Tuesday, May 7, 3:58 PM Albemarle Corporation (ALB) declares $0.24/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.55%. For shareholders of record June 14. Payable July 01. Ex-div date June 12. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
Wednesday, April 17, 4:38 PM More on Albemarle (ALB): FQ4 misses across the board as total sales declined by 9.8% Y/Y. The company attributes the miss to its exit from the phosphorus flame retardants business, lower metals surcharges and pricing on certain products, particularly in its catalyst unit. The unit was impacted by higher start-up costs from its two greenfield polyolefin catalysts expansions, plus an unfavorable mix in refinery catalysts. Comment! [Earnings, Commodities]
Wednesday, April 17, 4:13 PM Albemarle (ALB): FQ4 EPS of $0.93 misses by $0.09. Revenue of $642M misses by $43.25M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Thursday, January 24, 2:05 PM Albemarle (ALB -5.2%) is cut to Hold from Buy at Deutsche Bank, which sees no near-term catalysts after the specialty chemical maker's Q4 results, as 2013 EPS will be back-end loaded and valuation is fair at 13.2x estimated EPS. With H1 EPS expected down 17% Y/Y, the firm believes the shares will be range-bound for now. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
Tuesday, January 22, 4:20 PM Albemarle (ALB): Q4 EPS of $1.17 beats by $0.16. Revenue of $688M (-3% Y/Y) beats by $41.24M. Shares +0.3% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]
Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 2:59 PM Shares of Albemarle (ALB +1.6%) move higher today on positive comments out Goldman.

It reiterates a Buy with $67 price target. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 4:43 PM Albemarle (ALB): Q3 EPS of $1.10 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $661.2M (-8.4% Y/Y) misses by $9M. Shares -4.2% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
