Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Cost EfficiencyALB has made strong progress on its cost-saving initiatives, reaching 90% of its $300-400mn run rate target as of April.
Financial PerformanceALB posted 1Q EBITDA of $267mn, above consensus despite a sales miss, as cost savings expanded margins.
Lithium DemandALB's lithium demand model suggests a sooner inflection to undersupply, with a bullish demand outlook potentially supporting a lithium price recovery.
Bears Say
Energy Storage PricingALB reported Energy Storage pricing fell 34% Y/Y vs. our estimate of -25% Y/Y.
Market ExpectationsThe results have not improved short-term expectations nor had a lasting impact on the share price; in our view, the stock will remain an underperformer until lithium prices recover.
Valuation ConcernsThe price target is reduced from $68 to $58 with a tilt to the low end of the valuation range given the higher end requires lithium prices to increase significantly.

ALB Earnings Call
Q1 2025
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
Albemarle's earnings call reflected a mixed outlook. The company achieved strong operational milestones, including record lithium production and significant cost savings. However, these positive developments were offset by challenges such as declining net sales, impacts from tariffs, and lower expected margins in energy storage. Despite the difficulties, Albemarle maintains a positive long-term outlook for lithium demand.Read More>ALB Net sales Breakdown
