Exxon Mobil, Albemarle, and Rio Tinto Group are the three Lithium stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Lithium stocks are shares of publicly traded companies involved in the exploration, mining, processing or manufacturing of lithium, a key metal used in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, grid storage and portable electronics. Because lithium is essential to the rapidly growing battery industry, these stocks offer investors a way to participate in the shift toward electrification and renewable energy. However, they can also be volatile, as their performance is tied to commodity-price swings, geopolitical factors and evolving battery technologies.
