Mosaic, Nutrien, CF Industries, CVR Energy, and Intrepid Potash are the five Fertilizer stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Fertilizer stocks are shares of companies that produce, distribute or sell agricultural fertilizers—such as nitrogen, phosphate and potash-based products—used to boost crop yields. Their performance tends to track global food demand, crop‐pricing cycles and key input costs (for example, natural gas for ammonia production). As a commodity‐linked, cyclical play, they can offer investors both growth opportunities during strong agricultural markets and a potential hedge against rising food prices. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
