Albemarle Corporation (ALB)

ALB Quantitative Snapshot

Academic risk and quality models computed from ALB's own filings and price history, not from analyst opinion.

Piotroski F-Score

5 / 9

Mixed: 5 of 9 fundamental-health tests pass, so profitability and balance-sheet trends disagree.

Altman Z-Score

2.36

Altman Z in the 1.81 to 2.99 grey zone, the band where the model gives no clear bankruptcy verdict.

Beneish M-Score

-2.47

Beneish M below the -1.78 flag threshold, so the earnings-manipulation model finds nothing unusual in the accruals and margin trends.

Market Regime (HMM)

Sideways · 65% confidence

Hidden Markov model fitted to two years of returns, separating bull, bear and sideways states by their own drift and volatility.

Forecast Volatility (30d)

58.5%

GARCH(1,1) 30-day annualised forecast, above the current 56.6% reading.

Market Beta (5-factor)

1.00

Fama-French 5-factor market beta. The five factors explain 18% of this stock's return variance; the rest is idiosyncratic.

Own 5-Year Median P/E

19.5

The stock’s own historical valuation anchor, which is a fairer comparison than a sector average for a company with a persistent premium or discount.
