CF Industries shares moved as investors reacted to signs that the Middle East conflict is tightening global nitrogen supply, pushing urea prices higher and causing sulfur shortages that are forcing phosphate producers to cut output. These disruptions have sharpened expectations for fertilizer profitability and future cash flows.
Reflecting the stronger pricing backdrop, Goldman Sachs lifted its price target on CF Industries to $132 from $103 while maintaining a Neutral rating. The bank argued that while earnings power has improved with tighter markets, much of the upside may already be reflected in the current share price.
