PhosAgro - Finding Fertile Ground

A confluence of factors has helped push phosphate prices higher in defiance of the traditional off-season slump and new capacity from market leaders. Chief among these factors are the recent rise in raw material prices, anecdotal evidence of supply disruption in China and expectations of strong demand for phosphate. Best positioned to benefit from these trends are vertically integrated producers such as PhosAgro. Meanwhile, better than expected progress on growth projects, together with a weaker local currency, should add up to strong earnings growth next year for PhosAgro, with EBITDA likely exceeding $1.2 bln (up more than 25% y-o-y). We increase our target price from $17.45 to $19.60 per GDR and upgrade the stock from HOLD to BUY.
