Sigma-Aldrich

Sigma-Aldrich is among the world’s largest Specialty Chemicals sector businesses in the world. Sigma-Aldrich’s employees generate $285.2M in profits on $1.850B of revenue. Global output in the Specialty Chemicals business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years. Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Sigma-Aldrich is determined to remain a market leader. Sectoral leadership in the Specialty Chemicals segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Sigma-Aldrich’s ticker symbol SIAL has recently been trading near $42.90 a share. The Sigma-Aldrich corporate headquarters in St. Louis MO predicts Specialty Chemicals profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $5.633B ensures sufficient liquidity. With a beta of 0.72, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole. When the average equity moves lower, Sigma-Aldrich moves less aggressively.
