Neutral
maintain
$65 -> $76
2025-07-15
Reason
Mizuho analyst John Roberts raised the firm's price target on Albemarle to $76 from $65 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm updated price targets in chemicals and packaging ahead of the Q2 reports. It says the new targets reflect the recent market multiple recovery. Mizuho's top picks are all specialty and defensive names: Corteva (CTVA), Crown (CCK) and Linde (LIN). A pause in tariffs likely pulled forward some demand, which could create a year-end slowdown, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
UBS
Neutral -> Sell
downgrade
$64 -> $57
2025-07-11
Reason
UBS downgraded Albemarle to Sell from Neutral with a price target of $57, down from $64. The firm believes lithium markets will remain oversupplied through 2026. While Albemarle realized pricing moved up modestly year-over-year, UBS's 2026 lithium price forecast is 6%-15% below consensus, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes 2026 consensus EBITDA expectations for Albemarle are 14% too high.
Piper Sandler

2025-05-14
Reason
Piper Sandler analyst Charles Neivert lowered the firm's price target on Albemarle to $68 from $85 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares.

downgrade
$92 -> $74
2025-05-13
Reason
Berenberg analyst Andres Castanos-Mollor lowered the firm's price target on Albemarle to $74 from $92 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The company reported strong Q1 results on April 27 but the print has not improved short-term expectations nor had a lasting impact on the share price, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes e Albemarle shares will remain an underperformer until lithium prices recover.

2025-04-15
Reason
Citi analyst Patrick Cunningham lowered the firm's price target on Albemarle to $64 from $85 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm reduced lithium estimates and target multiples ahead of Q1 earnings. Citi sees tariffs disputes as a potential incremental headwind to global auto sales and says it is likely to keep prices depressed in the near term. Energy storage systems battery demand is also at risk with 20% of Chinese output exported to the U.S., the analyst tells investors in a research note.
