Values are as tagged by the issuer in XBRL. Revenue for banks and insurers is net of interest expense where that is the reported line. Fiscal years that do not follow the calendar are shown by their period-end date. No price, market cap, or valuation multiple is shown because Yield Theory does not republish unlicensed market data.

Diluted EPS is the earnings figure behind the price-to-earnings ratio; the P/E multiple compression calculator shows how a change in that multiple moves a share price. Shares outstanding multiplied by the share price gives market capitalization.

What investors should watch in ALB

Albemarle Corporation sits in Materials. Miners, chemicals, and building materials — an early-cycle, China-sensitive read on global industrial demand. We have not yet written company-specific drivers for ALB; the forces that matter most for the sector are:

  • ◆Chinese industrial and construction demand
  • ◆The US dollar and commodity prices
  • ◆Energy-transition metals like copper and lithium
  • ◆Tariffs and global trade flows

Key questions for the ALB thesis

Each question starts with what the filings show, then why it matters. None of these is a rating or a forecast.

How much of ALB's revenue is left as profit?

Net income was -9.9% of revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, based on revenue and net income reported for the same period.

Net margin reflects the business model as much as execution, so compare it with companies in the same SEC industry and read the income statement for one-time items before treating it as a run rate.
