Revenue by Segment
Forward Guidance
Nitrogen pricing increased in recent months, reflecting production outages at several large international ammonia plants and low inventory levels.
Positive Outlook
- Nitrogen pricing increased in recent months reflecting production outages at several large international ammonia plants
- Nitrogen pricing increased in recent months reflecting low inventory levels resulting from destocking throughout the nitrogen distribution channel
- Expectations of strong demand for nitrogen fertilizers in the Fall 2023 ammonia application season and the Spring 2024 planting season
- Current prices for ammonia and other nitrogen products should prove attractive to retailers and farmers
- Favorable U.S. corn market dynamics providing support for stronger fertilizer pricing later this year and into next year
Challenges Ahead
- Increased U.S. ammonia production capacity coming online in early 2024 may partially offset strengthening pricing trends
- Impacts of high inflation in the U.S. are offset by global producers shifting production from international facilities to U.S. operations
