Key Points

  • MarketBeat highlights five fertilizer stocks to watch: Mosaic (MOS), CF Industries (CF), Nutrien (NTR), CVR Energy (CVI) and LSB Industries (LXU) — these had the highest dollar trading volume among fertilizer names in recent days.
  • Sector drivers are highly cyclical and volatile: performance is tied to crop prices and planting cycles and is sensitive to input-commodity costs (natural gas, potash, phosphate), weather and geopolitical supply shocks (e.g., Hormuz closure/Iran conflict).
  • Companies specialize in different fertilizer segments: Mosaic focuses on phosphate and potash, CF on ammonia/nitrogen, Nutrien on retail plus potash/nitrogen/phosphate, CVR combines refining with nitrogen fertilizer, and LSB produces nitrogen-based fertilizer products.
  • MarketBeat previews top five stocks to own in May.

Mosaic, CF Industries, Nutrien, CVR Energy, and Lsb Industries are the five Fertilizer stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Fertilizer stocks are shares of companies that manufacture, distribute, or sell fertilizers and related agricultural inputs, providing investors with exposure to the agricultural inputs sector. Their performance is driven by crop prices and planting cycles, input-commodity costs (e.g., natural gas, potash, phosphate), weather and geopolitical supply factors, making them cyclical and often sensitive to commodity-price volatility. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
