What Analysts Are Saying About CF Industries Holdings Stock

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on CF Industries Holdings, Raises Price Target to $105

Turns out, when it comes to share repurchases, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-basic-materials-stocks">most materials companies</a> may have been better off buying the S&amp;P 500.
JPMorgan analyst Jeffrey Zekauskas just gave the sector a reality check: Of 31 major Materials firms tracked since 2019, nearly two-thirds saw negative absolute returns on their buyback programs. Even worse, 24 of them underperformed a simple S&amp;P 500 ETF investment, even after accounting for taxes.
The conclusion? These repurchases weren't just disappointing but financially destructive.
Across the group, billions were poured into buybacks that cratered in value. Celanese Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CE#NYSE">CE</a>) sank over $1.47 billion into repurchases, only to underperform a hypothetical S&amp;P 500 investment by more than $2.5 billion. Dow Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOW#NYSE">DOW</a>) fared even worse, erasing $3.5 billion in relative value. And Huntsman Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUN#NYSE">HUN</a>) torched $1.6 billion with an eye-watering 61.5% drop in buyback value.
But it wasn't all gloom.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Linde, Corteva, CF Prove Buybacks Can Work &#8211; If You Pick Your Spots</h2>
Among the few bright spots, Linde Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIN#NASDAQ">LIN</a>) stands tall. With a 58.7% return on buybacks &#8211; and a nearly $8.8 billion edge over the S&amp;P 500 &#8211; the industrial gas giant proved that timing, valuation, and execution still matter. 
Corteva Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTVA#NYSE">CTVA</a>), up 47.9% on its buybacks, outperformed by $1.36 billion. CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CF#NYSE">CF</a>) delivered a 40.1% gain and a $1.16 billion upside vs. the index.
What makes these companies different? For one, they've all posted significant share price gains over the six-year period — Corteva is up nearly 56%, and CF has surged 54%, easily outpacing the S&amp;P 500's 40.5% gain. Contrast that with firms like Tronox Holdings PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TROX#NYSE">TROX</a>), where the stock collapsed over 60%, and the case for more disciplined capital return becomes clear.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time For A New Materials Playbook?</h2>
Zekauskas' note makes a clear case: most Materials firms engage in buybacks without publishing any assessment of the value generated. Instead of accountability, there&#8217;s a blind faith in EPS boosts &#8211; which also conveniently pad executive comp packages.
Investors would be wise to scrutinize buyback programs in this sector, especially when management remains mum on returns. Until there's more transparency &#8211; and better timing &#8211; the Materials sector might want to trade in its buyback habit for one that&#8217;s a bit more… constructive.

90% Of Materials Firms Burned Billions On Bad Buybacks - Meet The 3 Winners

The Mosaic Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOS#NYSE">MOS</a>) shares slipped 5.3% at last check Friday during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mining">pre-market trading session</a>.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/ac45810181/mosaic-revises-guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revised</a> its second-quarter and full-year 2025 outlook, adjusting phosphate guidance downward while raising price expectations.
The company now sees Q2 diammonium phosphate (DAP) prices at $650–$670 per tonne, up from the previous $635–$655 range due to solid demand and limited supply. However, phosphate sales volumes were lowered to 1.5–1.6 million tonnes from the earlier 1.7–1.9 million estimate.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/dividends/25/06/45811867/how-to-earn-500-a-month-from-caseys-stock-ahead-of-q4-earnings">How To Earn $500 A Month From Casey&#8217;s Stock Ahead Of Q4 Earnings</a>
Full-year phosphate production guidance was also reduced to 7.0–7.3 million tonnes, compared to the prior 7.2–7.6 million range.
Potash forecasts remain unchanged. Mosaic continues to expect Q2 sales of 2.3–2.5 million tonnes and full-year output of 9.0–9.4 million tonnes. Mine-gate MOP pricing also holds steady at $230–$250 per tonne.
Operationally, the Bartow facility is running at target levels and should exceed 500,000 tonnes in Q2. New Wales is ramping up, with output set to rise over 20% from Q1. The commissioning of delayed gypsum handling systems is expected to be completed by early July, unlocking higher capacity.
At Riverview and Louisiana, extended maintenance and unplanned repairs led to temporary slowdowns. Both are expected to return to target run rates in Q3—1.6 million and 1.4 million tonnes annually, respectively.
Mosaic remains confident that its U.S. phosphate operations will reach an 8 million tonne annualized run rate in the second half of the year.

Mosaic Fertilizantes will benefit from improved pricing, seasonal margins, operational gains, and FX tailwinds. The full-year sales volume target of 10.0–10.8 million tonnes remains intact.
Core financial projections—capital expenditures ($1.2–$1.3 billion), depreciation and amortization ($1.1–$1.2 billion), SG&amp;A ($470–$500 million), and net interest expense ($180–$200 million)—were unchanged. Tax rates are still expected in the high-20s (effective) and mid-to-high 20s (cash).
CEO Bruce Bodine <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/ac45235869/mosaic-announces-first-quarter-2025-results">expects</a> around 15% growth in sales volume for the year and is well-positioned to navigate global trade and geopolitical challenges.
