Mosaic, Nutrien, and CF Industries 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 and distribute agricultural fertilizers—such as nitrogen, phosphate and potash—to farmers and agribusinesses. Their performance tends to track global crop prices, weather-driven planting cycles and input costs, making them cyclical and sensitive to supply-and-demand shifts in the food-production sector. Investors often include fertilizer stocks to gain exposure to agricultural trends or to hedge against rising food prices and inflation. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
