Nutrien is the named leader of Fertilizer raw materials, the desk's top-ranked theme at rank 1, and my research seat clears the exposure question: this is a potash and nitrogen producer, so the theme's raw material is the product itself, not a second-order input. The accounts are sound rather than exciting — revenue grew 4% over the last year at a 30% gross margin, it keeps 15 cents of every revenue dollar as operating profit and turns 7 cents into free cash, on modest net debt of 1.9 times EBITDA, and it trades at 7.5 times EBITDA at the 64th percentile of its own 4 year range against a median of 7.3, so I am not paying a premium for the leader label. The strongest fact against it is that the engine is stalling and the market has already moved without the business: price is up 25% over 12m against revenue up 4%, with the multiple up 21%, and it earns only 8% on the capital in the business. I sell if it loses the leader seat in this theme, if the multiple runs materially above the top of that 4 year range on no improvement in growth, or if free cash conversion breaks down.
