MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Nutrien Ltd.:

  • Nutrien Ltd. is currently trading at $75.04, which is below the consensus price target of $81.15 set by 22 brokerages, suggesting potential upside of approximately 8% for investors who align with the "Moderate Buy" consensus rating.
  • The company offers a dividend yield of 2.95% with a payout ratio of 44.53%, indicating that the dividend is well-covered by earnings and provides a steady income stream for shareholders without overextending the company's cash flow.
  • Institutional interest is strong, with 63.10% of the stock owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors, and recent filings show significant position increases by funds like Andra AP fonden and Engineers Gate Manager LP, signaling confidence in the company's long-term value.
  • Nutrien Ltd. demonstrated revenue growth of 3.6% year-over-year in its most recent quarter, reaching $10.81 billion, which exceeded analyst expectations of $10.44 billion, indicating strong demand for its crop inputs and agricultural services.
  • The stock has a beta of 0.62, which is lower than the market average, suggesting that Nutrien Ltd. may provide a more stable investment with less volatility compared to the broader market, making it attractive for risk-averse investors.

Nutrien
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Nutrien Ltd. for these reasons:

  • Nutrien Ltd. missed its earnings per share estimate in the most recent quarter, reporting $2.61 EPS compared to the consensus estimate of $2.70, which may raise concerns about the company's ability to meet profit expectations.
  • The stock is trading at $75.04, which is below its 52-week high of $85.36, indicating that the stock has experienced a decline from its peak and may be facing headwinds or market skepticism.
  • Short interest has increased in recent months, with 6,008,012 shares shorted as of the latest report, suggesting that some investors are betting against the stock's performance and expecting a price drop.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.36, which, while not excessive, indicates a level of leverage that could become a concern if interest rates rise or if the company faces financial difficulties.
  • Nutrien Ltd. is exposed to geopolitical risks, as seen in the recent drop in stock price following news of a potential U.S. potash deal with Belarus, which could impact the company's market position and profitability.
