Is Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE:NTR) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Nutrien Ltd. at current levels.
Potash oligopoly with farmer balance sheets healing, India and Brazil demand re-accelerating, and a retail arm the market treats like an afterthought.
Where NTR is headed
Picture Nutrien in mid-2028. Potash has settled into a $360-400/tonne range as Belarusian volumes remain partially sidelined and Chinese contract pricing anchors higher than the 2023-2024 trough. Brazilian soybean acreage hits another record on the back of Chinese soy demand shifting permanently away from US suppliers (a second-order gift from the trade fights that Nutrien quietly banks every quarter). India, having underbought potash for three straight monsoons, is back in the market with subsidy reform finally letting prices reflect reality. The result: a potash business doing $2.4B EBITDA on roughly 14M tonnes of shipments, versus the depressed $1.6B run-rate the Street still anchors to.
