CF Industries Holdings has gained 15.4% over the past year, outperforming the Zacks Fertilizers industry's 54.2% decline, supported by robust global nitrogen fertilizer demand and higher selling prices. The company reported a roughly 19% year-over-year increase in first-quarter net sales, driven by pricing strength amid supply disruptions and strong agricultural activity. However, rising natural gas costs remain a headwind, with the average cost increasing to $4.57 per MMBtu in the first quarter of 2026 from $3.68 a year earlier, pressuring margins. CF Industries currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
