Nutrien: Low-Cost Producer of Potassium and Nitrogen Fertilizers
Steven Gorelik of Firebird Management presented his in-depth investment thesis on Nutrien (US: NTR) at Best Ideas 2021.
Thesis summary:
Nutrien is a vertically integrated fertilizer producer formed in 2018 as a result of a merger of Agrium and Potash Corp. Today, Nutrien is one of the lowest-cost producers of potassium and nitrogen-based fertilizers, benefiting from unique geology and low price of North American natural gas.
Unlike other commodity companies that tend to misallocate capital, Nutrien is investing incremental cash into value-accretive expansion of its global retail network. While fertilizer prices are near multi-year lows, increasing demand and tailwind from the weakening US dollar should bring them back to the historical averages.
Steve estimates that Nutrien trades at a 25% normalized free cash flow yield and is worth at least double the recent market price.
