Intrepid Potash Q4 EBITDA Soars to $18.1M as Oilfield Sale Negotiations Begin
Intrepid Potash posted Q4 adjusted net income of $6.5 million and EBITDA of $18.1 million while oilfield sales declined significantly with an asset sale under negotiation. Potash production for 2026 is forecast flat to slightly down due to below-average evaporation, and lithium project economics remain undefined.
