Albemarle Corporation vs the Materials sector and the S&P 500

Albemarle Corporation's latest reported figures next to the median of the other 24 S&P 500 Materials companies and of the other 502 S&P 500 companies; each median is taken over the companies with a comparable figure (counts in the footnote). A median is the middle value, not an average, so one very large company does not move it.

Albemarle Corporation: fiscal year ended December 2025, from its 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC. Medians computed October 20, 2026 from each company's latest annual filing (fiscal years ending between July 2025 and September 2026) and our price archive. Prices for every company, Albemarle Corporation included, are the last regular-session prices of October 19, 2026; the 1-year change compares that price with each company's last close on or before October 20, 2025. Net margin and price change are our calculations from reported figures. Each median counts only the companies with a comparable figure (sector / S&P 500): revenue growth 24/496, net margin 24/496, dividend per share 23/349, 1-year price change 24/490; the reasons below can overlap. 12 are left out of the price figure because our archive holds no comparable close for them; dividend medians are among the 23 sector and 349 S&P 500 companies reporting a per-share dividend. The S&P 500 price figure is the middle company's change, not the index's return.

Company profile

Albemarle Corporation, a Virginia corporation headquartered at 4250 Congress Street, Suite 900, in Charlotte, North Carolina, describes its business in its 10-K as transforming essential resources into critical ingredients for mobility, energy, connectivity and health. Its fiscal year ends December 31 and its common stock, $.01 par value, trades on the New York Stock Exchange as ALB; 117,847,220 shares were outstanding on February 4, 2026 (10-K cover), and 118,005,057 on July 29, 2026 (10-Q cover). The 10-K reports approximately 7,800 employees at December 31, 2025, including employees of consolidated joint ventures. For 2025 it reported three segments: Energy Storage, which makes basic lithium compounds including lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide; Specialties, covering bromine and highly specialized lithium solutions; and Ketjen, its catalysts segment. After selling control of the Refining Solutions business in March 2026, its 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 reports two segments, Energy Storage and Specialties.

The 10-K shows large swings. Revenues were $5,142,733 thousand in 2025 and $5,377,526 thousand in 2024, against net sales of $9,617,203 thousand in 2023 and $7,320,104 thousand in 2022. Net loss attributable to Albemarle Corporation common shareholders was $677,378 thousand in 2025, or $5.76 per diluted share, and $1,316,096 thousand in 2024, or $11.20; in 2023 net income attributable to common shareholders was $1,573,476 thousand, or $13.36 per diluted share. The 2025 operating loss of $367,084 thousand includes a goodwill impairment of $181,070 thousand and long-lived asset impairment charges of $245,600 thousand, both recorded in connection with the sale of its Refining Solutions business; the 2024 operating loss of $1,776,545 thousand includes restructuring charges and asset write-offs of $1,134,316 thousand, from 2024 restructuring actions that included stopping construction of Kemerton Train 3 and indefinitely suspending Train 4 in Western Australia (10-K).

According to its 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (unaudited), net sales were $1,743,313 thousand for the second quarter, against $1,329,992 thousand a year earlier, and net income attributable to Albemarle Corporation common shareholders was $438,272 thousand, or $3.72 per basic share, against a loss of $18,790 thousand, or $0.16 per share. In its August 5, 2026 release Albemarle attributed the increase in net sales primarily to higher prices in both Energy Storage and Specialties and volume growth in Specialties. J. Kent Masters is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and Neal R. Sheorey is Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (10-Q, Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2). In a Form 8-K filed September 3, 2026, Albemarle said its board had approved a succession plan under which Ragnar Udd, Chief Commercial Officer of BHP, is to become President and CEO effective February 1, 2027 or a mutually agreed earlier date, with Mr. Masters becoming Executive Chair.

Risks

Lithium prices and demand: Among its risk factors the 10-K says that demand and market prices for lithium will greatly affect the value of its investment in its lithium resources, and it also lists the development of non-lithium battery technologies and competition that may put downward pressure on prices and margins. Energy Storage net sales were $2,710,035 thousand in 2025 against $7,078,998 thousand in 2023 (10-K). In its August 5, 2026 release Albemarle gave its total-company 2026 outlook as a set of lithium market price scenarios rather than a single range (company projections).²
