Albemarle named short-term buy idea at Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank analyst David Begleiter placed a "Catalyst Call: Buy" on shares of Albemarle as a short-term investment idea ahead of the company’s strategy call on January 24. The analyst expects Albemarle’s 2023 guidance to bracket consensus for both lithium and the total company. He also believes the company will provide lithium pricing commentary and possibly guidance for its five-year outlook that is above sell-side projections of lithium prices moving down materially over the next few years.
