Promising Fertilizer Stocks Worth Watching – October 3rd

CF Industries, Nutrien, and Mosaic are the three Fertilizer stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Fertilizer stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that manufacture or distribute plant nutrients—primarily nitrogen, phosphate and potash—used to boost crop yields. These equities give investors exposure to the agricultural sector and tend to be driven by global food demand, commodity prices and input costs (notably natural gas). Because they’re cyclical, fertilizer stocks often fluctuate with planting seasons, weather patterns and related government trade or environmental policies. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
