Make your own forecastAbout Albemarle
Albemarle is a specialty chemicals company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and one of the largest producers of lithium. Its origins go back to a paper company founded in Virginia in 1887. Albemarle's Energy Storage segment produces lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide for batteries in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Specialties supplies lithium and bromine compounds for pharmaceuticals, electronics, flame retardants and other industrial uses, while Ketjen provides refining catalysts.
The company extracts lithium from brine in Chile's Salar de Atacama and in Nevada and has stakes in hard-rock mines in Australia, along with conversion plants in Australia and China. Customers include battery makers and automakers. The stock is closely tied to lithium prices, which have been highly volatile; a sharp price drop after 2022 led to cost cuts and reduced investment. Electric vehicle adoption, battery storage demand and supply from China and Africa are key themes. Albemarle trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ALB and is a member of the S&P 500.
The current price of Albemarle stock is $96.37 (+1.06% vs. the previous close). In today's trading the high was $97.81 and the low $95.08.
How the Quantum Forecast works
Research from quantum physics. The models are the result of several years of research at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and LMU Munich and were transferred to the stock market.
Spectra and correlations. Frequency spectra are calculated from current prices, and the relationships between price swings and volatility are analyzed. This produces the forecast and the risk assessment.
Detecting herd behavior. Models of phase transitions from statistical physics describe when investors collectively fall into panic or euphoria – an early sign of possible crash situations.
Swarm intelligence. User forecasts are checked once their time frame has expired and feed into the model, weighted by their hit rate.
The range band shows the typical fluctuation around the forecast. More on quantum physics & swarm intelligence
