What the numbers say

Albemarle Corporation is a specialty chemicals name in the materials sector. Over the past year it returned +63.8%, against -20.3% over three months and +13.2% over one. It trades 12.8% below its 200-day average, so recent moves have not repaired the longer downtrend. Annualized volatility of 58.7% is very high — position sizing matters more here than the ranking does.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -47.4%, and it has traded a median $291M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.33 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
