In addition, lower interest rates can also spur investment in battery manufacturing facilities in China, further increasing lithium demand. Why ALB? Albemarle Corporation (ALB) is a global specialty chemicals company based in the US. It's primarily known as one of the world's largest lithium producers. While they also produce bromine specialties and refining catalysts, their core business revolves around extracting and processing lithium for use in electric vehicle batteries and energy storage systems, positioning them as a key player in the clean energy transition. But that's not all. Just two weeks ago, Rio Tinto (RIO) agreed to buy Arcadium Lithium (ALTM) for $6.7 billion, an all cash deal representing a 90% premium to Arcadium's share price. This isn't just a win for Rio Tinto, it's a seismic shift in the lithium sector. When big players like RIO move aggressively, it's a dead giveaway that the lithium market is heating up. And at a market cap of around $11B, Albemarle is set to ride this wave as the market consolidates and demand spikes. Potential Short Squeeze in ALB With about 10% of ALB's float short, any positive news or momentum shift could trigger a massive short squeeze. Given the recent positive catalysts, the high short-interest, and the stock price being beaten down (shares are down by 35% year-to-date), ALB is attractive at these current levels. Your Action Plan: ALB is sitting pretty at a bargain price, surrounded by bullish catalysts like Rio Tinto's aggressive acquisitions and China's interest rate cuts. The EV market is revving up, lithium demand is skyrocketing, and ALB is in the sweet spot to capitalize on it all. As EV sales surge towards 20 million units annually by 2030, ALB's position as a leading lithium supplier becomes even more critical.
