On July 28, 2025, JPMorgan reiterated its ‘Neutral’ rating, raising the price target for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (NYSE:SQM) from $39 to $41. This price revision comes just a month after the analyst reduced its target for the company amid softer lithium price forecasts and weaker Q1 performance of SQM.

In Q1, while electric vehicle demand rebounded, the analyst remains wary of trade tensions and over-supply concerns in the lithium market. The analyst reduced SQM’s 2025 EBITDA forecast to $1.407 billion, which is 4% below consensus. Furthermore, the analyst noted that Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (NYSE:SQM) is burning $77 million in cash, with a valuation of 9x forward EV/EBITDA. Thus, the analyst sees limited room for a rerating in the short term. The analyst attributed the price target increase to the lithium market recovery.
