March 2 (Reuters) - Chile's SQM , the world's
second-largest lithium producer, on Thursday posted a
fourth-quarter net profit that more than tripled, fueled by
demand for the white metal, which is used by carmakers in the
booming electric vehicle industry.
The South American chemicals firm posted a net profit of
$1.15 billion for the three months ended December 2022, from
revenues up nearly three-fold at $3.13 billion.
