Albemarle Corporation (ALB) has seen considerable traction recently, as indicated by multiple large-scale purchases by various investors including Global X Japan Co., Ltd., Bard Financial Services, Polianta Ltd. and Fiduciary Alliance LLC amongst others. The company's stock price has steadily increased by 25% and has outperformed overall market gains. However, their business performance is yet to catch up to this growth.
Several institutions, including Swedbank AB and UBS AM, have sold their stake in ALB, adding volatility to the stock's performance. The company's quarterly common stock dividend and the predicted rise in lithium prices are expected to impact its future value positively. Despite this, controversy around China restarting a significant lithium mine combined with supply fears resulted in an 11% plunge in ALB's stock.
Financial firms such as Deutsche Bank still express cautious optimism, evidenced by their raising of Albemarle's target. Amidst these fluctuations, Jim Cramer has labeled the company as 'too volatile' and Albemarle's lithium prospects have been considered both a potential strength and an investor's nightmare.
