The North American nitrogen industry is highly consolidated, with CF Industries, Nutrien, and LSB Industries accounting for the vast majority of domestic ammonia, UAN, and ammonium nitrate production. At current levels, LXU trades at an undemanding multiple on forward EBITDA, which we view as attractive given the company's meaningful upside leverage to improving nitrogen pricing.

Summary LSB Industries is undervalued, as it trades at a significant discount to the replacement value of its assets.
