Analysis
Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A (SQM-B) currently trades at 74,050 CLP, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 26,509 CLP, implying the stock looks roughly 64.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A generated revenue of 5.3B CLP at a net margin of 15.4%. Revenue grew 69.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.4%. Net debt stands at 2.9B CLP. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 15,884 CLP (bear case) to 40,295 CLP (bull case); at 74,050 CLP, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 14% below its 52-week high and 172% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -59% fair-value upside, at -64%, SQM-B screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (29,910 CLP) versus Dividend Discount (215.18 CLP). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 57 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 67
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
