Albemarle shares closed at $97.97, down 1.04% on the day, despite a bullish analyst upgrade from Mizuho. The firm raised its rating on ALB from Neutral to Outperform while maintaining a $130 price target, which implies significant upside from the current close. The stock traded in a range between $96.01 and $100.76 on volume of about 2.9 million shares. While the upgrade is a positive catalyst, the stock still finished lower, suggesting broader market or sector pressures weighed on shares today. The bullish analyst action could support a rebound if sentiment improves.
