Isabella Simonato’s rating is based on a combination of factors including Sociedad Quimica Y Minera SA’s (SQM) recent financial performance and market conditions. The company’s second quarter results for 2025 were slightly weaker than expected, with revenues and adjusted EBITDA falling short of projections. This underperformance was largely due to lower than anticipated lithium prices and volumes, which have been impacted by recent market fluctuations.
Additionally, despite a recent rally in lithium prices, Simonato maintains a cautious outlook on SQM’s stock due to long-term risks associated with the company’s expansion plans and agreements with Codelco. The stock’s recent price increase appears to have limited further upside potential, and the valuation remains sensitive to long-term price assumptions. Given these considerations, Simonato has assigned a Sell rating, reflecting concerns over future financial performance and market dynamics.
According to TipRanks, Simonato is an analyst with an average return of -11.3% and a 37.78% success rate. Simonato covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as JBS, Adecoagro SA, and Ambev SA.
