Albemarle is a fully integrated lithium producer. Its upstream resources include salt brine deposits in Chile and the US and two hard rock mines in Australia, both of which are joint ventures. The company operates lithium refining plants in Chile, the US, Australia, and China. Albemarle is a global leader in the production of bromine, used in flame retardants.

Model Target — Under Review
Our valuation methods do not currently agree closely enough for us to publish a single target for this company. We would rather say so than print a number we cannot stand behind. The TickerWhale Score still reflects quality, growth and momentum.
