SQM reported strong operational performance with record lithium sales and robust growth in the Iodine and Specialty Plant Nutrition segments. However, the company faced challenges with declining lithium prices and political noise in Chile. Despite these hurdles, SQM remains confident in its market positioning and future growth plans.Company Guidance
During the SQM First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance on various metrics. They reported achieving the highest first-quarter lithium sales volumes in their history, with a 20% year-on-year increase, primarily driven by strong demand from the electric vehicle market in China and Europe. Despite stable lithium prices in Q1, a recent decline is expected to lower average realized prices in Q2. In Chile, capacity expansions aim to reach 240,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate and 100,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide. The Iodine business also performed strongly, with record prices driven by demand for X-ray contrast media applications.
