美国雅保(ALB)当地时间10月8日股价盘中大跌5.1%,引发了市场关注。导致雅保股价下跌的主要原因是,英澳矿业巨头力拓集团(Rio Tinto)宣布以67亿美元收购全球第七大锂生产商Arcadium Lithium。
消息传出后,盘中雅保股价最大下挫5.62%至96.82美元,创近两年新低,最终收于100.18美元,较前一交易日下跌4.11%。本次交易将让力拓一举成为全球电动汽车电池金属顶级供应商之一,与雅保、智利矿业公司(SQM)等公司展开直接竞争。
分析人士认为,虽然力拓的收购行为呈现出一定逆周期特征,但势必会加剧行业供给压力。未来锂价大涨空间或将受限,这将不利于已有锂生产商如雅保等公司。投资者对收购消息反应过度,令雅保股价在今日交易中出现重挫。长期来看,力拓在锂矿方面仍处于追赶者地位,对于现有行业龙头的冲击将有所限制。
