Sociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile SA (SQM) shares surged 5.03% in Thursday's intraday trading session, following the release of the company's full-year 2024 financial results.
SQM reported a 39% year-over-year decline in revenue to $4.53 billion for the full year 2024. However, the company's revenue exceeded analysts' expectations by 1.3%.
