ICL Israel Chemicals Ltd

ICL Israel Chemicals Ltd

ICL (Israel Chemicals Ltd) is a global specialty minerals and chemicals company best known for fertilisers (phosphate and potash), bromine-based solutions and industrial compounds. It supplies agricultural customers, food and pharma ingredient makers, and manufacturers of flame retardants and water-treatment chemicals. Investors should note ICL’s mix of commodity exposure—sensitive to crop cycles and commodity prices—and higher-value specialty products that can support steadier margins. The company has progressed on operational efficiency and product diversification, and historically has returned cash to shareholders through dividends when conditions allow. Key risks include commodity-price volatility, currency moves, environmental and regulatory costs, and geopolitical exposure tied to its Israeli base of operations. Sustainable practices and resource management are increasingly important to the business.
