The Company is focused on decarbonizing its ammonia production network to enable low-carbon hydrogen and nitrogen products for energy, fertilizer, emissions abatement and other industrial activities. The Company's segments include Ammonia, Granular Urea, UAN, AN and Other. Ammonia segment produces anhydrous ammonia (ammonia), which is the base product that it manufactures (containing 82% nitrogen and 18% hydrogen). Granular Urea segment produces granular urea, which contains 46% nitrogen. UAN segment produces urea ammonium nitrate solution (UAN). AN segment produces ammonium nitrate (AN). Other segment primarily includes products, such as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), urea liquor and nitric acid.

CF Industries is currently priced at $125.79, with a forward P/E ratio of 8.55, indicating it is relatively undervalued compared to its earnings potential. However, insider selling has increased by 190.48% recently, which raises concerns about insider confidence in the stock. The stock has shown a year-to-date change of +56.98%, reflecting strong performance, but the recent downgrade by Freedom Broker from Buy to Hold with a lowered price target of $133 suggests caution. Overall, while the fundamentals are strong, the insider activity and mixed analyst ratings suggest it may be wise to hold rather than buy at this time.

17 analysts cover CF: 6 rate it Buy, 9 Hold and 2 Sell. The average price target is 87.55.
