Will Tianqi Lithium's ownership of SQM fall below 18% by year-end 2026?
Current Prediction
Why This Question Matters
Tianqi Lithium's ~22% stake with active selling (~3M shares filed) creates persistent overhang identified by three lenses. If Tianqi drops below 18%, it signals accelerated exit that increases near-term pressure but reduces long-term overhang. The pace of reduction tests whether Tianqi's financial pressures or lithium market views are driving the selling.
