Albemarle mines and processes lithium — the battery raw material whose price collapsed after the boom.
The company owns assets in Chile and Australia, where lithium is extracted from brines and ore, and plants that convert it into battery-grade compounds. Costs at the best deposits are among the lowest in the world — that is the protection in the trough of the cycle.
The lithium price went from a multiple increase to an equally sharp fall: electric vehicle demand came in below expectations while capacity had been built to the old forecast. The industry is now cutting output and deferring projects. Risks: how long the trough lasts, the pace of the shift to electric vehicles and operating conditions in the producing countries. A dividend is paid.
