Description: NEU NewMarket November 05, 2025
NewMarket Corporation (NYSE: NEU) manufactures and sells a broad portfolio of petroleum-based additives, covering lubricant formulations for automotive, heavy-duty, marine and industrial equipment, as well as fuel additives that improve refinery yields and fuel performance. Its product lines span engine-oil additives for passenger cars, motorcycles, off-road equipment and ocean-going vessels; driveline additives for transmissions and axles; and industrial additives for hydraulic fluids, greases, turbine oils, and specialty applications. The company also markets antiknock compounds, offers contract manufacturing services, and holds a real-property asset in Virginia.
Key operating metrics highlight the firm’s exposure to cyclical end-markets: NEU reported FY 2024 revenue of roughly $1.1 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of ~13%, reflecting steady demand from the automotive aftermarket and industrial sectors. The additive business is sensitive to global lubricant consumption, which is projected to grow 3-4% annually through 2028, driven by rising vehicle miles traveled and stricter engine-efficiency standards. Conversely, the transition to electric vehicles could suppress long-term demand for traditional engine-oil additives, making diversification into industrial and fuel-additive segments a strategic hedge.
