Today, 10:37 AMAlbemarle posts solid Q4 with $1.4B in sales (+16% YoY) but a $414M net loss from tax items and Ketjen write-downs, boosts lithium demand outlook and targets stronger 2026 margins at flat prices. It agrees to sell a stake in Ketjen and idles Kemerton Train 1, expecting EBITDA accretion from Q2 2026 with no impact on 2026 volumes.
