ISE Chemicals Signs Deal to Build Iodine Facilities in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma ISE Chemicals has signed a definitive agreement with Select Water Solutions to fund, design, construct, own and operate commercial iodine extraction and refining facilities in the US, using produced water infrastructure across Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, with a first plant targeted for commissioning in 2027 and a broader build-out aiming for around 3,000 tonnes of iodine output per year by 2030.
The partnership shifts ISE Chemicals toward a larger US footprint and greater access to produced water feedstock, while Select Water Solutions will provide sourcing and infrastructure support and receive royalties from the iodine facilities.
ISE Chemicals’ share price is ¥4,385, with the stock up 19.0% over the past day, against a backdrop of weaker performance over the past three months.
This agreement gives ISE Chemicals a clearer long-term growth avenue but also adds execution and project timing risk around new facilities and US operations. New Risk • Jun 26
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 9.9% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Upcoming Dividend • Jun 22

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Dividend per share is over 6x cash flows per share. Dividend yield: 8.8% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (dividend per share is over 6x cash flows per share).
