What is Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
SQM is better understood as a mineral-processing portfolio than as a conventional specialty-chemicals producer.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
SQM is better understood as a mineral-processing portfolio than as a conventional specialty-chemicals producer. Lithium and its derivatives form the largest reported revenue segment, while iodine, specialty plant nutrition, potassium and industrial chemicals connect the company to distinct end markets ranging from battery cathodes and medical imaging to crops and solar salts.
Reported revenue therefore blends products with different demand cycles and applications. Consolidated growth can be driven disproportionately by lithium, even while the other businesses provide meaningful operating breadth.
What do the latest results show for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q2 FY2026, carried revenue of $2.47B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The latest quarterly sequence shows accelerating revenue, gross profit, operating profit and net income, culminating in the strongest period shown. The most recent release also exceeded the accompanying revenue and earnings expectations, reversing the earlier pattern of earnings shortfalls.
Cash generation strengthened alongside accounting profit. Operating cash flow rose markedly while capital spending moderated from its recent peak, making the recovery broader than a rebound confined to the income statement.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $4.33B at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was $906.51M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations generated cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Liquidity is substantial: cash and short-term investments have risen sharply, and including longer-term investments brings liquid and investment assets close to total debt. Debt still exceeds cash and short-term investments, so SQM should not be treated as a net-cash business.
Recent operating cash flow has comfortably exceeded capital spending, supporting internal funding capacity. The main financial risk is reversal in the profit engine: lithium is the dominant segment, and the annual record shows how quickly consolidated earnings can swing from exceptional profitability to a loss before recovering.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 17, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Watch whether revenue and operating profit remain near the latest elevated run rate, whether operating cash flow continues to cover capital spending, and whether the cash balance keeps rising without a matching increase in debt. The next earnings release is the nearest test of that operating momentum.
Expectation ranges widen materially farther out, which signals limited agreement about the durability of SQM’s earnings path. Segment performance matters more than consolidated growth alone: sustained strength led by lithium carries a different risk profile from improvement shared with iodine and specialty plant nutrition.

How does Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile compare with its peers?
Short answer
Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile's score ranks 10th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Unlike a lithium pure play, SQM couples battery-material exposure with iodine derivatives, specialty crop nutrition, potassium products and industrial chemicals. That mix creates several demand channels, but it does not eliminate concentration because lithium remains the largest reported segment.
The portfolio also produces unusually strong consolidated margins during favorable conditions, while the annual earnings history shows pronounced cyclicality. Comparable chemical producers with steadier product pricing may offer smoother results; comparable lithium producers may offer more concentrated exposure without SQM’s iodine and agricultural businesses.

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile Basic Materials Stock: Key Questions Answered
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
Is SQM mainly a lithium producer?
Lithium and its derivatives are SQM’s largest reported segment, but the company also has substantial iodine and specialty plant nutrition operations, alongside potassium and industrial chemicals. Its earnings exposure is concentrated, while its product portfolio is diversified.
Why does SQM sell iodine as well as battery materials?
SQM processes a broad mineral portfolio rather than a single battery input. Its iodine derivatives serve medical imaging, pharmaceuticals, displays, agriculture and industrial applications, giving that segment a demand base distinct from lithium cathode materials.
Does SQM’s cash cover its debt?
Cash and short-term investments remain below total debt. Adding longer-term investments brings the available cash-and-investment pool close to debt, while recent operating cash generation adds financial flexibility.
What would confirm that SQM’s profit recovery is durable?
Continued revenue and operating-profit strength, cash flow remaining above capital spending, and participation from iodine or plant nutrition alongside lithium would make the recovery more broadly based. A renewed earnings shortfall or weakening cash conversion would challenge that conclusion.
What is the SQM stock price today?
The last price recorded on this page for Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) is $65.83, as of the Oct 5, 2026 trading session (source: Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) quote). It is a provider snapshot, not a live exchange feed, so check a brokerage quote before you trade.
