Fertilizer stocks are the publicly traded shares of companies that manufacture and distribute agricultural nutrients—primarily nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium–based products. Investors in these stocks gain exposure to the farm-inputs sector, whose performance is driven by factors such as global crop demand, commodity prices and weather conditions. Because fertilizer producers’ profitability hinges on raw‐material costs and planting cycles, their share prices often track agricultural outlooks.
