Buy: CF Industries Holdings (CF)
from 2 for 1 Stock Split Newsletter
CF Industries Holdings (CF) manufactures fertilizer and other nitrogen based products. Founded in Chicago as a farmer’s co-operative in 1946, it was named Central Farmers Fertilizer Company. The business model has evolved, with the company finally going public in 2005.
CF’s debt level and volatility are higher than I like but these metrics are over-shadowed by terrific profitability and ROE numbers. Valuation ratios are reasonable and the dividend is icing on the cake.
