Top Fertilizer Stocks To Watch Today - July 1st

Union Pacific, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.- Petrobras, Mosaic, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, and AGCO are the seven Fertilizer stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Fertilizer stocks are publicly traded shares of companies that manufacture, distribute or sell chemical and organic fertilizers—products formulated to supply essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to crops. Investors follow these equities to gain exposure to the agribusiness sector, where revenues and profits largely depend on crop prices, weather patterns, global food demand and raw‐material costs. Because factors such as input‐price volatility, environmental regulations and geopolitical developments can sharply affect supply and demand, fertilizer stocks often exhibit higher sensitivity to commodity-cycle swings. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Fertilizer stocks within the last several days.
