7 Agricultural Stocks to Buy to Keep Your Portfolio Well Fed - 3 of 7

 
 

#3 - Nutrien (NYSE:NTR)

Next on this list of agricultural stocks to buy is Nutrien (NYSE:NTR). The company offers many of the products that are used in farming. But it’s one, in particular, that may be particularly relevant to investors in the coming quarters. The company produces potash. Ukraine is one of the leading suppliers of potash. But that supply has largely been offline since the Russian invasion.

While the company doesn’t have the market cornered on potash, it is the world’s largest producer of potash. That may explain the company’s exceptional performance thus far in 2022. The second quarter is typically the company’s best in terms of revenue. And this year was no exception, with the company posting a record $14.51 billion, a 48% increase from the prior year.

NTR stock is up 15% while the markets are at bear market lows. Nutrien also has a P/E ratio of 7x earnings and a tasty dividend that pays out $1.92 on an annual basis which currently calculates to a 2.21% dividend yield.
