FUNDAMENTAL RATING
FUNDAMENTAL SCORE
61 / 100
Summary
Albemarle reported a large annual net loss of $-510.63M in the most recent fiscal year, which is the most load-bearing fact for the company. Revenue compounded at -11.1% a year (CAGR (compound annual growth rate)), and latest annual revenue declined 4.4% YoY (year-over-year). The year-over-year net income comparison is NM (loss narrowed), so the latest annual net income YoY does not yield a usable growth number; instead the most recent quarter showed an improving result with $480.0M in net income and a 50.4% QoQ (quarter-over-quarter) increase. Assets over liabilities are not reported, so balance-sheet coverage cannot be directly assessed here. The Piotroski F-Score of 5 on a 0 to 9 quality scale is a mixed earnings-quality reading, and the reporting history is limited, making this a provisional read. The next earnings report must show whether quarterly profitability persists and translates into a positive annual net income trend.

Data Source
This dashboard applies a modified 9-signal Piotroski F-Score (Piotroski, 2000) and Altman Z-Score models. Fundamental filing data is sourced from the SEC's EDGAR XBRL database (primary), with API Ninjas as backup for freshly-filed 10-Ks not yet in SEC. Live price, market cap, and EPS display use Tiingo end-of-day data. This page is informational analysis, not investment advice. See Financial Disclaimer.

Formula & Methodology
Trend inputAnnual revenue and net income year-over-year direction contributes 20% of the score.
Piotroski inputModified 9-test Piotroski F-Score (Quality) contributes 40% of the score.
Altman inputAltman Z-Score (Distress) contributes 40% of the score.
Rating ruleFormula: Trend (20%) + Piotroski F-Score (40%) + Altman Z-Score (40%). Trend blends annual revenue and net income year-over-year direction. Piotroski is the modified 9-test variant (7 classic + 2 cash-flow tests). Altman uses the 1968 Z-Score with Safe/Grey/Distress zones. Combined blend uses ±0.45 thresholds: Bullish at +0.45 or higher, Bearish at -0.45 or lower, Neutral in between. Missing sub-signals count as Neutral (0) and weights are not re-normalized — a company with fewer available signals must earn its rating from stronger reads on the remaining pillars.
