What the Analysts think about SQM

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Sociedad Quimica y Minera stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Chile’s competition regulator and key authorities in the EU, Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia approved the Codelco-SQM joint venture to expand lithium production in the Atacama salt flats, clearing a major hurdle for long-term capacity growth. (Reuters)
Despite a steep profit decline, SQM’s second‐quarter revenue of $1.04 billion was broadly in line with analyst estimates, highlighting resilient sales volumes amid lithium price headwinds. (Reuters)
SQM’s low operational cost base and active efforts to further reduce expenses are expected to help the company withstand current weak lithium prices and position it for improved margins when the market recovers. (Reuters)
SQM’s first‐quarter net profit of $137.5 million fell well short of the $171.2 million analysts expected, as a global lithium oversupply and weaker EV demand drove prices to new lows, and the company forecast further price declines in the near term. (Reuters)
Second‐quarter net profit plunged 59 percent year‐on‐year to $88.4 million due to a 34 percent drop in lithium prices, prompting layoffs of 5 percent of SQM’s Chilean workforce and a downgrade of its outlook to negative by Moody’s. (Reuters)
The planned joint venture with state-run Codelco still awaits approvals from China’s competition regulator and Chile’s nuclear energy authority CCHEN, posing execution risks and potential delays to SQM’s production expansion timeline. (Reuters)
