Estimates and results for SQM via Financial Modeling Prep. Beating consensus says the company cleared the bar analysts set, not that the business grew.

Insider trading

Open-market buys and sells by SQM officers and directors.

No open-market trades in the recent filings. All 2 recent Form 4 entries were share awards, option exercises or tax withholding — pay, not decisions to buy or sell.

2 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to. Via SEC filings.

Valuation

Project earnings forward and see what return today's price implies.

Seeded from SQM's reported EPS growth of 0.1% a year over 4 years.

EPS in 5 years
$2.07
Implied price
$68.18
Return from $74.53
-1.8% a year

To earn 15.0% a year on these assumptions you'd need to buy at $33.90 -54.5% below today's price.

How sensitive is that answer?

Annual return across nearby assumptions. If the result is only attractive in one corner, that is the finding.

growth \ P/E2328333843
-9.9%-17.7%-14.4%-11.6%-9.0%-6.8%
-4.9%-13.2%-9.7%-6.7%-4.0%-1.6%

5.1%-4.0%-0.2%3.1%6.1%8.7%
10.1%0.5%4.6%8.0%11.1%13.9%

This is arithmetic on assumptions you chose, not a forecast or a recommendation. It ignores dividends, buybacks, share issuance and debt, and it assumes a company still earning money in 5 years. Change any input and the answer changes a lot — that sensitivity is the honest result, not a flaw in the model.
