RENTECH NITROGEN PARTNERS LP

  • Valuation Of MLP Ownership Not Factored Into Price

    By Mike Thiessen - May 9, 2013 | Tickers: UAN, RNF, RTK

    Rentech (NYSEMKT: RTK) has been classified as a clean energy company however this is changing, and it has a 60% ownership interest in a publicly traded fertilizer MLP.  The underlying value of this MLP, some argue, should result in a better valuation for Rentech.  Clean energy technologies are under increased scrutiny; relatively inexpensive natural gas and excess supply in solar and wind have led to an increasingly negative outlook for more »

  • 1 Stock to Buy Before Earnings

    By Neha Chamaria - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: CF, UAN, RNF, TNH

    Among the fertilizer companies about to announce their quarterly reports, one I am particularly looking forward to hearing about is CVR Partners (NYSE: UAN). The stock started the year with a bang, but is deep in the red now. After rising more than 10% in the first three weeks of January alone, CVR's shares gave up 14% gains in the past three months.

  • Buy Into This Golden Opportunity Before It Slips Away!

    By Neha Chamaria - April 16, 2013 | Tickers: CF, MON, POT, RNF, MOS

    CF Industries’ (NYSE: CF) shares have lost 17% value in the past three months. I can sense only one reason behind the bloodbath – rising natural gas prices. Gas prices are sitting pretty at a 20-month high currently. Why should CF investors worry? Well, natural gas is also the key input for nitrogen nutrient which in turn is CF’s bread and butter. Naturally, rising input costs can never be good more »

    Numbers that missed the Street estimates, earnings projections that failed to inspire, and dividend guidance that stumped investors – Is the tide turning against Rentech Nitrogen (NYSE: RNF)? Investors cheered when the fertilizer maker’s stock crossed the $49 mark in early February. The euphoria didn't last long – The stock has lost 27% since then.

  • The Ultimate Guide to Buying Fertilizer Stocks

    By Neha Chamaria - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, UAN, POT, RNF

    Sometimes it pays to just pay attention to the boring things in life. Think health food. Think farming. Or think of stuff that’s behind those corn fritters and tortillas on your plate. Unexciting as they may sound, but if it weren't  for fertilizers, you would hardly get to eat anything!

    So as a prudent investor, you should start weighing fertilizer stocks as well if you still haven’t more »

  • How These Farming Stocks Will Perform in 2013

    By Madhu Dube - March 7, 2013 | Tickers: UAN, RNF, MOS

    Last year wasn't ideal for agriculture, as the U.S. faced its worst drought, in decades. However, the situation seems to be changing now.  A winter storm in the southern plains should provide some relief and neutralize the impact of the drought to some extent. Consequently, improving weather conditions have led the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expect a decline in crop prices. Let's look at how more »

  • The Best Dividend Paying Agricultural Chemicals Stocks

    By Nauman Aly - March 6, 2013 | Tickers: POT, RNF, SMG

    For this article, I've researched dividend-paying companies in the Agricultural Chemicals Industry. Also, to make sure I find the best gems, all three stocks mentioned in this article comply with the following criteria:

    • Market Cap of more than $500 million and an average volume of at least 300K = Low Volatility = Low Beta

    Among the top three dividend companies in its space, CVR Partners (NYSE: UAN) returned the least over the past one year. I expected so, though not many agreed. But then, that’s the fun part!

  • Acted on These Analyst Downgrades? You Should Seriously Reconsider

    By Neha Chamaria - February 26, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, POT, RNF, MOS

    I watched in dismay as fertilizer stocks tanked on Friday after an influential analyst barged in with a string of downgrades. Dahlman Rose didn’t leave many – PotashCorp (NYSE: POT), CF Industries (NYSE: CF), Agrium (NYSE: AGU), and Rentech Nitrogen (NYSE: RNF) were bundled up in the ‘sell’ room, while Mosaic (NYSE: MOS) was demoted to ‘hold.’ All I know is that if you dumped your stock because Dahlman said more »

  • Low Debt and High Expectations

    By Joseph Porter - January 25, 2013 | Tickers: DCIX, DSX, RNF, RTK, RNO

    The first things I look at in any potential investment - and especially young companies - are the company's debt/equity ratio and its quick ratio.  If debt/equity > 1, and/or if quick ratio < 1, the company had better have stellar figures elsewhere, or my money is going elsewhere.

    If used right, debt can be an effective tool in growing one's business.  It can also be a way to more »

  • This Stock Will Give You a Great 2013

    By Shmulik Karpf - January 8, 2013 | Tickers: AGU, CF, POT, RNF, TNH

    There are many ways to invest in agriculture and farming: You can invest in farmland, in land machinery, or directly in commodities. But you can also invest in companies whose sole business is to provide ongoing maintenance to farmers and their crops, like fertilizing companies. My best choice in this sector is CF Industries (NYSE: CF)

    The company displays a fortress-like balance sheet. As of Sep. 2012 more »

  • 5 Agricultural Dividend Stocks for the Long Haul

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 5, 2013 | Tickers: ADM, DE, POT, RNF, TNH

    Strong population and income growth in the developing world have buoyed the demand for commodities, especially for food. At the same time, unstable weather has resulted in shortages of certain agricultural commodities, such as grains, driving prices higher. The robust demand facing limited supplies is likely to result in a new commodities supercycle, in which prices will climb substantially in the coming years. Some, like famous hedge fund manager Jeremy more »

  • Invest In Our Roots

    By Adam Levy - December 12, 2012 | Tickers: AGU, CF, POT, RNF, MOS

    In today’s post-industrial age of gadgets and gizmos, it’s hard to remember how our ancestors lived. 150 years ago, nearly 80% of the U.S. workforce was employed in the agriculture industry. Today, that number has shrunk to a miniscule 3%. And while the government believes that number will continue shrinking over the next decade, it doesn’t necessarily spell bad news for companies focused on the agriculture more »

    First aired in 2005, CNBC's Mad Money show is one of the most popular finance shows on air. Jim Cramer, the host and former hedge fund manager, has one goal: to help stock traders make some “mad money” by explaining to them the rules of the Wall Street game. During the Lightning Round, he accepts callers' challenges and comments on several stocks. Here, I review the three stocks discussed more »

  • Buy CF Industries for Future Growth

    By Douglas Ehrman - September 12, 2012 | Tickers: CF, POT, RNF, TNH, MOS

    As last Friday’s shaky jobs report all but guarantees the next round of quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve, the resulting upward pressure on inflation is bullish for commodities. While both hard commodities, like gold and silver, and soft commodities, like corn and wheat, will benefit from the news, those companies that remain one step removed may make the best investments. Under these conditions, fertilizer companies provide an excellent more »

    Who doesn’t like to see delectable dividends flowing into their bank accounts regularly, especially when they come from stocks belonging to a high-growth, high-resilience industry?

    The fertilizer space is chock-a-bloc with such stocks, but there are three in particular that stand out for solid dividends. Yet, for those who think betting on a high-dividend yield stock is as safe as a brick (not for your head, of course), this more »
