Lithium Miners News For The Month Of June 2023

Albemarle has seen a huge increase in its lithium business. After record 2022 price levels, lithium prices have come down a great deal but recovered a bit again in recent weeks. While 2023 looks to become a bit softer than originally guided, I am confident after the release of the first quarter results and a recovery in lithium prices.

Albemarle: Looking Attractive Here

Albemarle cut 2023 financial targets due to softening lithium prices. The company and industry are still forecasting massive lithium supply shortages in the years ahead due to new mine delays. The stock is cheap after the sell-off, trading at only 3.5x '27 adjusted EBITDA targets.

Albemarle: Risk/Reward Is Outstanding, Strong Buy

Leading lithium miner Albemarle Corporation dip buyers returned to defend against a further selloff in April, as ALB outperformed the market since then. I encouraged investors to buy ALB's peak pessimism in April, as the valuation dislocation presented a fantastic opportunity. The company remains well-positioned to capitalize on the secular growth in EVs as the global transition expands to more markets. Therefore, the world needs more lithium, not less.

We share data on over 40 top stocks with truly impressive profit margins and very high expected sales growth. We dive deeper into four specific names from the lists that are particularly impressive, especially considering the current challenging macroeconomic backdrop. We begin with a special focus on Lithium Americas, in light of its explosive growth expectations (as lithium-based batteries for electric vehicles ramp dramatically in the decade ahead).

Lithium Americas: 40 Top Stocks, These 4 Worth Considering

The materials sector, which includes Albemarle Corporation, is struggling to maintain recent gains and is close to fresh 52-week relative lows to the S&P 500. ALB is a major lithium producer with a positive long-term outlook due to the growth of electric vehicles, but recent technical signs and potential risks make it a hold rather than a buy. Such risks include dampening global demand for consumer electronics and EVs, increased supply from competitors, and lower lithium spot prices.
