Mizuho downgrade weighs on CF Industries despite surging fertilizer prices and Middle East supply disruptions
CF Industries closed at $123.29 yesterday with premarket jump to $129.22 offset by Mizuho downgrade to underperform (target: $100 from $95). Stock has surged 40% over 6 months as urea prices jumped 77% due to Middle East tensions disrupting one-third of global fertilizer exports. However, seven insiders sold over $10 million in shares at recent highs, raising profit-taking concerns.
