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 that mine, refine or process lithium—a key metal used in rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles, consumer electronics and grid energy storage. Because lithium is critical to the clean-energy transition, these stocks offer investors exposure to growing demand for electric transportation and renewable power systems. At the same time, they can be volatile due to swings in commodity prices, capital-intensive extraction costs and evolving battery-technology trends. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Lithium stocks within the last several days.
