Nutrien, CF Industries, and Mosaic are the three Fertilizer stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Fertilizer stocks are shares of companies that manufacture, distribute or retail agricultural nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphate and potassium compounds. Investors track these equities to gain exposure to the farming-inputs sector, whose revenues tend to rise with stronger crop prices, farm incomes or global food demand. Because fertilizer producers often operate in cyclical and commodity-driven markets, their stock performance can be sensitive to raw-material costs, government policies and seasonal planting trends. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
