Press Release: S&PGR Affirms CF Industries 'BBB-' Ratings; Outlook Negative

6:57 pm ET August 4, 2016 (Dow Jones

The following is a press release from Standard & Poor's:

-- We expect that U.S. nitrogen fertilizer producer CF Industries Inc.'s

operating performance will continue to be weak in 2016 and most of 2017, while

improving thereafter.

-- We are affirming our ratings on CF Industries Inc., including the

'BBB-' corporate credit and senior unsecured issue-level ratings.

-- We are also issuing an unsolicited 'BBB-' rating to the company's

amended $1.5 billion credit facility.

-- The negative outlook indicates at least a one-in-three chance we could

lower the ratings in the next 24 months if business conditions or management's

financial policies result in weighted average adjusted debt to EBITDA

consistently above 3x.

Am I the only one interested in this Gem? I think we will see in a couple of months when the world settles with it's global problems and starts to move north in the direction of profitable returns..remember after this merger CF will be one of the biggest fertilizer companys in the world and if I am right it will climb faster with the merger in place to where this stock was once before the split and the gradual climb in the chart before the split was a buet ..alone without the merger one would have even guess (like myself) it will eventually come back up to where it once was with time, but now with the merger it's a plus that it will, in a rather shorter period of time. JMO and my wallet to back this theory up!

Inflation = good for CF

As the government spends, we'll see more quantitative easing, and rising prices in commodities.

This means more non-prime ag land will get put into crop production, and higher prices on CF products.

10baggerlong 10baggerlong 10 years ago
From Investors Place:

Agriculture has been a staple in the world economy since the very first farm. Consequently, agricultural stocks have proved to be a stable, reliable choice for consistent growth and income. Constant advances in farming technology, more refined methods of crop cycling, and an increased demand for organic foods have put the agricultural industry in an economic position that is ripe for the picking.
Within agriculture are the markets of crops such as corn, wheat, and potatoes as well as livestock such as cows, sheep, and chickens. Because these are all finite resources, all of these commodities hold significant value. Some of the largest agricultural corporations include Monsanto (NYSE:MON), Mosaic (NYSE:MOS), and CF Industries (NYSE:CF).

Wind, solar, and hydro are reductions in carbon utilization. Burning fuel is a conversion of hydrocarbons or cellulose to water, carbon dioxide, and ash.

Photosynthesis and limestone formation are carbon sequestration.

Scientists theorize that a mass extinction occurred 250 million years ago, because the Earth spewed the unused hydrocarbons all at once.

My research suggests that the event created massive HABs in the ocean, and those HABs are now called "oil, gas, and coal"

Global Warming is basically the same explosion in a more controlled and controllable form, and should be called a "greenhouse effect, IMHO.

BTW, one could likely set up a solar power grid to take calcium and carbon dioxide, and turn it into limestone.

I know nothing about the technology and really don't have the time for study. Best I know, we either heat the water to make steam that in turn makes electricity or we use the power of water for the same purpose. I have no idea what the life expectancy is for the Hoover Dam, so until then I think our country will continue with wind and solar.

No, I actually developed a way to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, and mitigate the effects using things like fertilizer, seawater, and sunlight.

It's usually referred to in general dialogue as "Aquaculture" or "Mariculture."

I believe I have solved the problem of HAB's which are a major impediment to such work.

I like my combustion motorized vehicle and have no intentions of giving it up at the moment. I'm sure there are many others out there in the same position as I who would agree. I just can't afford a Tesla and wouldn't want to deal with range issues. I take it your against the Keith Stone Pipeline?

We have LNG terminals, we just need more. I think gas is flared because we can't store it. If the developer is flaring gas, they're going after the liquid. Gas producing wells are simply shut in until demand and pricing power returns. All my humblest opinion.

Conspiracy theory, humanitarian effort, take your pick. I don't care to speculate. I think we're in agreement on the coal buildout, in that it will take long and incur many costs.

I do not blame sciene for people starving, that is more of a governing problem in other countries, imo. Here in the states, 50% of our population is foodstamp dependant. If anything, blame food shortages on the weather, namely drought conditions.

You might also note that LNG requires a massive buildout, which is why they flare the gas. Nobody wants to live near an LNG terminal or a Nuclear Power reactor.

Might be a good idea to believe Putin when he says he's on a humanitarian mission. The build out would take ten years.

I became interested in fertilizer because I use it to grow shrimp and algae. I sequester excess carbon in the form of Scampi. Do you suppose that the environmentalists will ever consider how many people are starving because of their near sighted policies?

That's great if the process exists in masses, otherwise the build out. And, only if you have a diesel engine. I think we'll instead focus on LNG exports. We have plenty, we can't store it and much of it is burned at the well tip. Then there's that carbon footprint that's bad for the environment and our current administration does not support the coal industry. Also, if the Ukraine fert plants have to convert, they won't be able to compete with our domestic producers as their price point/margin would get destroyed. Here in the U.S., it's cheaper to import steel from China than to produce it domestically. Good talking points tho.

The same process which make fertilizer out of coal can make clean diesel.

It's called the Fischer-Tropsch process. The process requires the sulphur to be removed before the catalysts will convert the energy to diesel. Coal gas can be modified to be a plug in replacement for Natty.

The EU will not impose sanctions anytime soon, imo. The EU is currently energy dependant on the Ruskies? Try running a vehicle on coal, I don't think it will work.

The EU is not ready to impose sanctions on Russia, and the only way Obama can get them to do so, would be to open the coal fields.

Russia is #1 gas producer in the world, #2 oil producer. The EU is their biggest customer, so not sure what to make of what you write.

I don't do conspiracy theory!

A few articles spelled out the problems with getting in Russia's space. Germany depends on their oil and gas, and I think the UK does, a little. We know that fertilizer costs will rise, or they will have to learn how to use Coal again, or buy from China.

So you think Obama will rob Peter to pay Paul? He could finally give up the war on Coal to support the fascists in the Ukraine.

(A few articles suggest that the takeover of the Ukraine was orchestrated by a fascist group, with American support)
