The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- ALB closes below its 50-day average ($107.55), and the 50-day sits below the 200-day ($147.96): on both averages the chart reads as a downtrend.
- At $99.25, ALB is 55.1% below its 1-year high of $221.00, set on May 7, 2026, and 10.6% above its 1-year low of $89.77 (October 30, 2026).
- Over the past month ALB fell 2.8%, from $102.10 to $99.25.
- ALB trades at 23.9x its last twelve months of earnings and 10.8x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 122.4% higher.
- Its P/E is 30.1% below the 34.2x median of the 3 other specialty chemicals companies we track (LIN, SHW, ECL).
- ALB's 30-day volatility, 39.2% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.5%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.36: over five years of monthly returns, ALB moved about 1.36% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- A close above the 50-day average, $107.55 (+8.4%), would turn the read to a rebound; an uptrend also needs the 50-day to climb 37.6% to cross the 200-day at $147.96.
- A close above $221.00 (+122.7%) would be a new 1-year high; below $89.77 (−9.6%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for ALB, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under specialty chemicals among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
