DON'T BUY

Recent downtrend not good for investors. Doesn't appear to have a bottom on the stock price. Would not invest at this time. Wait for stock to reach bottom. 

TRADE

At depressed prices you could sell put options at a $60 price if looking to buy the stock below $60. In general the option market is now bigger than the stock market in the U.S. Banks go out and start buying medium and long term call options in depressed names and build their positions.

DON'T BUY

Long-term horizon. Very few providers. You're basing your investment decision on, in very simple terms, whether farmers are going to be using the product or not. If you get a year where there's no demand, you have to wait another year.

Supply/demand can swing wildly, as with any commodity. Too volatile for him, like catching a falling knife.

SELL
Bought at $71, trading at $61.

We don't know what's going to happen to potash production in Russia or Belarus. Don't know what the weather's going to be next year, or corn or soy prices. He doesn't want to buy something that depends on all those things.

The narrative of "you have to feed the world" is a great story. When he entered the business, there was a big call on Massey Ferguson. Massey went bankrupt. The story just doesn't work as a business.

WEAK BUY

Stays away when a fluctuating commodity price will impact earnings too much. Yet she owns this one. Half of its business is agricultural retail, which supports the dividend. This segment will increase with global population growth. 

Potash prices are stabilizing, without either positive or negative catalysts on the horizon. Not a bad entry point. Yield is 4.5%.

DON'T BUY

She sold it. Shares now are where they were when they merged. She misjudged the cyclicality of the fertilizer industry. Prices spiked after Russia invaded Ukraine, but farmers cut back spending on fertilizer because of the high price, so prices have collapsed. Also, BHP will produce a lot of potash in years to come.

WATCH

Doesn't own, but watches. Recently beat on EPS. Concerning miss on Q2 revenue. Under pressure over last 3 years, despite rallies. Downward trend. Risk/reward just not there. Analysts see 24% upside, but she'd wait to see a turnaround.

Well diversified, but too volatile for her.

DON'T BUY
Corn's at a 4-year low.

The simple answer is to own it when the price of corn's going up, don't own it when corn price goes down. Rumour is that farm cycle's doing down because volumes have been good, bumper crop.

DON'T BUY
Bottomed, or more to go?

Complex company in a complex situation. Well run. Potash drives everything, and now prices are lower. Low-cost operator BHP is coming in, and that's the unknown. It'll cause price pressure. He wouldn't go there.

BUY

Likes it at these levels and potash prices look firm. They have great retail operations, and trades at 7x operation cash flow and are buying back shares. Have growth sooner than later.

Unspecified

It spiked after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine but has fallen back. More fertilizer supply coming on is a concern. Also the economics at the farm level are somewhat challenged and Nutrien has retail outlets that sell to them. He does not see a catalyst for the stock at this point.

DON'T BUY

It is cyclical and moves with farm and food prices. The farm cycle is down and he doesn't see much money in it now except for the dividend of 4.4%.

TOP PICK

Biggest fertilizer producer in the world. High quality. Shares have pulled back nicely, potash price has really come off. Interesting entry point. Strong balance sheet, plenty of profitability. Buy now, add if further weakness. Nice yield of 4.1%, above the TSX market.

(Analysts’ price target is $89.67)
HOLD

2022 very profitable, but cyclical business. Commodities tend to go up and down, but is a stable business overall. Dividend yield is safe and compelling. Would recommend holding, and waiting for share price to fall before buying. Strong name and management team. 

WATCH

Started to recover earlier this year, but the trend has broken. Looks to have support around $64-65. Seems to be in a range of $64-80.
