In other recent news, Nutrien Ltd. announced plans to shut down its Trinidad Nitrogen operations at the Point Lisas facility, effective October 23, 2025. The decision was made due to port access restrictions imposed by Trinidad and Tobago’s National Energy Corporation and challenges in securing a reliable and economic natural gas supply. These issues have impacted the free cash flow contribution from the Trinidad operations over an extended period. Additionally, Nutrien has reached an agreement to sell its 50% equity stake in the Argentine nitrogen producer Profertil S.A. for approximately $600 million. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2025, pending customary closing conditions and a right of first refusal by the remaining equity owner. On the analyst front, BofA Securities downgraded Nutrien from Buy to Neutral, citing concerns over the momentum of the fertilizer price rally, particularly in ammonia and potash markets. Jefferies also lowered its price target for Nutrien to $60 while maintaining a Hold rating, following the announcement of the Profertil stake sale. These developments highlight significant strategic shifts for Nutrien in its operational and investment strategies.
