Fair Value models

Bear $15.26 Fair Value $32.21 Bull $43.69
Price $57.52 · Downside -44.0%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then ($2.94 per share) are deliberately not added. Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds. Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 55/100
Spin-off in 2016: revenue and profit before it include the divested business. Growth is measured afresh from 2016.
Revenue growth 1 year

Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.

Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+10.0%
What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Basis: adjusted.
+19.0%
Earnings growth per share plus dividend.
Earnings per share, growth per year+16.5%
Dividend (yield on the price)2.5%

Labelled "steady" when both rates are within 3 percentage points of each other, otherwise picking up or flattening. Shown only when ten years of history exist.base effect: 14.6% / 9.0%
Profit margin 2020 to 2025 ⓘOperating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.17% → 25%
Pace: the 5-year rate starts in 2020 (pandemic)

Growth Forecast

A lot of optimism in the price
The price assumes about as much growth as the company has delivered so far and more than analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
+22.6%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+10.2%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (USA: IMF forecast 2.4% a year to 2030, 3.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +19.8% a year for the price and +7.7% for the forecasts.
Forecast 2026 (sales)+80.7%
Forecast 2027 (sales)−3.6%
Projected 2028 (sales)−2.9%
Projected 2029 (sales)−2.2%

Recent news coverage is more positive than average.
Note from the team Oct 11, 2026
AI conclusion: Moderate moat potential from scale in lithium extraction is offset by weak differentiation and commodity exposure that limits durability.
Main risk: Legal challenges, indigenous lawsuits and government audits of the Codelco joint venture could disrupt operations or alter terms after 2030, hitting lithium volumes and margins.
Bull case: Successful defence of the joint venture and smoother permitting could secure long-term access to low-cost brine resources and support volume growth.
Bear case: If the partnership unravels or faces stricter terms, the company could lose significant production rights in Chile and face higher costs or reduced output.
SQM earns the bulk of its profits from lithium chemicals extracted in Chile. The company has committed to roughly three billion dollars in capital spending through 2028, most of it for the Novandino joint venture with Codelco and related expansions. Our models see the shares as overvalued. Will the added volumes from these projects protect margins if lithium prices stay soft?

What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA ADR B that is +22.6 % per year for five years, then slowing evenly to 2 % by year ten, using the same discount rate (9.4 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA ADR B (SQM) delivered so far?

The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 2.66 %: that much free cash flow Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA ADR B produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (9.4 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA ADR B (SQM)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA ADR B it is $32.21 per share (as of Nov 9, 2026), against a price of $57.52.

What is the P/E ratio of SQM?
Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA ADR B trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.4 (as of Nov 9, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of $32.21 is built from several models across several years.
