Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on SQM Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SQM is a Neutral.
The score is led by mixed financial performance—solid balance sheet but pressured profitability and notably weak free cash flow—while technicals show a strong trend but overbought momentum risk. Valuation is demanding due to a high P/E, partly offset by an elevated dividend yield. Earnings call commentary was a relative positive with record volumes and constructive pricing/demand guidance, though volatility and CapEx adjustments add risk.
