#1 - Albemarle (NYSE:ALB)
Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB) is one of the top lithium miners in the world. Lithium is one of the core materials needed in battery applications – including electric vehicles.
With the Trump trade firmly in place in the United States, you may feel that lithium stocks are a bad investment. Albemarle’s revenue and earnings are sharply lower in 2024. This move correlates to the fall in lithium prices as the EV market is well supplied.
However, the EV revolution will continue to move forward, and it may even accelerate. That’s why lithium stocks are likely to outperform in the coming years.
How long will you have to wait for this growth? ALB stock is down approximately 33% in 2024, but it’s expected to show strong earnings growth in 2025. Albemarle stock has delivered a total return of 56.81% over the past five years. That includes a dividend that Albemarle has increased for 30 consecutive years and has a 1.68% yield.
