ALB Stock Recent News

Major U.S. equities indexes finished Monday mixed following the weekend announcement of a trade agreement with the European Union.

Shares of lithium producer Albemarle fell on Monday. Investors probably were taking some profits.

I maintain my HOLD rating on Albemarle despite a large share price rally since my last rating.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. , July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Directors of Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB) announced today that it declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.405 per share.

Albemarle (ALB) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.

Albemarle is my top lithium sector pick, offering industry leadership, global scale, and a strong balance sheet at the bottom of the lithium price cycle. Lithium prices may have just bottomed after a 90% plunge since late 2022, with recent supply cuts and global EV buying trends setting up a potential multi-year rebound. Technical momentum/accumulation trends in many lithium miners, including Albemarle, have been excellent since June.

Albemarle (ALB) concluded the recent trading session at $77.07, signifying a +1.76% move from its prior day's close.
