CF Industries Holdings, Inc. (CF) Presents at Goldman Sachs Industrials and Materials Conference 2025 Transcript
CF Industries is upgraded to Strong Buy thanks to robust free cash flow, aggressive buybacks, and solid long-term growth projects like Blue Point. CF's valuation remains significantly below peers despite strong financial performance, with management actively repurchasing shares to capitalize on perceived undervaluation. Macro tailwinds, including US rate cuts, trade deals, and decarbonization trends, support CF's outlook, though industry volatility and risks persist.
