Potash Corp., Mosaic, CF Industries, and Intrepid Potash Under StockCall's Microscope
LONDON, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Global food demand has been rising on the back of increasing population and rising income levels in emerging countries. Agricultural chemicals companies such as Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. (NYSE: POT), Mosaic Co. (NYSE: MOS), CF Industries Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CF), and Intrepid Potash Inc. (NYSE: IPI) have benefited immensely over the past decade from this trend. As farmers look to improve yields to meet rising demand, the outlook for agricultural chemicals companies remains bullish. On Tuesday, though, shares of all four companies struggled as the Basic Materials sector posted significant losses despite a rally in the broad market.
