Tuesday’s 10 Worst-Performing Stocks

5. Albemarle Corporation (NYSE:ALB)

Albemarle Corp. fell for a fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, slashing 12.63 percent to end at $50.76 apiece as investors continued to dispose of positions in the company amid its risks from President Donald Trump’s tariff policies.

ALB, a specialty chemicals manufacturing company that specializes in lithium, bromine, and refining catalysts, operates in 34 locations, including eight facilities in China, making it one of the companies vulnerable in the growing trade war globally from the threats of higher costs of exports and raw materials.

Apart from China, ALB also operates facilities in India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the North and South Americas.

Last week, the company said that it would release its first quarter earnings results on April 30, 2025, where investors will also be looking out for cues and outlook on the company’s business for the rest of the year and in the long-term period.
