Why Albemarle Stock Crashed 10% Friday

Why Albemarle Stock Crashed 10% Friday

Lithium investors are having a bad day Friday, as reports out of Chile that President Gabriel Boric intends to nationalize the Chilean lithium industry devastate shares of lithium companies with interests in the country. This is bad news for investors in lithium stock Albemarle (NYSE: ALB), shares of which are down 10.4% as of 3 p.m. ET on the news. Specifically, the good news is that while Albemarle may be hurt by Chile's action, it won't be hurt as badly as Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (NYSE: SQM), another lithium miner that's seeing its shares devastated today.
