Mosaic Is Good, But CF Industries Is Better
Now is a good time to consider adding agricultural stocks to hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainties. Leading stocks like Mosaic and CF Industries are attractive candidates. Profitability is near a peak level in a decade, yet valuations are in the single-digit and very reasonable. High commodity prices, record low grain and oil seed stock and the Russian/Ukraine situation all can persist longer than anticipated and create tailwinds for both. CF Industries is the stronger buy in comparison. Its higher profitability can more than compensate for its valuation premium and leads to higher total returns.
