Nutrien Supported by Strong Execution, Fertilizer Fundamentals, RBC Says

Nutrien (NTR) is expected to benefit from solid agriculture demand, higher nitrogen prices, strong cash flow, possible asset sales, and continued share buybacks, RBC Capital Markets said.The investment firm said in a Friday note that Nutrien is executing well and should generate strong free cash flow in 2026 and 2027, helped in the near-term by higher nitrogen prices. The company's retail business remains on track for growth in 2026 as planted acreage stays high and demand improves for products that help crop yields.RBC expects nitrogen prices to stay high even after the Strait of Hormuz reopens, as fertilizer markets may take time to return to normal, according to the note.Potash demand remains steady, though there is some risk later in 2026 if farmers shift spending because nitrogen and phosphate prices remain high.RBC maintained its outperform rating and $85 price target.Shares of Nutrien were up 4.3% in Monday trading.Price: $71.26, Change: $+2.93, Percent Change: +4.29%

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Sell Rating On Shares Of Nutrien

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target price is $60 (raised from $56), valuing NTR at 4.2x our 2026 EBITDA estimate of $6.86 billion, below its three-year average forward EV/EBITDA of 6.9x and a discount to peers. We raise our 2026 EPS view by $0.77 to $5.83 and our 2027 EPS by $0.59 to $5.28. We think NTR's current performance benefits from temporary factors, including supply disruptions and unprecedented government support for financially distressed farmers. However, we expect these tailwinds to normalize over the medium term as new global capacity comes online and agricultural support programs moderate. Following Q1 results, NTR expressed a constructive view for potash and nitrogen. However, phosphate operations face significant margin pressure from elevated sulfur and ammonia costs. The duration and outcome of the ongoing Middle East conflict create major uncertainty for supply and pricing, while also putting upward pressure on commodity costs, in our view.

Nutrien Upgraded to Outperform at Raymond James

Nutrien Ltd. (NTR.TO, NTR) was upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Raymond James.Analyst Steve Hansen raised his price target on shares of the Canadian fertilizer company to US$90 from US$74.Hansen said his improved outlook on Nutrient is based upon: "1) early-stage signs of improving crop price fundamentals; 2) rising NPK prices, including recent fly-ups in Nitrogen & Phosphate stemming from the US-Iran war; and 3) commensurate increases to our forecasts.""While rising input costs (sulphur, fuel) and strained grower affordability represent competing near-term headwinds, we believe the net effect of these cross-currents will be higher durable earnings and FCF," the analyst said in a note to clients.
