Nufarm lifts earnings, cuts debt and targets extra $50m in cost savings

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Nufarm Limited ( (AU:NUF) ) has provided an update.

Nufarm reported a strong first-half performance for FY26, with underlying EBITDA expected between $239 million and $244 million, driven by higher Crop Protection margins, growth in Hybrid Seeds and improved omega-3 and bioenergy platforms. Net debt fell to about $1.23 billion and leverage declined to roughly 3.6 times EBITDA, reflecting improved cash generation, lower capex and tighter working capital as the company continues to de‑leverage.

Under new CEO Rico Christensen, Nufarm has launched the first stage of a strategy refresh targeting an additional $50 million in gross cost savings by the end of FY27, focused on optimising its asset footprint, product portfolio, manufacturing and SG&A. Management reports positive trading momentum continuing into April and says it is offsetting higher input, freight and energy costs tied to Middle East tensions through disciplined inventory and pricing, suggesting resilience in operations despite a more challenging cost environment.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NUF) stock is a Buy with a A$3.60 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nufarm Limited stock, see the AU:NUF Stock Forecast page.
