TRADE
Lots of stress in recent months for these names due to supply constraints on fertilizer components from Strait of Hormuz. Recent move down makes it more attractive. Loves the "feed the world" trade.
Very important, but very cyclical. Look at a 10-year chart and see multi-years of up, and then multi-years of down. The sector is not a buy-and-hold for a long time. Cheap now, he likes it.

TOP PICK
Its base is around $24. He's not buying it because it's a quality name, but because it will play catch-up to its peers in fertilizer.
(Analysts’ price target is $28.67)

(A Top Pick Jun 07/22, Down 7.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with MOS triggered its stop at $52. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 19%, when combined with previous buy recommendations.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly With agriculture taking centre stage during the Ukraine crisis, second only to energy, we again reiterate MOS as a TOP PICK. The company is the largest producer of potash and phosphate fertilizer in the US -- desperately needed to boost farmer yields during the global food shortage. It trades at 8x earnings compared to peers at 11x and and supports a healthy 23% ROE. It continues to build cash reserves will retiring debt. We recommend trailing down the stop slightly (from $55) to $52, looking to achieve $75 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 1.01% (Analysts’ price target is $75.15)

TOP PICK
Likes the ag space. Higher beta name. One of the largest producers of phosphate and potash. Ukraine conflict is creating supply shocks that are helping names like this. Management expects markets to remain tight beyond 2022. Longer term, reduction in arable land pushes demand for product. Yield is 0.66%. (Analysts’ price target is $75.22)

Wheat prices are coming down, then fertilizer prices become too much for farmers, and then demand comes down. Commodities in general are coming off highs. Longer term, likes the name, as product increases productivity. Volatile, pay attention if you trade.
