Albemarle Corporation (ISIN US0126531013) was last at USD 104.37 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, down USD 0.22 or 0.21 percent from the prior close. The company is heading toward its third-quarter results, scheduled for November 4, 2026, according to Magnolia Reporter on October 5, 2026.

November 4 sets the next test

The release will follow a second quarter in which net sales rose 31 percent year over year to USD 1.7433 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 155 percent to USD 858.1 million, according to Financial Report Insights in its Q2 2026 analysis.

The reported improvement was concentrated in pricing rather than volume. Q2 net income attributable to Albemarle reached USD 480.0 million, compared with USD 22.9 million in Q2 2025, while the adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 49.2 percent from 25.3 percent, the same analysis said.

Analysts retain a wide target range

On October 1, 2026, Mizuho lowered its price target to USD 130 from USD 140 and kept a Neutral rating, citing high China-finished product exports and demand pressure from higher interest rates, according to Markets Insider.

The broader consensus remains more constructive but highly dispersed. TradingView reported a Buy consensus from 22 covering analysts, an average target of USD 173.29, a low of USD 130 and a high of USD 225. The average target lies 66.0 percent above the October 5 price.

Stock stays above its yearly low

Albemarle's market capitalization was USD 12.3 billion on October 5, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 88.01 to USD 221.00. The USD 104.37 last price therefore sits well below the yearly high while remaining above the yearly low, leaving the November report as the next dated checkpoint for the lithium and specialty chemicals business.
