Nutrien Price Target Lowered to US$55 at CIBC

MT Newswires Live12-10

CIBC Capital Markets lowered its price target on Nutrien Ltd. (NTR.TO, NTR) to US$55 from US$60.

Analyst Hamir Patel assumed coverage of the Canadian fertilizer company with an Outperformer rating.

"With significant underutilized potash capacity (LTM op. rate of ~69%), Nutrien is well positioned to benefit from favourable long-term demand for potash," Patel said in a note to clients.

"While we admittedly see limited potential for elevated potash pricing over the medium-term (given upcoming industry capacity additions), Nutrien should drive free cash flow growth through further expansion of profitability in its Retail business (one-third of mid-cycle earnings)," the analyst said.

"At the same time, we expect increased share repurchase activity supported by higher operating earnings and declining capex spending into 2025."
