NewMarket Corporation
NewMarket Corporation (NEU) is a US-listed holding company whose principal businesses include Valvoline (retail and professional automotive care and lubricants) and Afton Chemical (speciality petroleum additives). With a market capitalisation around $7.13 billion, NEU offers exposure to both consumer-facing automotive aftermarket services and more industrial speciality-chemicals markets. Revenue drivers include demand for vehicle maintenance and lubricants, global mobility trends, and margins in high-value additive products. Strengths can include diversified end-markets, established brands and recurring demand for maintenance products, but the business also faces cyclical exposure to vehicle miles travelled, commodity and raw-material price swings, and competitive pressure. Investors should note the company’s capital-allocation choices — including dividends and shareholder returns — and monitor execution on growth initiatives.
