Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM) reports a change in its board leadership. As of May 26, 2026, Mr. Gonzalo Guerrero Yamamoto resigned from his role as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM) reported a very strong first quarter of 2026, driven mainly by lithium. Revenues reached US$1,760.1 million, up 69.8% year-on-year, while net income rose to US$364.7 million or US$1.28 per share, a 165.2% increase.
Gross profit more than doubled to US$778.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA reached US$837.0 million with a 47.6% margin. Lithium and derivatives revenues grew 135.7% to US$1,185.5 million, with sales volumes of about 69 thousand metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent as the company operated at full capacity.

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (SQM) files its annual report describing a lithium- and fertilizer-focused business that is heavily concentrated in Chile. Production centers are mainly in the Salar de Atacama and caliche deposits in northern Chile, with exports representing 96.5% of 2025 net revenues.
The company highlights strong dependence on the Salar de Atacama, where products generated 50.1% of 2025 consolidated revenues, and explains the new Nova Andino Litio joint venture with state-owned Codelco. SQM controls the venture through 2030, but Codelco will control operations from 2031 to 2060, and a new environmental permit will be required to keep producing after 2030.
The filing details sharp lithium price volatility, with average prices from the Salar de Atacama falling from US$30,467 per metric ton in 2023 to US$9,174 in 2025, as well as a US$2.7 billion capital expenditure plan for 2025–2027 to expand lithium, iodine and nitrate capacity in Chile and Australia. Extensive risk factors cover regulatory change in Chile, joint venture governance, climate and water constraints, ESG expectations, cyber and operational safety, currency swings and ownership concentration, including large stakes held by the Pampa Group and Tianqi.

The partnership covers mining, production, commercial, community, and environmental development of the Salar de Atacama. The merger had been subject to a condition requiring Chile’s Supreme Court to accept an appeal filed by Inversiones TLC SpA (Tianqi’s Appeal).
