Canada’s Nutrien boosts earnings outlook, posts greater than anticipated quarterly revenue


By Rod Nickel

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Could 3 (Reuters)Canada’s Nutrien Ltd NTR.TO, the world’s greatest fertilizer producer by capability, raised its full-year revenue steerage and swung to a much bigger than anticipated quarterly revenue on Monday, as crop costs climb.

Costs of potash, Nutrien’s core crop nutrient, have risen this yr in Brazil and the USA. Greater costs of corn and canola give farmers extra incentive to use fertilizer to maximise manufacturing.

Nutrien elevated its 2021 steerage for adjusted internet earnings to between $2.55 and $3.25 per share, up from a earlier vary of $2.05 to $2.75 per share.

The corporate’s outcomes mirrored partly a restoration in international agricultural markets, Chief Govt Mayo Schmidt stated.

Buyers anticipate Schmidt, who grew to become CEO final month, to swing offers as a part of a extra aggressive progress technique, after an abrupt shake-up at Canada’s greatest agriculture firm.

The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based firm posted adjusted internet earnings of $165 million, or 29 cents per share, within the first quarter, in contrast with a lack of $69 million, or 12 cents a share, a yr earlier. Analysts have been anticipating a revenue of 8 cents per share.

Potash gross sales rose 10% to three.2 million tonnes yr over yr, whereas Nutrien’s common value climbed 8% to $194 per tonne.

Rival Mosaic Co MOS.N reported quarterly adjusted revenue of 57 cents per share and in addition surpassed expectations, after posting a loss a yr in the past.
