Sociedad Quimica Y Minera SA ( (SQM) ) has issued an update.
On December 27, 2025, SQM announced it had completed the structural steps of its strategic partnership with Chile’s state-owned copper company Codelco for the development of mining, production, commercial, community and environmental initiatives in the Salar de Atacama, via the merger by absorption of Codelco’s Minera Tarar SpA into SQM’s subsidiary SQM Salar SpA, which was simultaneously renamed Nova Andino Litio SpA. While the transaction follows substantially the same terms agreed in the May 31, 2024 partnership agreement and consolidates SQM’s position in Chile’s key lithium-producing basin, the merger remains subject to a resolutory condition tied to a pending Supreme Court decision on an appeal challenging a regulator’s prior resolution, and SQM and Nova Andino Litio SpA are currently determining dividend distributions and accounting effects under the new share structure and rights that became effective on January 1, 2025, to be reflected in SQM’s 2025 consolidated financial statements.
The most recent analyst rating on (SQM) stock is a Buy with a $79.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sociedad Quimica Y Minera SA stock, see the SQM Stock Forecast page.
