Key Points

  • Seven fertilizer stocks to watch: MarketBeat's screener flagged CF Industries, Nutrien, Mosaic, CVR Energy, LSB Industries, CVR Partners, and Intrepid Potash as the top fertilizer names by recent dollar trading volume.
  • Why they matter: Fertilizer stocks are a play on global food demand and crop prices but are highly cyclical and sensitive to input costs (notably natural gas), weather, and trade or government policy.
  • Different company focuses: CF is a major ammonia and nitrogen producer, Nutrien combines retail distribution with potash/nitrogen/phosphate segments, and Mosaic concentrates on phosphate and potash mining and processing.
  • MarketBeat previews the top five stocks to own by May 1st.

CF Industries, Nutrien, Mosaic, CVR Energy, Lsb Industries, CVR Partners, and Intrepid Potash are the seven Fertilizer stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Fertilizer stocks are shares of companies that manufacture, distribute, or supply agricultural nutrients—such as nitrogen, phosphate, and potash—used to boost crop yields. Investors view them as a play on global food demand and crop prices, with earnings and share prices that can be cyclical and sensitive to input costs (e.g., natural gas), weather, and trade or government policies. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
