Albemarle Faces Q3 Earnings Test Amid Mixed Analyst Views. Albemarle is set to report third-quarter earnings on November 4, 2026, a key date for the battery materials sector. While some analysts note improving fundamentals, Mizuho recently lowered its price target to $130 and maintained a Neutral rating. The stock is currently trading near its 52-week low, reflecting ongoing market caution despite recent positive news about supply chain resilience.
